By Inderdeep Bains A couple who finally conceived after nine years of trying lost their baby because of a fatal human error by hospital staff, an inquest heard. Karen Legg, 37, and her husband Sion, 30, were overjoyed when she became pregnant naturally with Alyssa Rose after four courses of unsuccessful fertility treatment. But their daughter died at just seven days old last July because she had been starved of oxygen at birth. Tragic: Alyssa Rose Legg died at just a week old after being starved of oxygen at birth. An inquest heard she would have survived had she been delivered 18 minutes earlier
