A mum has spoken of her heartbreak of losing her baby girl after contracting Covid-19 late into her pregnancy.
Toni Dennan, 31, was seven months pregnant when she caught the virus and became very unwell in 2020. At the time covid vaccines were unavailable for people in her younger age bracket.
Toni, who lives near Chester with her husband Lee, went into hospital for monitoring and when the situation became more critical she was rushed into theatre for a c-section. Tragically, little Darcey Dennan was stillborn on December 28, 2020, and Toni was discharged from hospital without her little girl three days later. Tests later revealed Covid-19 had destroyed the placenta.
