McKenna West, 28, a surrogate mother carrying the offspring of a Californian couple, has traveled across America to save the life of her unborn child.
West, a nurse from Alaska, is currently 35 weeks pregnant with a baby boy she has named Gabriel and is set to give birth on September 2.
Halfway through the pregnancy, an ultrasound diagnosed the fetus with a severe but treatable cardiac condition, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS).
