Mum gives birth to 'remarkable' little girl after being advised to terminate pregnancy

The mum of a baby with Down's Syndrome claims that she was left feeling suicidal when she states that she was advised to terminate her pregnancy before her daughter's condition was confirmed.

Hetty Blakey gave birth to her child Poppy on November 2, 2021, and has overcome a number of obstacles throughout her pregnancy and in the three months since her daughter's birth.

The mum states that she feels let down the the hospitals that treated her baby over her care, including Lincoln County and Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby, and said that she was told to consider changing her address to be closer to specialist care, Hull Live reports.
