A mum ignored repeated medical advice to terminate her pregnancy and gave birth to a baby girl who has defied all odds. Katie White, 24, had a completely normal pregnancy up until she reached 20 weeks.
She went in for a standard ultrasound check-up but as soon as the scan appeared on screen it was clear something was wrong. A specialist doctor analysed the ultrasound, and her unborn baby girl was diagnosed with hydrocephalus - a build-up of fluid on the brain.
The specialist predicted the worst and said baby Kensley would likely never be able to walk, talk or eat. But Katie ignored advice and continued with the pregnancy, and despite having hydrocephalus, Kensley, 14 months old, is a happy little baby reaching all her milestones.
