A mother who put her "weird feelings" down to her pregnancy and busy lifestyle was shocked to learn from doctors she in fact had an aggressive brain tumour. Lauren Champion, 31, first realised something was seriously wrong in October 2021, while she was pregnant.
She dismissed her condition at the time, however, believing it was a product of her circumstances. Seamstress Lauren said: "I had weird feelings of confusion, loss of muscle control down my right side, and loss of my peripheral vision in my right eye. I just thought I was tired and slightly stressed from having a busy lifestyle."
Five weeks after giving birth to her baby Otto though, the new mum was still suffering from the same symptoms. A month later she suffered a tonic-clonic seizure and was subsequently taken to hospital - where the true cause was found.
