A mother and father were told that their baby girl would be born with half a heart when they went for a 20-week hospital scan. Hannah Marsden and Michael Lewis gave birth to Mila-Boo on June 16, 2022.
Minutes after she was born the doctors took her away, and she was later diagnosed with Hypoplastic Heart Syndrome. The NHS defines the condition as when the left lower pumping chamber of the heart does not develop properly.
Speaking exclusively to the Liverpool Echo, Hannah said: "We were told it was highly unlikely we could get pregnant without IVF. We were due for our first round in January 2022 but found out we were pregnant while isolating with covid in September of 2021.
