A pregnant Scots mum had to give birth to her first child early following a shock cervical cancer diagnosis.
Charlotte Hutchinson was pregnant with her daughter Ariella Burns when she began suffering from minor bleeding. The 29-year-old, from Bearsden, went for a maternity assessment before being referred to a gynaecologist who suspected she might have cervical cancer.
The baby had to be born early so they could get to the bottom of the issue - and it then took five months for her to be formally diagnosed with the disease due to inconclusive biopsies.
