A Scots dad has recalled the moment doctors asked him whether they should save the life of his baby son or fiancee when she went into premature labour at just 24 weeks.
Dad-of-six Michael McConnell, from Falkirk, spoke of the terrifying moment a doctor at Wishaw General Hospital pulled him to one side and whispered: "If push comes to shove, who survives, mum or baby?"
Things had taken a dramatic turn when Michael's partner Stephanie Brown, 29, was giving birth to the couple's son Michael, known as Mickey, at 16 weeks early on November 8 last year.
