A mum has spoken of her heartbreak at losing her baby son after he was born with a rare birthmark on his liver.
Rebecca Stevenson and her husband Adam, both originally from Ayr, welcomed their son Leo on August 2, 2019 at just 35 weeks, and were devastated when doctors told the couple their baby boy had a hemangioma — more commonly known as a strawberry birthmark — which covered half his liver.
The birthmark was so unusually large it had caused his heart to swell to double its size and doctors warned the couple the tot would not survive to full term.
