A woman has given birth after discovering she has an inoperable brain tumour when she was 20 weeks pregnant. Laura Mahon, 29, has been given two years to live but says she is fighting to stay strong for her family - including her new arrival.
Laura, from St. Helens, Merseyside, began struggling to walk at the 20-week mark and was unable to move her right leg or her toes. Following an MRI scan she was told she had been diagnosed with a brain tumour and at 27 weeks pregnant her condition began to deteriorate.
Laura and her partner Danny made the difficult choice to undergo a planned caesarean at 30 weeks. On November 30 2021, Sienna Grace Laura Mahon was born - weighing just 3.4lbs.
