Woman has 'miracle' baby after brain tumour treatment that could have left her infertile

A midwife who faced the prospect of being left infertile after undergoing treatment for a brain tumour has given birth to a daughter she calls her "miracle baby". Leah Fox fell ill while on her honeymoon in Barbados and needed a complex operation plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy which could have left her unable to have children.

However, Leah and her husband Andrew have now become parents to baby Clara - and the mum said the couple are "over the moon", adding: "She is so cute and our miracle baby."

Leah underwent brain surgery at University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust in December 2021. The procedure - an awake craniotomy - was one of the most complex brain operations ever carried out at the trust, CoventryLive reports.
