'My baby was taken from me minutes after she was born - we're praying for a Christmas miracle'
One final push and Loren Bowcock heard the cries of her newborn baby girl fill the room. Doctors held the tot by the exhausted mum’s face for a moment before quickly taking her away. One glance was all Loren got.
Everything appeared fine with Loren’s pregnancy until she went for her 20-week scan. A sonographer was scanning Matilda’s heart when she noticed some of her arteries were crossed over. “You never think it’s going to happen to someone like you. It’s the most traumatic thing I’ve ever been through.” “They told me it would be open but I didn’t think it would be that open,” she added. “She had a gauge over it but it was clear. I could see straight into her.
Due to the blood clots on her neck, medics have placed her on blood thinners. She is also on a special feed as her body is struggling to digest fat. Doctors think she will remain in hospital for her first Christmas.
