A Nottinghamshire mum has opened up about her struggles during pregnancy
A Mansfield mum has opened up about her struggles during pregnancy after being told one of her twins might not survive beyond birth. Amie Whitehouse was told after getting pregnant with twins through IVF that one of her children had a potentially deadly heart condition.
"I then went to a different hospital to see someone more senior and they gave me the news that there was quite a severe heart defect. Having had all the initial scans for Down Syndrome, we were told there was a high chance he might have a serious syndrome that could mean he could be incredibly disabled because of the hole in his heart."
"She scanned them and basically said there's chance that he could have a chromosomal syndrome, and basically, either he would die shortly after labour, he might not survive the labour or he might only have a heart defect. "At the time it was horrific. It was horrific because they were twins so every midwife appointment we went to the midwife couldn't determine whose heartbeat she could hear.
But Charlie's childhood has not been without some struggle, and when the youngster's heart started to struggle, he needed surgery. His surgery was scheduled at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester when he was just three years old.
