You may call it a miracle-a baby saved his mother's life before he was even born just by kicking in the womb only to alert doctors of a tumour inside.
Mother-to-be 26 year old Claire feared she was losing him18 weeks into pregnancy.But,doctors discovered the "miscarriage"was actually a tumour in the womb which her unborn son had kicked free,the"news of the world"reported.
Claire was advised to have an abortion immediately so her cancer could be treated.Bur she said"I couldn't end my baby's life when he had saved mine."The cancer had been growing for months and if he hadn't kicked the tumour it would have carried on growing till it was too late..I new if anything happened to me,then this baby would be loved,so i was willing to take the risk."
She continued with the pregnancy until 26 weeks when the tumour had trebled in size.then doctors told beautician Claire and her husband that they had to deliver the baby then-but gave him only 40%chance of survival.Little Harry weighed over 2 pounds when he was born at St.Thomas hospital London.
Claire was quoted as saying"He was tiny.We were just praying he would pull through.They showed him to me and quickly rushed him down to intensive care"
Claire is now in remission and her boy is a healthy 2 year old.
