The new-mum is to celebrate her first Christmas with her baby after realising she had a brain tumour and was rushed in for life-saving emergency surgery

When she struggled to hold him Abi decided she had to go to A&E.

Scans revealed she had a brain tumour measuring 7cm by 5cm and medics told her she was days from having a stroke.

She was rushed in for life-saving emergency brain surgery when Roman was 12 days old.

Abi, of Congleton, Lancs, said: “If it hadn’t been for my son, I would have just carried on and assumed I’d get better naturally.

“It scared me when I couldn’t hold him properly and my husband Ross was about to go back to work, so I had to be OK for Roman.”

Abi, who works as a mentor for people with disabilities, returned home three days after the op.

She said: “When doctors told me I had a brain tumour, the news didn’t sink in.

“The whole thing has been an absolute whirlwind and rollercoaster of emotions. I don’t know how I’d have coped without my amazing husband and new baby.”

Abi and civil servant Ross, 28, are now looking forward to their first family Christmas.

She added: “My story has a happy ending and I have my miracle baby to thank.”
