A mum-to-be was told she had a deadly disease growing inside her at 20 weeks pregnant.
Laura Elizabeth Mahon, from St Helens, first realised something was wrong when she woke up and couldn't move her toes. Laura, who was 20 weeks pregnant at the time, went to see her GP who believed her baby was pressing against a nerve.
She was referred to The Walton Centre for an MRI scan of her back, but when the results came back clear she was sent for another MRI scan on her brain to make sure everything was OK.
