A Scots mum has told how she cries every night after learning her unborn baby daughter only has a 50/50 chance of surviving with a part of her brain missing.
Toni, 28, and husband Arron McNally, 32, found out at the 20 week scan at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh that their baby had a condition called micrognathia, where the lower jaw is undersized and can interfere in breathing and feeding, and also fluid on the brain.
The hospital said at that stage they couldn't determine where the fluid was coming from so Toni was asked to come in for weekly scans. At 25 weeks, the parents world was ripped apart when they learned that the fluid was caused by a rare condition, a genesis of the corpus collosom, where part of the baby's brain was missing.
Speaking to the Record, Toni explained how medics have since continually warned her to prepare for the worst.
The brave mum says she thinks she 'will suffer mentally for the rest of her life' from the trauma of the past few months.
Toni, from Oakley in Fife, said: “A few weeks after the initial diagnosis I was sent for an MRI and they told us our baby only had a 50/50 chance of survival. They told us that she has a serious gene error, Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18, which are often life-threatening

“It is so much to take in and I’m completely exhausted and emotionally drained from the overload of information about the diagnosis and potential outcomes.
“I am almost 32 weeks pregnant now so for the last three months I have been battling anxiety and depression the whole time. I honestly think I
