Against all odds, she welcomed her daughter Reyven-Vallenty seven months later. Cleaner Soraia, from Manchester, said: "As soon as I was in hospital, I didn't know if my baby would survive. They said I would lose my baby, but I didn't.
"I lost my vision, I couldn't walk, I was just stuck in the bed for two months being fed through a drip. It was so scary. All of my skin was burning all over my body.
"When I started reacting to the medicine, all of these bubbles appeared on my skin, like they were filled with water. It was very painful.
"As soon as I was in hospital, I didn't know if my baby would survive. They said I would lose my baby, but I didn't.
"The doctors had to burst the bubbles so the fluid would come out. They had to put me to sleep, and they gave me lots of pain relief so I couldn't feel what they were doing.
"Every time that I woke up, the first thing that I would ask is how is my baby. The doctors said I shouldn't think about the baby as I could lose it and just worry about myself but I always worried about my baby. It was so scary."
