Thanks to a trailblazing new surgery being performed in European hospitals, Bethan Simpson’s unborn daughter has been given a second chance at good health.
The 26-year-old mom recently became the fourth woman in the UK to undergo a procedure that treats an infant’s spina bifida before they are even born.
Spina bifida is a birth defect that hinders a child’s physical development, which generally results in paralysis and impaired motor function. If a fetus is diagnosed with the defect, doctors generally advise mothers to terminate the pregnancy.
Simpson and her husband were heartbroken to hear that their daughter had developed the condition – but then Simpson heard about a groundbreaking new surgery that treats spina bifida outside the womb.
