Mum gives birth to twins after heart attack (UK)

"A mum has told of her incredible battle for life after suffering a massive heart attack just before giving birth to twins. As the babies were rushed for special care Nina Whear was given only a seven per cent chance of survival and said a heartbreak goodbye to her husband. But she went on to stage an amazing recovery and is now almost well enough to cuddle little Eva and Alfie - who had weighed in at 3lb 11oz and 4lb 10oz. Nina, 38, said: 'It was the most frightening night of my life.' The new mum had the devastating heart attack at home two weeks before she was due to give birth. Paramedics found her 'blue from head-to-toe and covered in sweat'. They kept her alive with oxygen during the dash to hospital where she had a caesarean followed by open-heart surgery. Before the op doctors feared the worst and asked the hospital chaplain to see her. Then they left her alone with husband Andy, an Army sergeant who had sped 100 miles from his base so they could say goodbye." - Mirror
