Stafford mum who gave birth during cardiac arrest
Natasha's heart stopped for a total of 14 minutes after she collapsed in A&E at the Royal Stoke hospital in December - after experiencing difficulty breathing, chest pains and a persistent cough. A 30-strong team had to do CPR on her, and also carry out a Caesarean section to help her give birth at the same time. Baby Beau was delivered within four minutes, while the CPR continued on-and-off for 40 minutes. Following the emergency procedure, Natasha was placed in an induced coma and transferred to a critical care unit, while her daughter received care from specialist paediatric and neonatal teams. After spending two days in a neonatal intensive care unit, the baby was able to go home to Stafford with Natasha's husband, Ayo. Natasha was then reunited with Beau and her other daughter, 14-month-old Love, in time for Christmas following two weeks on a specialist heart ward.
