Pregnant woman who died several times after heart attack gave birth to a baby



A pregnant mother who suffered a severe heart attack and 'died' several times on the operating table gave birth to a son just a week later.

Cheryl Crisp, 35, lost her memory after doctors were forced to induce a coma when she suffered a heart attack at six months' pregnant. She told today how she woke up from a coma and asked her partner why she was in hospital - only to be told that she had suffered a heart attack and had a baby.

Miss Crisp had been shopping with Mr Kemp on December 2 when she passed out in their car before suffering a heart attack. Mr Kemp drove to their GP surgery in Elmers End near their home in Beckenham, South East London. Cheryl was immediately sent into theatre where doctors carried out emergency surgery to remove the clot.

The mum's heart stopped several times on the table as surgeons battled to save her life and that of her unborn son. And because of the unborn baby, doctors could not give her the normal drugs to help her heart.

Doctors were able to remove the clot and Cheryl finally came round from the induced coma six days later.

Cheryl, from Beckenham, Kent had suffered memory loss and had no idea she was pregnant. But She gave birth to Albie who weighed in at just 2lb 7oz.

Albie is still being cared for in the special unit. He has breathing problems but doctors are hoping he will overcome his difficulties.
