A mother gave birth to a baby boy after doctors repeatedly assured her she was going through the menopause.
Anita Arora, 46, said the child almost died in her womb after her suspicions that she was pregnant were ignored.
Her son, Matthew, was delivered in a life-saving operation on Christmas Day – just two days after she found out she was expecting.
The infant, who was two months premature, would have died if surgeons had not delivered him immediately because of problems with the placenta.
She said: ‘I told them five months ago I thought I was pregnant. My periods had stopped and I was gaining weight. I asked whether it was possible, but they told me not to worry, it was just my age.’
Mrs Arora, a post office manager, and her driving instructor husband Kanti, 48, already have two children – Neil, 15, and Kamya, 13.
