Miraculous: Kate Weaver, pictured with her newborn son Toby, gave birth while still paralysed
A woman who had a stroke days before she was due to have a baby gave birth to her son while still paralysed.
Nurse Kate Weaver was out shopping when she realised she was having a stroke.
She managed to tell her husband: We need to go to hospital. Its not the baby, Im really ill moments before losing her ability to speak and move.
