It kind of started really, I noticed when I was out with both of my brothers that I was really breathless and they actually needed to kind of carry me back to the train station.

Just assumed that I had a winter bug, nothing really serious.

Went to the local A&E who diagnosed me with pneumonia and thought really that would be the end of it.

Before they could do a X-ray on my lungs, they did ask me to do a pregnancy test, which to my shock came back that I was pregnant.

I was three weeks pregnant at the time, so the emotions were all over the place anyway.

And then from that point, they did do an X-ray and saw the extensive damage that was on my lungs.

This then meant that we needed specialists involved to understand what was going on and what are the next steps.

I was then put on to surgery.

quite high oxygen.

This was enabling me to go home.

So the plan was stay on the oxygen until baby was born.

And then from that, we'll then be able to do more tests to figure out what was going on.

A lot of the tests that they needed to do would be quite harmful to myself and also my baby.

So they were really cautious of what they were going to test for before she was born.

I did start to deteriorate quite quickly.

I was moved to a specialist transplant centre, which is in the south of England.

This is where my sister was also based.

She also had a heart and lung transplant when she was 10.

So she had been there as well.

But they moved me there to try and help the pregnancy as much as we can.
