Mum Who Refused An Abortion Gives Birth To Baby Missing A Pair Of Very Important Body Parts

A mum whose baby girl was born with no eyes is determined to give her a normal childhood, the Mirror Online reports.

According to the media, Danielle Davis, 24, refused a termination when a routine scan showed her baby Daisy had a cyst on the brain. When the girl was born doctors confirmed she had anophthalmia, a birth defect which affects just one in 10,000 babies.

The disability is triggered when the tissue which makes up a child’s eyes fails to form in the womb, leaving empty sockets.

Care worker Danielle, who is raising Daisy with her partner Andrew Smith, 31, said: “It was a shock – we had never heard of it before. But she is our gorgeous baby and we have no regrets about turning down a termination. We want to give Daisy as normal a life as possible and give her the same opportunities as other children.”
