Woman wakes from coma to discover she is three months PREGNANT - and can't remember the past three years of her life


A woman, who was involved in a horrific road accident, woke from a coma to discover that she was 12 weeks pregnant.
Last year, Gemma Holmes was riding a moped when she was flung across a busy road into a lamp post.
She suffered extensive injuries, including a broken back, and doctors didn't expect her to survive.

But she defied the odds and is now on the road to recovery - with her now 12-week-old son Ruben.

Gemma Holmes was involved in a road accident that broke her back and put her in a coma. When she woke up she was told she was 12 weeks pregnant but had not memory of who the father was
While in hospital, tests revealed that Gemma was in fact 12 weeks pregnant.
Ms Holmes was in a coma and unable to be told the news, so doctors turned to her mother, Julie, to make the decision about whether the baby should be kept or terminated.
'Doctors suggested a termination because Gemma would not be able to undergo surgery to fix her back until she gave birth.
