A mother was left with an agonising decision to make after being advised to abort two of her triplets in order to protect the third.

Elizabeth Brewer fell pregnant with Oriana, Dallon and Deacon but at just 13 weeks was offered a selective reduction.

Mrs Brewer and husband, Timo, were originally expecting twins, but later scans revealed the 41-year-old was carrying triplets, a pair of identical twins, and a third, separate embryo... Doctors at Kings College Hospital in London said there was a high risk the single baby could have Downs Syndrome and if the couple were to abort the twins it would give it a better chance of full health.

...the couple, of, Delves Avenue, took all three babies to full term and the babies were born healthy at 36 weeks and have just celebrated their first birthday alongside brothers Drew, seven, and Devon, five.
