‘I was filled with fear as my baby was born with a rugby ball-shaped head’
A woman has shared her concerning ordeal after her baby was born with a head that looked like a “rugby ball” – and is now on a mission to raise awareness.
When Jessica Corner fell pregnant with her second child, she was overjoyed – but as she gave birth, the mum was left feeling sick to her stomach in fear.

“My gut feeling was telling me that something was amiss and the shape of his head – elongated at the back and pointed – really bothered me.
“It was agonising for us as parents to go through, as we wanted our little baby to be OK.
“When his condition kept getting worse and he was crying for hours on end due to the pain, as well as being unable to sit up unaided, crawl or walk, I couldn’t take it anymore.
“My emotions were all over the place and all I wanted was an answer.”
Jessica and her fiancé, James, 44, claim that nothing unusual was picked up during their routine scans, but were advised to have an emergency c-section at only 36 weeks due to the placenta not working properly.
Initially, due to the premature birth, she was told to massage her babyâ
