In yet another case of medical misdiagnosis, Ciaran Rodgers, now three, was not supposed to have been born. Why, or how, one might ask.

That is because during a 20 week scan, Gemma Rodgers, from Cumbernauld, was told by doctors that her unborn child had Spina bifida, a condition that meant that he would never walk, or even be able to use the toilet by himself. The doctors advised her to have an abortion.

But Rodgers, who "always wanted to be a mum," could not accept this. "When we were told our baby would have no life at all, we were heartbroken. I knew from the moment I was told he would be disabled that I didn't want to give up hope on my son," said Rodgers, according to The Christian Institute.

Ciaran was born through a Cesarean section, and weighed 5 lbs 3 ozs, at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Doctors performed tests on the new born for three days and said that he would need a shunt fitted to his brain and his medical notes show that the doctors opined that he had the severest form of Spina Bifida.

But miraculously Ciaran has grown to be a happy, healthy child. Today at three years, he displays none of the disabilities he was supposed to be afflicted with. In fact, he started walking at 15 months and is potty trained.

"He is a real miracle and I am furious at the doctors who told me to get rid of him. I would very much like an apology from the hospital. I could have terminated my pregnancy because of their warnings and I don't see how they could have got it so wrong. The moment I saw Ciaran walk was the best day of my life, it was amazing. Now as he gets older, I see he is just like any other child. He is a real miracle, said Rodgers, according to Breitbart News.

"I know doctors have a job to do, but they should be absolutely certain before telling someone to terminate a pregnancy," said Rodgers, according to Sun and Shield.

 "Our staff have a duty to discuss with the pregnant woman all of the available options which would include the offer of a termination. However, no pregnant woman would be pressured into making the decision to terminate a pregnancy," said a spokesperson for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, who runs the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, denying that Gemma Rodgers was advised to abort, reports the Daily Mail.
