24-year-old refused to believe her son was hers after giving birth while she was in a coma

Danielle Johnson (pictured left with her son, Lucas), 24, from Manchester, went into labour five weeks early after catching pneumonia, forcing doctors to place her in an induced coma. 


Her son, Lucas (right and inset his 20-week scan), was born healthy - but when doctors tried to wake her up, she was unresponsive and remained so for three weeks. When she eventually woke up, she was convinced that she had lost her baby and the nurses were trying to kill her. She even attacked her brother after he showed her a picture of Lucas because she was so adamant he was lying and that her son had died. Because of her illness, she wasn't able to meet him until he was 24 days old and it was nearly three months before they could share a cuddle. But after initially struggling to bond with Lucas, the mother-of-two has finally developed a strong relationship with him.
