Slice of Awesome

Like any thrilled mother to be, Michelle Stepney cherished the first kicks she could feel from her unborn babies.

But her lively twin girls were doing more than simply making their presence felt.

Each little kick was saving their mother’s life.

Unknown to her, Mrs. Stepney, 35, had developed cervical cancer. Her unborn twins’ constant kicking in the womb actually managed to dislodge the tumor.

It was only when Mrs. Stepney was taken to hospital with a suspected miscarriage that doctors realized she had cancer.

They told her the babies had saved her life. Without them, the cancer may not have been discovered until it was too late.
