Jake and Sarah Best Sarah Best was unable to receive any gas-and-air pain relief during the birth
A Warwickshire mother is one of only a handful in the world to undergo cancer treatment while pregnant and go on to have a healthy baby.
Sarah Best, 30, from Leamington Spa, gave birth to Jake after going into labour on the final day of treatment.
She had undergone chemotherapy for a type of mouth cancer after being diagnosed when four months pregnant.
The tumour was removed in a pioneering operation at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW).
According to UHCW, chemotherapy for pregnant women is incredibly rare and Jake is thought to be the first baby to be born in the UK after such treatment, and one of only eight in the world.
