Her heartbroken family said she and her partner Kevin suffered “every parent’s worst nightmare” when they received the devastating news that their unborn child had died.

Zoey was quickly rushed into surgery but her condition rapidly deteriorated after the procedure.

She spent three days in intensive care and was recently placed into a medically induced coma as doctors battle to save her life.

To add to the agony, Zoey’s family have been hit with an eye-watering medical bill topping £100,000.

While Zoey had taken out birth plan insurance, the policy only covered emergency care involving the child – leaving her with zero cover for her own life-threatening situation.

Launching a GoFundMe appeal to cover the fees, her loved ones said: “What should have been a time of excitement and preparation for welcoming her little boy into the world has instead become an unimaginable tragedy.

“Sadly, Zoey’s ordeal did not end there. Following the loss of her baby and her C-section, her health deteriorated significantly, and she has been fighting for her life.

“Her liver and kidneys are failing, and she has suffered two episodes of internal bleeding. She has required blood transfusions and dialysis, and her condition remains extremely serious.”

Her distraught family added: “We never imagined finding ourselves in this position.

“Our family is grieving the loss of a precious little boy while desperately hoping and praying that Zoey will pull through.

“Having to worry about the cost of medical treatment on top of such an unimaginable loss is something no family should ever have to face.

“We never imagined we would have to ask for help like this, but right now, we are holding on to hope for Zoey.

“We want to give her every possible chance to recover and come home to the people who love her.

“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read Zoey’s story, for your kindness and generosity, and for keeping Zoey and our family in your thoughts and prayers during this devastating time.”

The fundraiser has raised nearly £93,000 out of a £100,000 goal, with more than 2,000 people so far chipping in to support Zoey and her grief-stricken family.
