A little girl was diagnosed with rare bone marrow failure after medics put her symptoms down to constipation and mum's "anxiety" as a first-time parent.

Amy Dixon, 32, gave birth to Freya, now four, in December 2020, and "instantly knew" something wasn't right.

She was "constantly" crying or "lethargic" and at four weeks old, Amy noticed she looked "pale as a ghost".

Taking her to the GP multiple times a week, medics put her symptoms down to constipation and Amy's "first-time mum anxiety", she claims.
