A young Scottish mum says her stroke symptoms were missed by a GP who sent her home with antibiotics for a urine infection.Rosemary Kelly was 28 weeks pregnant with her daughter when she reported to her GP that she had an extreme headache, weakness down her left side, and felt fluid moving inside her head.

The 26-year-old was given antibiotics for a presumed urine infection and sent home to rest, reports Glasgow Live. Luckily the mum-of-two, from the city's Scotstounhill area, stayed at her mother-in-law's - where she was discovered taking a seizure later that evening and rushed to hospital.

Doctors discovered she had a brain arteriovenous malformation (a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain) which had ruptured.It was later discovered that Rosemary had actually suffered a stroke earlier in the day that hadn't been picked up on by her GP.

Just weeks later she had to deliver her daughter via C-section to relieve pressure on her brain and has since undergone an operation at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital to improve her outlook.
