Simon and Leigh-Anne Varley were married and seemed to have a normal life. They had a boy who was six years old and a daughter who was 16 years old. Leigh-Anne and her family resided in Horden, County Durham, England.

In 2015, the family began arranging a trip to Florida’s Disneyland. While Leigh-Anne’s family was making plans for their trip, they could see that her belly was getting bigger.

She denied that she was pregnant when questioned by Simon. Leigh-Anne asserted that ovarian cysts were the reason for her stomach swelling. Even a pregnancy test was dumped down the toilet.

In actuality, though, Leigh-Anne was unfaithful to her husband, and she became pregnant. She was afraid to tell her husband the truth because she thought that the baby was her lover’s.

Even worse, she couldn’t get an abortion because she had seizures and her pregnancy was too far along at the time.

Leigh-Anne kept her pregnancy a secret from everyone she knew for several months. She did research on how to have a home delivery later that day.
