Blast survivor's baby due on 7/7

Martine Wright, who was one of the most seriously injured survivors, said she had exclaimed "Are you joking?" after hearing the baby was due on 7/7.

In an interview with the News of the World, she said: "When the doctor realised the significance of what it meant, she just blurted out, 'Oh my God'.

"I was so shocked. It's such a powerful date, it's great to think something so joyful could happen on the anniversary.

"But I worried part of me would always be a little bit sad on that day. It's a difficult time every year."

Ms Wright was the last person to be pulled alive from the carnage of the Aldgate tube blast.

The 36-year-old lost both legs above the knee and learnt to walk again using prosthetic limbs.

She and her husband Nick Wiltshire had feared they would never be able to have a baby.

"They gave me some hardcore drugs in hospital. I didn't know what effect the physical and emotional trauma of 7/7 would have on my body," she said.

Ms Wright, a former marketing manager, said at first she could not believe it when she discovered she was pregnant.
