Doctors in the U.S. were able to isolate the cells in a laboratory where they ‘spontaneously generated’ eggs which they say are capable of being fertilised.

The findings go on to say that it is not necessary to deliver the baby early or delay treatment. Women are instead advised to aim to have a normal length pregnancy, because in most cases the cancer can still be treated with both chemo and surgery. Terminating the pregnancy does not appear to improve a woman's chance of surviving the disease, it added.

Reserchers have warned that pregnant women with diabetes are almost four times more likely to have a baby with a birth defect than women without the condition.
