Campaigners are trying to raise awareness of a little known virus called Cytomegalovirus (CMV) which can cause severe birth defects and even death in newborn babies. Around 80% of adults are estimated to carry CMV, which is spread through bodily fluids and causes few, if any, symptoms. 5 Live spoke to Amy Taylor, who gave birth to a stillborn baby after he contracted the virus from her. Amy said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 not something you ever expect to go through; giving birth to a baby that you know you鈥檙e not going to know any more than those moments when you see them, when they鈥檙e born鈥. This clip is originally from 5 Live Breakfast on Thursday 22 September 2016.
