A 31-year-old woman with a rare form of Alzheimer's disease doesn't recognize her own newborn daughter and has been unable to even hold the baby, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
Rebecca Doig, who lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband Scott, gave birth to baby Emily last week. But during her pregnancy, her Alzheimer's worsened so quickly that she now doesn't know who the baby is and needs 24-hour care herself, the newspaper reported.

"The couple first realized something was wrong when Rebecca Doig started to forget where she put her purse and other belongings and isolated herself from her family and friends. She underwent tests to determine what was causing her memory loss.
During her medical examinations, the Doigs found out she was pregnant. Sadly, days later, she was diagnosed with a type of early-onset dementia called Familial Alzheimer's, the Mail reported."
