A mum says trolls tell her she is "selfish" for having her daughter - who was born without any arms or legs.

Little Arianna Floreniani, now eight-months-old, was born with transverse limb deficiency - which means she doesn't have full arms and legs.

Parents Kiara Duprey, 24, and Javier Floreniani, 21, were told she had limb difference at the 12 week scan and said they felt "pressured" to terminate by doctors.

00:17 Hi.
00:43 My name is Kiara, and this is Ariana.
00:46 I just wanted to do a short intro about her.
00:49 So she is seven months old, and she
00:52 was born without any limbs.
00:53 Her disability is called transverse sufficiency,
01:00 which means the limbs appear to be amputated.
01:04 She has a foot on this side, as you can see right there.
01:09 She moves it.
01:10 She feels it.
01:12 But other than that, she's completely healthy.
01:16 They're not concerned about her growth or her health
01:19 or anything.
01:21 Hi.
01:21 So today, we're going to answer a couple of questions
01:24 that we were getting in the comments.
01:27 One of the main questions was, did I
01:30 know about the condition when I was pregnant?
01:33 Yes, I found out when I was about 12 weeks pregnant.
01:36 It was hard at first, but we made the choice
01:41 that if she was healthy, then we were still going
01:44 to bring her into this world.
01:47 OK?
01:48 Yeah.
