A TINY tot from Cardross has been praised for his brave actions after his pregnant mum fainted while taking him to nursery.

Lauren Gilmour was walking her two-year-old son Raigan Dunn to nursery on Thursday, February 9 when she suddenly collapsed on Main Road.

The toddler wasted no time and started looking for someone who could help his mum.

Lauren, who is 22-weeks pregnant, said: “I got to the bottom of the road and I don’t know what happened – everything just went black.

“The next thing I knew, Raigan and a man were there, and Raigan was asking if I was okay.

“I was hoping I would know who the man was because it’s a small village, but I didn’t.

“I asked what happened and the guy said Raigan came up to him and said, “my mummy, my mummy’.”

After she came back around, little Raigan asked his mum if she was okay and took the frightening incident in his stride.

The 23-year-old added: “We had been walking and it was raining, so he had his wee suit and wellies on.

“I didn’t know if he was scared, so I was trying to make him feel a bit better.

“I told him I was and he said ‘okay’ and told me he wanted to go jump in more puddles.”

Lauren continued walking Raigan to nursery and went to get checked out afterwards.

Doctors told Lauren that she had fainted due to low blood pressure, but she has been keeping well since the incident.

Looking back on Raigan’s actions, Lauren admits she was proud but shocked at her son’s heroic instincts.

She said: “There was a big puddle on the main road where I was sat on the ground.

“I don’t know what clicked in him to go find someone rather than jumping in the puddle while his mum couldn’t shout at him. I was definitely surprised that he knew to react like that.”

She also thanked the man who listen to Raigan’s plea and provided support on the day. Lauren added: “Thank you for trusting a little two-year-old.

“If it was me I would be a bit confused, but I’m just glad that he went with Raigan and was able to help him to help me.”
