This is truly a miracle as baby Mollie Perrin has
wowed doctors with a remarkable recovery after she was born three months before
her scheduled due date. Pictured above is the touching moment when her mum Stephanie, 34, and
dad James, 38 cuddled her for the first time after her birth. She was so small
her dad's wedding ring slipped easily onto her arm.
Gorgeous Mollie was born thirteen weeks premature at Hull
East Yorkshire Women and Children's hospital in April and was given just three
weeks to live. Doctors told her devastated parents not to expect their daughter
to survive after she was diagnosed with a placental disorder before birth.
But amazingly, Mollie managed to pull through and at 25 days old, her proud
parents are finally preparing to take her home for the very first time.
James said:
"I can't believe the moment has finally come for
us to take Mollie home. After weeks of watching parents come and go with
their own babies, it's finally going to be time to take our little one home.
The joy and relief we feel is just amazing, we can't wait to be able to finally
be a family, it's so incredibly special to be able to say we can take Mollie
home.
At our first scan, the doctors told us we can only expect to
have her for three weeks. When they told us, we both just broke down. There
were so many questions we had to ask. It has been horrific, but the people have
really looked after us we are like a family now.
We were told Mollie was diagnosed with Intrauterine Growth
Restriction (IUGR), which is a placental disorder. The placenta didn't work
properly and in tandem with that, there was umbilical cord restriction,
restricting the growth of the baby, because she wasn't getting the nutrients
she needed. Mollie just wasn't getting fed properly. Every week she fell behind
in size.
It will be such a relief to take her home.''
Mollie was delivered by an emergency Caesarean section on
April 27, after her mother had been in hospital for two weeks under
observation.
