«Breaking News» Baby born 13 weeks premature and weighing just 1lb 8oz is set to celebrate Christmas

A couple are looking forward to celebrating their first Christmas with their 'miracle' baby who was born so small he fit in the palm of his mother's hand.


Lucy Knight, 29, went into labour on July 12 - 13 weeks before her October 12 due date - with her boyfriend Dean Glover, 27, being forced to deliver their son Eli on their bathroom floor. 


Eli, who weighed just 1lbs 8oz (846g), nearly died several times after he suffered two brain bleeds in the first two weeks of his life.


Despite pulling through, doctors warned Eli, of Ilminster, Somerset, would be permanently brain damaged and wheelchair bound for the rest of his life. 


But the brain bleeds got reabsorbed without treatment, with medics believing the now five-month-old will live a normal, healthy life.

BABIES ARE 'VIABLE' IF BORN AFTER 24 WEEKS



Around eight per cent of babies are born prematurely, which is considered to be when they are born before the 37th week of a pregnancy.


The standard expected length of a pregnancy is 40 weeks. 


The NHS considers babies to be 'viable' at 24 weeks or later into the pregnancy – this means it's possible for them to survive being born from this point onwards.


Babies can still legally be aborted in the UK until the 24th week of pregnancy. 


Babies born very early will need intensive care in a specialist neonatal hospital unit.


They may have serious health problems – particularly affecting the lungs and brain – because they haven't had time to develop properly in the womb.

Speaking of the birth, Ms Knight said: 'I didn't know I was in labour at first. 


'I went to hospital the day before and had stomach pains but I thought I was having a stomach bug. But the following morning I went to the loo and felt his head move.


'I was petrified. I kept saying it was too early, I couldn't look, I thought he was going to be born dead. Remarkably though, he was born crying.'


Paramedics arrived shortly after and rushed Eli to hospital. Doctors quickly warned the new parents their son may not make it.


After defying the odds to survive, medics then discovered he was bleeding in two parts of the brain and would inevitably have severe damage. 


'Eli was tiny, he could fit in your hand he was so small,' Ms Knight, a full-time mother, said. 'He didn't look real.'


'For the first two weeks of his life we thought he was going to die. There were four or five times where we thought he wasn't going to make it.'


But Eli's body reabsorbed the brain bleeds without the youngster requiring treatment.   


He then underwent two lumbar punctures, which involves inserting a hollow needle between the bones of the spinal cord to collect fluid, which confirmed he was no longer bleeding.  





Eli's sudden arrival meant he was born in his parent's bathroom before being rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed with two brain bleeds within the first two weeks of his life. He is pictured in hospital as a newborn

Miraculously, doctors told Eli's parents he had no apparent brain damage and, after 11 weeks in hospital, the youngster was finally able to go home in October.


'He's nothing short of a miracle,' Ms Knight said. 'Eli will be five months old this Christmas and it's going to be magical to have him at home this year.' 


Mr Glover added: 'It means everything to us to have Eli home for Christmas. We weren't sure if he was going to be here and it'll be amazing that he's here with his family and not in hospital.


'It's going to be the best Christmas ever. Christmas is always special, but this year will be even more so after what happened.'  


The couple are sharing their story to give hope to other parents in similar situations.  


'Last Christmas it was just Dean and I, and now there's three of us, it's mad,' Ms Knight said.


'We said last New Year's Eve "I wonder what we'll be doing this time next year", but we never imagined we'd have a baby just a few months later.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
