A mother's love, a terrible scare and the 3lb baby who beat all the odds

A tiny baby born weighing just 3lbs is finally living at home with his parents after spending months in intensive care. Rebecca Ingram gave birth more than two months prematurely after admitting herself to Wythenshawe Hospital in September last year.

Rebecca, from Chorlton, became concerned after she couldn’t feel her baby moving as usual. The 32-year-old was hooked up to a monitor which showed its heartrate fluctuating at an alarming rate.

A midwife pushed the emergency alarm and Rebecca, who works as a solicitor, was admitted to the ward overnight. After monitoring her closely, it was decided Rebecca would give birth via an emergency C-section.
