Baby born 11 weeks early 'wouldn't be here' but for 'incredible' hospital

A baby born at 29-weeks "would not be here today" if it wasn't for the "incredible" staff at a Liverpool hospital.

Nicola Durant was at home when she suffered a placental abruption, meaning the placenta separated from the wall of her uterus before birth. After calling her husband Peter in a "panic", they rushed to the Liverpool Women's Hospital as Noah "spontaneously turned up".

Peter said it was a "torturous birth" back in May 2021 as the couple were panicking due to him being so early. However, thanks to the quick-thinking staff and everyone involved at the hospital, Noah was born "in good health" before being placed in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) for six weeks.
