A baby born weighing less than a loaf of bread has finally been allowed home after spending months in hospital fighting for her life.
Lauren Ormston, 27, gave birth at just 23 weeks after going into premature labour at St Peter's Hospital in Surrey on March 4, 2022. Doctors gave baby Isla just a 10 per cent chance of survival as she was so small, weighing just 535g.
Lauren and her fiancé Oliver Dewey, 31, had only just been reassured at a 20-week scan that ''everything was fine''. After realising that severe stomach cramps could be labour, first-time mum, Lauren, Health-Care facilitator, was induced at 7:20pm and gave birth in two hours with only gas and air at 9:17pm.
