A Durham mother developed post-natal depression when her son was born unexpectedly at 36 weeks.
Everything was going according to plan before pregnant Emily Kelly went for a routine growth scan at 36 weeks in May last year, as baby Patrick seemed a little bit small. However, he was found to have intrauterine growth restrictions, and before she could even process it, Emily was wheeled off for an emergency caesarean section.
Emily and her husband Sean were then in hospital for two weeks with Patrick, as nurses tried to increase his extremely low blood sugar levels, on account of his 4lb 14oz birth weight. Eventually, the levels corrected themselves and the family could go home.
