A 3lb baby has beaten all the odds and is finally at home after being born two months prematurely and spending nine weeks in an incubator.
Rebecca Ingram, from Chorlton, admitted herself to Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester when she couldn't feel her baby moving as usual. She was hooked up to a monitor which showed baby's heartbeat fluctuating at an alarming rate. Rebecca, 32, who works as a solicitor, was immediately admitted to a ward and after close monitoring, it was decided that she would give birth there and then via an emergency C-section, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Baby Isaac was delivered successfully but had to be rushed to the intensive care unit and placed on a machine to help with his breathing. He had been born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.
