A baby was placed in a plastic bag to keep warm after he was born premature at just 25 weeks.
Pace Galbraith was delivered on March 11 at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, 101 days early from his due date weighing just 1lb 4oz. Pace's mother, Bella, was rushed to hospital on March 7 after her water broke and later transferred 72 miles away to a hospital in Bristol to undergo an emergency C-section, Hull Live reports. Doctors placed the newborn in a plastic drawstring neonatal bag just moments after he was delivered to maintain his temperature.
The baby was too frail to hold to cuddle and spent his first weeks of life in an intensive care unit at Bristol Children’s Hospital while his lungs are developing. His parents Bella and Paul, from Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, will now have to travel 150 miles to see their son, who still remains at the Bristol hospital.
