Millie Mirfin of the UK is certainly blessed. Her pregnancy got rocky around 19 weeks, and she delivered her baby boy at just 25 weeks. The infant was so tiny, he fit into just one hand and weighed as much as a loaf of bread. Doctors didn't have high hopes for his survival or quality of life. But this miracle baby survived a brain bleed and defied all the odds, leaving doctors stunned!
“I became very ill and doctors thought I might have sepsis after my waters broke, which meant they had to induce me," she recalls.[rsnippet id="3"] But because of the condition Millie was in, doctors couldn't perform a c-section. They warned the scared mom that she was their priority.
