A premature baby boy who was born 13 weeks early and was put in a Tesco sandwich bag immediately after birth is now “thriving” thanks to doctors.
Baby Blake was born 13 weeks early when his mother, Lauren, was only 15 years old. Lauren’s water broke when she was five months pregnant, and she remained in slow labour for a further month afterwards.
During a check-up, doctors were unable to find baby Blake’s heartbeat; the umbilical cord had become caught, and circulation had been cut off. Lauren then had to have an emergency caesarean section.
