(Right to Life UK) — 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 only five months pregnant, and she remained in a 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 cesarean section birth.
Blake was successfully delivered, and doctors immediately put the premature baby into a Tesco-branded sandwich bag. Techniques like this are often used when babies are born prematurely or at a very low weight to help regulate their temperatures and keep them warm enough.
“Blake was taken straight to intensive care, so I didn’t get to see him before he was taken down. My mum saw him in the bag and told me about it, but I didn’t believe her until I saw it for myself”, Lauren said.
