A baby amazed everyone after he was born at just 22 weeks pregnant. The child weighed only 570 grams and was smaller than his mother’s palm.
Augustin Douglas was born at the same weight as half a bag of sugar and was born 18 weeks earlier than scheduled. The doctors didn’t give him much chance of survival, but a real miracle would happen.
In England, abortions are allowed for up to 24 weeks before the baby is fully developed. His skin was so thin that his organs could be seen, and the holes in his ear were not yet formed. After weeks under the close supervision of the medical staff, the little one arrived in a stable state.
His mother, Helen, suffered severe abdominal pain and began to bleed in the middle of pregnancy. Doctors told her that her vagina was completely dilated and that they could not stop the birth.
The little boy is still in medical care, and his parents want to bring him home until July 28, the day he should have been born.
