A little baby girl born one day before the abortion limit in England finally is thriving at home with her family.
Hailie Dillion, of the Isle of Wight, survived several life-threatening episodes, and now is a healthy 1 year old, according to The Sun.
The infant was born so prematurely that her parents said they could see through her skin.
Price said the hospital on the island could not provide treatment if her daughter was born prematurely, so she decided to travel to the mainland for treatment.
Here’s more from the report:
Twenty four weeks is, by law, the legal limit of viability. And guidance from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states babies born before this time pose a “major medical and ethical challenge”. They add that it’s only after 25 weeks that there is a “general agreement that active management should be offered”.
Cheri, 22, made the decision, alongside her boyfriend Timothy Dillon, 32, to go to Darlington Teeside where Timothy’s brother lives, hoping to find another hospital to stay in.
But the trip saved Hailie’s life. She was born on Feb. 23, 2017, weighing 1 pound, 2 ounces. By that point, Hailie was 23 weeks and 6 days along, just one day before the legal abortion limit in England.
The little girl battled through a collapsed lung and other ailments before she was well enough to go home.
“I’m so proud of her, what we’ve been through and what she has been through has been horrendous,” Price said.

The infant was born so prematurely that her parents said they could see through her skin.
“When Hailie was born, it sounds bad to say it, but she looked like a red alien,” said Cheri Price, her mother.Last winter, Price feared the worst when her mucus plug came out 20 weeks into her pregnancy. The mucus plug “surrounds the cervix to prevent infection during pregnancy,” the report states.

Cheri battled contractions for the 300 mile journey on February 6, which included taking a ferry to Portsmouth before a train all the way to the north east.
We thought we would lose her at so many points …” her mother said.
