A Mum described her baby son’s survival as a miracle.

When Chloe Gibbs went into early labour in March 2018, she had no idea what challenges she and her baby Hunter would endure.

When she was 24 weeks pregnant, the Hertfordshire mother was transported to University College London Hospitals (UCLH).

And when Hunter was delivered, he weighed only 750 grammes, less than a bag of sugar, prompting doctors to hurry him to special care.

Chloe was only able to see him after six hours in the neonatal intensive care unit, but the challenges did not end there.

Hunter stayed at UCLH for one semester.

Hunter was rushed to the hospital for a procedure where physicians helped pump fluids around his body because he couldn’t feed himself.

Before being moved to Watford General Hospital, the tot was subjected to 15 blood transfusions and numerous other tests in addition to combating infections.

Michele De Groot, Chloe’s mother, was present throughout the birth and has remained so ever since.

“I was there with ten neonatal specialists in this small space, it was quite scary,” Michele told HertsLive. They kept track of time to see how long it took to get him from each part of the room. The minute he was born, they began counting down from 15 seconds. They had him restrained, and then the door opened.
