Little Hope, who was born 15 weeks premature and weighed just 2.1lbs, now faces months in hospital
A doting mum has finally been able to enjoy her first proper cuddle with her tiny daughter who arrived at just 25 weeks while she was on her 'babymoon.'
Mum Jenna said: "Holding hope for her first cuddle, it was scary because of all the intensive care equipment and how small Hope was. But as soon as she was on my chest it was the best feeling in the world and I wished that I could hold her forever." However just three days into their break in the seaside town, Jenna suddenly went into labour and Hope Roslyn Tracey Lauder was born at 6pm on July 2. The family now thinks the bleed was the beginning stages of labour.
When the tiny tot weighing just 2.1lbs was born, a brain scan showed a stage two bleed on her brain which has now progressed to stage four - the most severe.Jenna said: "It is too soon to say what the impact this may have on Hope. She has a number of other difficulties, the type which face many premature babies, but she is responding well to treatment.
They have set up a GoFundMe to ease their financial burden as Gary is having to take time off as an owner of a construction company as well as having to stay away from home for months. It has so far exceeded their target of £5,000 with more than £6,235 raised.
