Jenna Lauder, 36, said at first she was scared to hold tiny tot Hope who was born 15 weeks premature and weighed just 2.1lbs.
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. On Friday , the family were told the devastating news that Hope has also suffered a stroke. The family hope three-week-old Hope can be moved via a fixed wing aircraft from Blackpool to the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow, once a bed becomes available. In the meantime, they have pledged to stay by her bedside in Preston until she is able to return to Scotland.
