A baby born at just 23 weeks of pregnancy has defied the odds and is now heading home with her family after just four months in the hospital. And she’s only alive today thanks to the doctors and midwives who were willing to give her a chance at life.<\/p>\n

When little Bonnie Morgans was born, few people thought she would survive. Her mom, Rachel, explained to Cornwall Live<\/a> that she had a difficult pregnancy, miscarrying Bonnie’s twin at an earlier stage. When Rachel went into premature labor with Bonnie, there wasn’t much hope that her little girl would make it.<\/p>\n

“In Leighton Hospital, the cut off is 24 weeks, so Bonnie would have been classed as a late miscarriage, but the doctors that were on that day, and the midwife, who Bonnie gets her middle name from, decided they would give Bonnie a chance, if she showed a sign of life, they would give her a chance,” she explained.\u00a0“Bonnie came out and cried. Because she cried they said she showed a fight for life, so they did and pushed for her and she’s here today.”<\/p>\n
