Meet My One In A Billion Baby

One of Australia’s top obstetricians has never seen a luckier baby than little Brigid

- 

Beautiful Brigid Midgley would not be alive today if it wasn’t for what doctors are calling a miracle birth after she and the placenta moved out of her mum’s womb and into her abdomen at 36 weeks.

“She was dying,” confirms John Newnham, who is a professor of obstetrics at the University of Western Australia.

“The baby and the placenta had delivered into the space that the bowel normally occupies. She was outside of the womb, and when a baby loses connection to its mother it has about four minutes to survive.
