BABY GIRL BORN AT '27 WEEKS', SO TINY HER ARM WENT THROUGH HER FATHER'S WEDDING RING

At her first scan, Stephanie Perrin, 34, of Hull, was told her daughter would not live past three weeks old. A placental disorder meant Mrs Perrin's unborn baby girl was not growing properly, doctors said. Baby Mollie, now 17 weeks old (pictured left with her parents), was born 13 weeks premature by emergency Caesarean section, weighing just 1lbs 1oz. She was rushed to neonatal intensive care. It wasn't until she was 25 days old her father could James, 38, could hold her for the first time (pictured right), and she was so tiny his wedding ring fit around her arm. Mollie defied doctors to pull through, and now weighing 5lbs 10oz, her parents are preparing to take her home for the first time. 'I can't believe the moment has finally come for us to take Mollie home,' Mr Perrin said. 'After weeks of watching parents come and go with their own babies, it's finally going to be time to take our little one home.'
