First-time VA mom, born a preemie herself, welcomes own micro-preemie daughter: 'Full circle story'
Fox News
Mom Megan Baker of Richmond, Virginia, weighed 3 pounds, 9.7 ounces when she was born in 1998. Her daughter, Grace Lyn Baker, was born weighing 1 pound, 7 ounces.
"The survival right at 24 weeks, which is where Grace was, is about 50 percent." "Regardless of what happened, you still have that precious baby. You still have a life."
Staff at Pediatrix Neonatology of Virginia are calling the moment a "full-circle story of multigenerational preemie survival."
Baker arrived 10 weeks early when she was born in the 1990s — and now, her own baby Grace has arrived 15 weeks early.
