Now, seven months after his birth, Danny is a healthy and happy little boy and the apple of his mother's eye.

"When I look at him now, I really can't believe it. He shouldn't be here but he is, and he's a joy to look at every day," Lisa told the Newcastle Chronicle.

The first sign that the pregnancy would not go smoothly came when doctors discovered that Danny's amniotic sac was not attached to the wall of her womb. They later found a blood clot.

"I was losing a lot of blood and they were really worried for me. I was in hospital for three months because I was bleeding so much, and every day I was being told the baby wasn't going to survive."

But despite the advice to abort, Lisa said, "something in my head told me to keep him. Somehow I was always sure he was going to be ok. Somehow I just always had the feeling he would make it."

Lisa was in her 33rd week of pregnancy and Danny weighed 4lbs, 4oz at birth.

After his birth Danny immediately needed help to breathe and soon developed necrotizing enterocolitis, a post-natal bowel infection that affects premature babies and can lead to death.

"He was so ill he had to be resuscitated and then had blood transfusions," Lisa said. Following intensive care and surgery at SCBU Danny slowly began to recover and grow.
