PIC BY HARVEY HOOK – HOTSPOT MEDIA – ICE ICE BABY ‘STILLBORN’ FOR 25 MINS SURVIVES – IN PIC – Rachel Claxton and daughter Ella.
A stillborn baby which bled to death in the womb was miraculously revived after a staggering 25 MINUTES.
When Rachel Claxton gave birth to daughter Ella, she was only 3cm dilated and her placenta had ruptured causing her newborn to die in the moments before she was born.
Doctors battled for nearly an hour to bring the tiny tot back to life and amazingly – just as all hope was feared lost – a faint heartbeat was detected.
But little Ella, now nine months old, still faced another battle as her brain had been starved of oxygen for so long.
In a last ditch attempt to preserve her quality of life, her parents signed her up for an experimental cooling treatment.
Amazingly, once the treatment was over and Ella’s temperature was raised back to normal, scans showed no abnormalities in her brain.
Now Rachel, 32, from Peterborough, is campaigning alongside partner Jason Anderson, 33, to put the revolutionary cooling treatment which saved her baby into more hospitals around the country…. SEE HOTSPOT COPY 0121 449 7050
