Mum gives birth at just 23 weeks and has one of the smallest babies ever born in UK weighing 350g

Jessy Williams, 31, had twins Sky and Ezra at the Royal Berkshire Hospital at just 23-and-a-half weeks pregnant. Ezra weighed 1lb 7oz (660g) but he sadly only survived for one day.

His sister Sky weighed just a tiny 12oz (350g) - one of the smallest ever to have survived in the UK. She was born on April 27 last year and after five months of treatment was able to go home weighing 2lb 8oz (1.6kg).

Jessy, from Bracknell, Berkshire, has now thanked doctors. She said: "I thought I was going to lose Sky because of how small she was, so when we lost Ezra, I already began to prepare for the worst, but the team of doctors and nurses that surrounded us were very supportive. They made me feel like Sky was the only patient there, even though you could see other babies and their parents.

"Their interactions with me were very personal and informative. All the nurses and doctors were amazing, open and honest, involving us in every detail of Sky’s care.The whole team were on the same page, and they made sure they communicated with us in simple terms we could understand. It was very helpful to be able to trust the professionals who were providing Sky with the excellent care she needed."
