She hadn’t had her vaccines up to that point. The emergency C-section was performed in August, but Miley the baby wasn’t able for birth until Miley got better.

Paige had to give birth at 27 weeks to Miley. Miley, a premature 13-week-old baby, spent nine weeks in the NICU
Miley was born on August 27 – two months before her due date of November 21 – weighing the same as a carton of milk at 2lb 5oz.
But she’s managed to come home just in time for Christmas with her miracle baby – who is now 16-weeks – who also spent nine weeks in the neonatal ICU.
Now, she believes that everyone should do their research and decide if they want to get the vaccine.
I have no clue how the virus got into my body, but it suddenly gave me a runny nose with flu-like symptoms.

Paige now lives at home with Miley her miracle Miley who is three months old. Now, she believes everybody should “do their research” and take the decision to receive the vaccine.

Little Miley spent nine weeks in hospital after her mum fell pregnant while in hospital

Two months before her due date, Miley was 2lbs (about the weight of one bottle of milk) when she was born.

Paige accepted an emergency C-section following five days of ICU. Miley has now returned to a happy, healthy state.
After five days of being breathless I called 911 to summon an ambulance. It was getting worse and my oxygen levels were low.
“Within two days I was admitted to intensive care, and doctors started to wonder what they should do with my baby.
Miley sucking in all the oxygen and taking the nutrients, so I wasn’t getting any improvement with the c-pap.
“The doctor advised me to stop having my child if I don’t get it delivered.”

Changes in the body during pregnancy could lead to an increase risk of getting very sick with respiratory viruses, such as Covid-19. Paige is pictured pregnant

Paige was moved by the hospital staff’s care after the trauma.

Mason Taylor, 25, Miley’s partner (pictured together), was there by her side as she was being treated in critical care. She admitted that he printed pictures of Miley for the first mother, but they might not bond.
“I hesitated at first, and was more concerned about my unborn child than me. But I couldn’t help but feel that there wasn’t any other choice.

The body changes during pregnancy can make it more difficult to contract respiratory viruses such as the one that causes Covid-19.
Although it’s very rare for pregnant women to become seriously ill if they get Covid-19, the NHS advises if it does happen there’s a small chance the baby may be born early or they may be advised to give birth earlier than their due date.
“I was scared for her in the event of something terrible happening to me.”
“I had to go to bed for my C-section, so for the next week I did not see or meet her. After her birth, I was placed on a ventilator and had to wait for my recovery from the virus.
It was “the worst thing that ever happened.”
Mason Taylor (25 year old) was Miley’s partner. He was there for Miley, who was still in critical care. Although he took pictures, she fears they will not bond.
“I was afraid that we wouldn’t bond. It was a good thing that we were able bond right away.
“My heart was full of joy from the first time I held her. It was awful and all she needed was machines.
Miley, who had sticky lungs, was placed on a ventilator at birth.
Two blood transfusions were performed on her during the nine-week period at Birmingham’s Heartlands and Good Hope hospitals.
Paige says, “I am blessed that Miley is still here.” Because she was so tiny and fragile, we were frightened a few of her times.
“She was suffering from breathing difficulties, but she wanted to improve her condition.”
When she was born, ‘Miley was as big as a coke container.
“She is tiny at 6lb 10oz, but is making great progress.
“She has tiny baby clothes, so there’s a possibility she will develop slowly. However she is here now and that is what matters most.
«Mason and me are thrilled for our first Christmas as three.»
Paige, who had just survived a terrible experience, praised the staff of the hospitals’ care.
Miley couldn’t have been here without all the ICU and neonatal staff.
“I think that everyone should fully research the vaccine and make their own decision.
“But, I encourage pregnant women be more cautious and to shield as much as they can.”
