A mother from Liverpool is praising staff at the city's Women's Hospital after her baby was born at just 23 weeks and weighing only 1lb 8oz.

Lucas Georgiou was born in April to mum Tracy, who developed the rare condition placenta abrupta which causes the placenta to come away from the womb, causing life threatening haemorrhage and shock.

The condition is so rare it happens to less than 1% of pregnant women.
