'Miracle' baby back home

This is the incredible story of a mother and her newborn son who both cheated death.

Tracy Georgiou went into labour early after suffering a serious complication and was rushed straight into intensive care unaware she had given birth to a baby boy.

Tracy and her new son Lucas - who weighed lighter than a bag of sugar were given less than a 25 per cent chance of survival.

Now after 105 days in hospital the mother and son have beaten the odds and are back home in Liverpool.

Mel Barham reports.

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.
