Neonatal Unit, University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.
Halfway through her pregnancy, Marissa Woods was experiencing major problems. She was admitted to University Hospital at 22 weeks pregnant where her daughter, Georgina was born – on the toilet!
Weighing little more than a pound, the prognosis was not hopeful. “The next few weeks were touch and go,” says Marissa. Hospital staff treated a hole in Georgina’s heart and gave her laser treatment on her eyes. After 4 months, Georgina went home on oxygen. She’s now a healthy five year-old, and has been discharged from every clinic
