Two Pound Premature Baby Girl Arrives on Christmas Day 9 Weeks Early

Parents from Salisbury were in “absolute shock” as their baby girl was born nine weeks early on Christmas day, weighing just 2.12lb.

Charlotte Jewell and Dennis King were expecting their baby Payton to be born in late February, but Charlotte was admitted to hospital on 20 December as there were concerns that her daughter was not growing properly.

Charlotte was diagnosed with preeclampsia and she was told on Christmas Eve at a growth scan that she would need an emergency caesarean section.
