Rachel Lennard was told she suffered a miscarriage when she was seven weeks into her pregnancy. Heartbroken. After having to wait days for an ultrasound, she then then she found out she hadn't miscarried and was still pregnant!
Can you imagine how excited she must have been? After those few minutes where she must have been really pissed at her doctors for that misdiagnosis!?
You would think that would be enough bad news for one pregnancy, but at just 25 weeks and a little over half way through her pregnancy, Rachel's water broke when she was picking up her older son from school.
She was rushed to a hospital where just one week later baby Faith was born with serious health issues and weighing just over one pound. After spending two more months in a neonatal unit, Faith was released and allowed to go home. That means this "Miracle Baby"is coming home to celebrate Christmas with her mother and father and 3-year-old brother Calum.
If that's not enough -- after enduring all of that, Baby Faith was sent home on the day of her actual due date. I don't know about you, but reading a story like that makes me believe in miracles after all.
Congratulations to the Lennard family! I'm sure this will be a Christmas they will never forget!
Do you believe in miracles? Are you surprised that a doctor would tell a mother to prepare for the worst without a scan or an ultrasound to back it up?

I dreamt of 2 babies, a sick little newborn boy with dark hair being ignored when I asked people if they wanted to hold him. And a blonde little girl of mine at 4 months being adored by a group of women. 1 week later, a stick test at the doctors confirmed I was pregnant in February of that yar, but with bleeding, next day an ultrasound confirmed nothing. then I had my very early miscarriage in the bathroom of the ultrasound place. December of the same year that I miscarried was the month I found out I was pregnant via blood test, on christmas eve, I saw my babies heart on the ultrasound, and in the following year I got my biggest baby and she was healthy.
That's so wonderful. :) As to whether I'm surprised that the doc would tell this mom she miscarried...Nope. This seems to happen all the time! Our friends just head a baby a few months ago, and they were told about midway through that they had lost him. Thank goodness the doctor was wrong.
Telling a mom they miscarried when they didn't happens way to often, you would think Drs would know to wait and do several tests. I'm glad to hear her baby girl got to go home for Christmas.
