The size of a cell phone, Britain's smallest baby

Weighing less than a 1lb at birth, doctors warned her parents Kerry and Craig that she may not survive.

And even if Ruby did pull through, the couple were told to prepare for their daughter developing sight or brain problems.

Four months on, the baby girl has defied the odds and astounded medics with her progress.

Tests this week at Southmead Hospital in Bristol where she was born show that Ruby is in perfect health.

Now weighing 3lb 13oz, less than most babies at birth, she will be able to go home with her parents tomorrow (thurs).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
