NATIONAL NEWS - Miracle baby, Carla De Coning will sleep in her own cot today (Thursday, 11 August) at her Athlone Park home, after spending 116 days in the neo-natal ICU unit at Kingsway Hospital.
“I had a perfectly normal pregnancy. On the day of Carla’s birth, which was at 25 weeks, I was planning to go to hospital to book my bed. In the morning, after I dropped off my son at school, I realised my water broke and so I drove straight to hospital,” said Ansie.
After a check-up, she was told she was 4cm dilated and that all her amniotic fluid had leaked. Ansie had no indication that anything was wrong prior to her rush to the hospital. “On Saturday, I was at the mall, everything was okay. I had a bit of backache, but no contractions. The only time I crunched forward in pain was on the Monday, when I got to the hospital.”
