A sandwich bag has saved a UK baby girl’s life after she was born three months early.
Twenty-nine-year-old Rhiannon Shades was terrified when she went into labour at 24 weeks pregnant.
After her baby, Emily, was born naturally still in her amniotic sac she placed into a sandwich bag to keep her warm and safe.

Emily was just 560 grams when she was born.
