German doctors say a baby girl who was born at 21 weeks and five days is spending Easter at home after five months in neonatal care. She is believed to be the most premature baby in Europe to have survived.
Doctors at the Fulda Children's Clinic say Frieda was born on Nov 7, 2010, weighing just 460g. She was released from the hospital on Wednesday weighing 3.5kg. Frieda's life hung in the balance several times during her long hospitalisation.
A normal pregnancy lasts 40 weeks and a twin brother, Kilian, who was born with Frieda did not survive, the Fuldaer Zeitung newspaper reported.
