British kidney failure gives birth to a "baby miracle"

LONDON (Reuters) – A Briton with kidney failure managed to have a healthy baby during an event called "miracle" after learning that she could not become pregnant.

Eli Pierce Oliver, 28, of Sturbridge, West Midland, had been forced to perform dialysis sessions three hours a day, six days a week.

A spokesman for Dudley, a UK healthcare organization, said only 7% of dialysis women were able to conceive.

The spokesman added that this birth was the first patient to be treated in the institution's kidney treatment unit in more than twenty years.

Eli gave birth to her baby, Niki, by caesarean section at Russell Hall Hospital in Dudley, West Midland.

The new mother, who is suffering from an autoimmune disease called "Sugarrin syndrome" and had a kidney transplant, said that she was "in shock" when she discovered her pregnancy.

"I do not think I really believed it until I was in the middle of my pregnancy."

Dan Taylor's father stated that he was "very happy". "We were worried at first, but thanks to the help we received, our little princess arrived safely and in good health."

Their baby "miracle" was born on August 2nd and weighed 2,155 kg.

Throughout her pregnancy, Elie Pierce Oliver underwent twice as many dialysis sessions as she normally did, on the advice of specialists at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.

The kidney service staff of Russell & # 39; s Hall held a "Baby Shower" evening to celebrate the newborn.

"It was five months of anxiety without sleep, because we were all desperate for everything to go well," said nurse Bobby Bedford of the dialysis unit.

The Kidney Disease Society of the United Kingdom congratulated the family, noting that what happened to them was really rare.

"The level of care and treatment provided by the UK health service to make Nikki's birth possible will make a difference in the family's life," said Fiona Laud, director of charity policies.
