Maria Harris, 29, from Portsmouth, was rushed to hospital after her waters broke after just 32 weeks in November 2014.
Baby Jack was born 22 minutes after she arrived at the maternity ward (pictured left together) - preventing doctors from administering steroids to help him breathe. He spent five weeks in an incubator to help him develop (inset) - as he weighed just 4lbs 1oz upon arrival. Mrs Harris stayed with him for the first three days but then had to leave without him - causing her to feel 'deprived' of her own child. Jack was then discharged from hospital at Christmas. He has not suffered any long-term damage (pictured right earlier this year) but the family say they are scared of having a second child.
