As they enter the labour ward, Emma and Jamie have no idea that their unborn baby is critically ill. Expecting soon to be cuddling their longed-for first child, the couple instead find themselves in the middle of a grave medical emergency. They watch their daughter try, and fail, to take a first breath, witness her being resuscitated, sit beside her as she fights for her life in intensive care, listen to doctors telling them she'll probably die and even begin planning her funeral. In Their Hands is the gripping and intensely moving true story of the battle to save Sophie's life. It is full of love and hope and celebrates the gift of life as well as the touching kindness of strangers. The Birth Trauma Association: 'In Their Hands is an immensely moving account of one baby's traumatic birth followed by her time in intensive care. When Sophie was born, the chances of her surviving seemed low, and this book tells the story of how expert care by NHS nurses and doctors helped her win the battle to stay alive. 'Emma Innes does a wonderful job of conveying the emotional intensity of the experience as she and her husband Jamie veer between fearing that Sophie will die and hoping that she will live. The whole book is both a tribute to the achievements of modern medicine and a testament to a mother and father's overwhelming love for their child.'
