Carrie had two premature babies. She talks about the impact it had on her mental health.

Carrie's first daughter was born at 32 weeks weighing just 4lbs 10. Her second baby was delivered at 29 weeks weighing 3lbs.

This week Natalie and Amanda meet Carrie and Joel from Hull. The couple have used their experience of having premature babies to set up a business called Miniature Miracles for people who need small clothes. It is also a support line for people who have gone through the same experience. 

"I was laid in a room with six other babies crying and my child was upstairs in intensive care with a big wire hanging out of her throat. I'd not seen her and didn't know what she looked like."

"She (Carrie) had to sign paperwork which said if Indie didn't make it, we were happy that it wasn't anybody's fault."
