Sophie Byrne, from Dovecot, didn't know her son Joseph had been delivered 11 weeks premature by caesarean section until she regained consciousness days later.

When she regained consciousness, she was able to meet Joseph over Facetime a few weeks after he was born but the young mother says she was so heavily sedated, she barely remembers it. .

It wasn't until six weeks after she had given birth that she was able to hold her son Joseph for the first time. .

They let me see Joseph for the first time in mid September through FaceTime.
