A WOMAN who was told she may never have children has thanked the NHS ‘angels’ who have cared for her premature baby who was born ten weeks early. Rosie McNamara, from Burneside, has struggled with bowel issues since she was a baby and has undergone 25 surgeries, including an ileostomy operation in 2009 when she was told she may never have children. However, in 2013, the stay-at-home mum and her husband, Ryan, welcomed Isla. They also have 20-month-old Locryn and now baby Esme, who gave them a ‘huge scare’ when she arrived on April 12 at just 30 weeks gestation. Mrs McNamara was supposed to have an elected Caesarean section at 37 weeks due to her medical condition, but when her waters broke in April, she was taken to theatre at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary for an emergency procedure.
