A full term pregnancy lasts between 39 and 40 weeks. Sudhesna Mehra's (name changed) little one, Baby, was born in the 27th week of pregnancy and she weighed a meager 460 grams. According to sources at Surya Hospital, Santacruz, Baby is one of the lightest infants born in the city. She's also unique because a baby usually weighs between 800 and 900 gm in the 27th week. Even as the infant, born on July 5, fights for life, her parents are struggling to gather money to offer adequate medical support to their fragile bundle of joy.
