A Utah woman who unexpectedly gave birth on a cruise ship months before her due date says she wrapped towels around the one-and-a-half-pound boy and, with the help of medical staff, managed to keep him alive until the ship reached port.
Emily Morgan, of Ogden, said Thursday that doctors didn't expect her son Haiden to live, but thanks to strong lungs, a makeshift incubator and an early arrival in Puerto Rico, the baby made it. He's now receiving care at a neonatal intensive care unit in Miami.
Morgan, 28, said the baby was due in December, but contractions began 31 August 31 during a seven-day cruise around the eastern Caribbean. Her doctor approved the cruise to celebrate her daughter's third birthday, Morgan said.
