Miracle weighed just 351 grams at birth, earning recognition as Queensland’s smallest baby and Australia’s youngest surviving preterm infant.

She was born March 20 at RBWH, measuring 30.5 centimeters, marking her as Australia’s most premature survivor to date.

Parents spent weeks visiting and finally held Miracle for the first time after four weeks, while their older children were cared for elsewhere during treatment.

A multidisciplinary neonatal team oversaw Miracle’s care, with 14 weeks in RBWH’s intensive care before transfer to Logan Hospital’s special care nursery.

Miracle Tanavasa was born extremely premature at 21 weeks and 3 days at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in March, a gestation often not met with resuscitation and survival risks.

Her parents, Misi and Annrose, expressed deep gratitude to the medical team for the care Miracle received during her hospitalization.

Miracle spent 14 weeks in intensive care before being well enough to go home this month.

Annrose learned she was pregnant only five days before birth, after a late ultrasound suggested 22 weeks due to a weight-loss struggle during a gym challenge.

Medical staff have struggled to fully explain how Miracle survived given the extreme prematurity and tiny size.

Initial pregnancy ultrasound suggested 22 weeks, a surprising early reveal after an earlier December miscarriage implying a possible twin.

Miracle was discharged in early August, around 40 weeks gestation, nearly four months after birth, celebrated by nurses and staff as a remarkable survival case.

Doctors initially doubted survival, with the newborn described as palm-sized and too small to hold.
