By Liz Hull Coping with a newborn baby can be tough. So spare a thought for Claire Ormrod – who has had to do it twice in the space of just nine months. Her son and daughter were born in such quick succession that they will even be in the same class at school. But what is just as remarkable is that the babies survived at all – after 26-year-old Miss Ormrod suffered dangerous complications during  both pregnancies. Claire Ormrod (with partner Gareth) has defied medical odds to have two children in eight months. Alice (left) was born on on 6 December 2011, at 25 weeks, and Gareth (right) on September 7, 2012
