WHAT IS A PREMATURE BIRTH, AND WHAT ARE THE RISKS TO BABIES?
Around 10 per cent of all pregnancies worldwide result in premature labour - defined as a delivery before 37 weeks.
When this happens, not all of the baby's organs, including the heart and lungs, will have developed. They can also be underweight and smaller.
Tommy's, a charity in the UK, says this can mean preemies 'are not ready for life outside the womb'.
Premature birth is the largest cause of neonatal mortality in the US and the UK, according to figures.
Babies born early account for around 1,500 deaths each year in the UK. In the US, premature birth and its complications account for 17 per cent of infant deaths.
Babies born prematurely are often whisked away to neonatal intensive care units, where they are looked after around-the-clock.
What are the chances of survival?
- Less than 22 weeks is close to zero chance of survival
- 22 weeks is around 10%
- 24 weeks is around 60%
- 27 weeks is around 89%
- 31 weeks is around 95%
- 34 weeks is equivalent to a baby born at full term
'I’m sooo sorry for your loss. She’s such an angel thinking of u... Rest in peace she will be watching over u everyday xx... I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling. Life can be so cruel... My heart is broken for u'.
Malin has been a staunch campaigner for mental health awareness and uses her Twitter account to discuss grief and urge others to do the same.
In June last year, Malin's Love Island co-star Sophie Gradon was found dead in her home, after which then-pregnant Malin took to Twitter to honour her while also discussing mental health awareness and the post-show assistance given to stars.
Following the announcement of Sophie's death, social media was swarmed with messages raising awareness for mental health issues - leading to Malin's observation about the impact of appearing on a reality show.

Following the news, a spokesman for ITV said: 'The whole ITV2 and Love Island team are profoundly saddened to hear the news about Sophie, and our deepest sympathies and thoughts go to her family and friends.'
After remaining relatively removed from the spotlight, Sophie candidly discussed her mental health issues in September 2017, when she told her Twitter followers: 'Hi guys, no not dead just battling a little bit of depression. I'll come back I promise x'.
After her death, Malin voiced concern over the aftercare provided to the stars of the show as she mentioned the impact of reality TV on mental health.
In the midst of a string of Twitter messages, Malin beseeched bosses to pull the latest episode from schedules, as she honoured her friend by penning: NOT ENOUGH AFTERCARE TONIGHT SHOULD NOT AIR'.
