At 37 weeks pregnant, Rachel jumped from the window of her burning home to save her baby.

Rachel Standfest was three weeks away from giving birth when she woke to a fire in her home. 

The US mum, who was pregnant with her first child, had no choice but to "quickly find a way out of a two-story building". 

Rachel climbed out the window, while her partner, Travis, ran downstairs through the flames. 

"We both sustained severe burns, and I had a brain injury," Rachel later shared in a Facebook post.

After being rushed to hospital, Rachel underwent an emergency C-section. Despite her injuries and the early birth, she welcomed a "healthy" baby girl. 

But it wasn't until she and Travis gained consciousness that they were able to meet their daughter. 

Sharing a video of the moment on TikTok, Rachel said it was "a way we never expected to have met our daughter for the first time".

"[It was] a moment we’ve waited so long for, and a moment I don’t remember."

@travandrach A way we never expected to have met our daughter for the first time. A moment we’ve waited so long for, and a moment I don’t remember. We’ve had so many “firsts” we haven’t been able to do with our sweet girl, and as hard as it has been, we know that it was always Gods plan. Brynlee means “burned clearing”, and her name alone has shown us that the Lord has had his hand with us since the beginning. He alone is the ultimate healer and we will never stop giving Him the glory as we continue our healing journey. He is so faithful🙏🏼 #Godisgood #fyp #jesus #miracle #testimony #blessed #thankful #faith #elevationworship #mercyme #youngcouple #babygirl #newborn #hewouldlovefirst #likeforpart2 #youngmom #girldad ♬ Good Old Days

In the video, Rachel shared the couple chose to name their daughter Brynlee, meaning "burned clearing". 

It was a name they originally had picked out when they first learnt they were having a girl. 

"Her name alone has shown us that the Lord has had his hand with us since the beginning," she wrote.

Rachel went on to spend the next four weeks in hospital after giving birth. 

"With the amount of burns I have I didn’t think I would be able to walk for a long time," she wrote on Facebook. 

"Pushing through the pain is so tough, but so worth it knowing we can soon be out and start our new life together."

After learning how to walk without assistance, Rachel was finally able to leave the hospital after 28 days, last month. 

"This week we WALKED out of the hospital after a month, and Rachel was able to carry our baby girl," the couple wrote in a TikTok video, which has been seen by over two million people. 

@travandrach 4 weeks ago Rachel jumped out of a 2 story window and Travis ran through fire. This week we WALKED out of the hospital after a month, and Rachel was able to carry our baby girl. We have seen and experienced the power of prayer in ways we never have before.

In a GoFundMe page set up for the family, Travis' sister, said the couple ended up losing their home, cars, belongings and "wonderful gifts they had received for baby girl" in the fire. 

She added that the couple are focusing on the positives as they continue to heal. 

"This isn’t the end of their story. It’s just the beginning of the next chapter."

"They’re one step closer to independence, and one step closer to healing completely."
