A WOMAN who gave birth prematurely after falling onto her stomach while chasing two thieves at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, has been released from hospital.
Police say the woman, 32, had four aprons snatched from her by a man outside the Hollywood Horrors ride about 2.30pm (AEDT) on Monday, while she was distracted by another man.
After the aprons were stolen, the 34-week pregnant woman and a security guard tried to chase the men into a food tent, but the woman tripped and hit her stomach.
The guard was unable to find the thieves, both believed to be aged about 18, in the crowded area.
No cash was stolen, but the thieves made off with between $5,000 to $10,000 worth of ride tickets, Detective Inspector Paul Arnold from Auburn police told reporters on Wednesday.
He said they targeted the woman because she was pregnant and the incident "could have gone a lot worse".
"It could have been the death of an unborn child."
Police have reviewed CCTV footage from the area, but due to the 95,000-strong crowd it has not yet been possible to identify the men.
The woman, from interstate, was given first aid at the show before she was taken to Westmead Hospital, where she later gave birth to Roman, a 2.9kg baby boy.
Roman was initially in a critical condition and his mother was extensively bruised, but their health has since improved and the woman was released from hospital on Wednesday afternoon.
Her son is expected to be discharged in the next few days, Det Insp Arnold said.
Police are looking for two men described as about 18 years old with a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance.
They are appealing for witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1300 333 000.
