Rare Case: Baby Born Holding an IUD
In Vietnam, a newborn shocked doctors when he came into the world clutching his mother’s IUD — the device meant to prevent his birth.
The photo of the healthy 3.2 kg baby quickly went viral, with fans calling him “unstoppable” and “destined to be here.”
Doctors say the IUD had shifted, making it ineffective — a rare failure of the 99% reliable contraceptive.
For the 34-year-old mother, the surprise became a blessing. Against all odds, life found a way.
