The baby kicked the mother so hard the mother's womb broke
A pregnant woman in China has been saved after her unborn baby's
leg pocked out of her womb in an 'extremely rare' case, a hospital
claimed.
According to Dailymail,
Ms Zhang's unborn daughter is said to have kicked Ms Zhang so hard she
tore a wound on the wall of Ms Zhang's uterus, which had been left by a
previous operation.
The baby girl was successfully born at 35 weeks through a caesarean
section, and both she and her mother are in stable condition, according
to the Peking University Shenzhen Hospital in southern China.
In a statement posted on its official social media account
yesterday, the hospital claimed that the first-time mother was taken to
the hospital at around 10am on October 2 after having suffered severe
abdominal pain for about five hours.
Revealing how it happened, the woman's family said they thought
that the mother-to-be had a stomach-ache. After a B-scan
ultrasonography, doctors were said to be shocked to see one of the
baby's legs coming out of the women's womb and poking into her abdomen.
Ms Zhang claimed she underwent an operation to have a fibroid
removed in 2016 and she fell pregnant six months after the operation,
according to the statement. Fibroids are tumours that grow in a woman's
uterus.
Based on Ms Zhang's accounts, doctors suspected that she had a
uterine rupture on the site of the previous incision. Doctors considered
Ms Zhang's condition critical and immediately arranged an operation for
her. The hospital said the baby was delivered 10 minutes after the
C-section began.
Zhong Shilin, Ms Zhang's doctor, claimed to have found a 7cm-long
(2.8 inches) rupture on Ms Zhang's uterus. Dr Zhong said that Ms Zhang's
amniotic sac had also broken and the amniotic fluid had flown into her
abdomen.
Dr Zhong added that that Ms Zhang's scar was located at the bottom
of her uterus and her baby had kicked on it by accident, which caused
the rupture.
