Meet The 'Miracle Baby' Who Grew Outside The Womb!
A mother is calling her newborn a 'miracle baby' after it grew outside her womb and was delivered successfully in pioneering British operation.
In a routine ultra-sound scan, Jayne Jones discovered that she was 27 weeks' pregnant and her baby was growing in her abdomen, on the omentum the layers of fat that cover the bowel.
Almost all such foetuses die within weeks, even days, of conception and only one similar case has ever been reported in Britain.
Ten
days
after
the
scan
Jones
was
rushed
to
Derriford
Hospital,
Plymouth
by
her
husband
Graham
because
she
had
collapsed
in
pain.
She
had
to
have
groundbreaking
surgery
that
had
never
been
done
before
in
Britain
and
involved
36
NHS
staff.
Billy was born weighing 2lb 2oz on April 19 and immediately put in an incubator - where he was kept warm inside a plastic bag.
"He was so tiny. He was in a little resealable sandwich bag to keep his temperature up. They told me that, for all the millions spent on the NICU, what's made the biggest difference to survival rates are Tesco resealable sandwich bags," the Telegraph quoted Jones, as saying.
"He's our little miracle baby. That's what they called him at the hospital – a miracle, Billy the Whizz," she added.
However, the birth was also dangerous for the mother.
Jones had a one in five chance of dying in childbirth and was placed in a High Dependency Unit after the birth.
She
still
may
need
another
operation
to
remove
the
baby,bowel,child
birth,foetus,incubator,miracles,placenta,pregnancy,sandwiches,womb
that
was
left
in
her
body
but
doctors
hope
that
it
will
shrink
inside
her
and
be
absorbed
by
the
body.
