Woman gives birth to one baby twice
The young woman gave birth to a baby twice due to illness.
The story of the "double birth" happened in Great Britain.
The 23-year-old mother-to-be learned that her baby will most likely be diagnosed with spina bifida, writes the Daily Mail .
At that time, she was still in the early stages of pregnancy. She was offered an operation that helps stop the development of this disease in the fetus.
The woman agreed and in the sixth month doctors performed the operation. They removed the fetus, corrected the defect and returned it back.
The "second birth" happened at 38 weeks of pregnancy. After that, the boy was put in intensive care for a week and subsequently underwent several more surgeries.
The doctors did everything they could, but warned the mother that the child would not be able to walk due to the diagnosis.
But the doctors' efforts have yielded results. Together with physiotherapy, the child has achieved certain successes and this gives the parents hope that their son will be able to walk.
Statistics show that around 600 babies are born with spina bifida in Britain every year.
