An unborn baby in Brazil was discovered to be holding his mother’s contraceptive device in his hand during a routine ultrasound scan. The expecting mother, who had been using an intrauterine device (IUD) to prevent pregnancy, was shocked when the ultrasound revealed the baby’s hand clutching the IUD. The image has since gone viral on social media. While it is extremely rare for a baby to be born holding an IUD, experts say it is possible for the device to become dislodged and end up in the amniotic sac during fetal development. The mother has decided to keep the baby despite the surprising discovery. This incident serves as a reminder that no contraceptive method is 100% effective, and unexpected pregnancies can still occur even while using birth control.
