A hospital in northern Vietnam witnessed a birth that stunned the medical world and captured hearts globally. At Hai Phong International Hospital, a woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy—but the real shock was yet to come. As soon as the newborn emerged, doctors discovered he was clasping a copper IUD, the very device meant to prevent the pregnancy.
The mother, 34, had chosen the IUD after her second child, believing it would serve as long-term contraception. However, the device had shifted from its proper position, allowing fertilization to proceed. Despite the IUD remaining in place throughout, her pregnancy continued normally. The baby was born healthy at 3.2 kilograms (about seven pounds), and both mother and child are doing well.
The image of the infant holding the device quickly went viral—some saw it as miracle or fate, others as a reminder that no contraceptive method is completely foolproof. Doctors emphasize the importance of regular check-ups following IUD placement to verify its positioning. This extraordinary case highlights resilience, biology’s unpredictability, and how life sometimes defies the odds.
