A routine birth at Hai Phong International Hospital in northern Vietnam turned extraordinary when a newborn was delivered holding a copper IUD—the same device meant to prevent his conception. Doctors were stunned but reassured the mother that both she and the baby were healthy. The IUD had shifted from its proper position, allowing the pregnancy to occur despite its high effectiveness.
IUDs are more than 99% reliable, yet failures can happen if the device moves or is improperly placed. In this rare case, the baby developed normally and was born healthy, weighing 3.2 kilograms. The moment the infant arrived gripping the contraceptive quickly went viral, amusing people worldwide who joked he had “defeated” birth control.
Pregnancies with an IUD usually require careful monitoring due to potential risks, making this successful birth especially fortunate. The story serves as a reminder that even the most dependable contraceptive methods are not infallible and that life can surprise us in remarkable ways.
