An Idaho woman who got pregnant despite using birth control described the shocking moment her baby emerged from the womb — triumphantly clutching her intrauterine device in his hand.
“When all the nurses come in to see a baby with his IUD,” Violet Quick, 20, captioned the video of the surprise birth, which went down this week.
In the clip, which has been viewed more than 22.8 million times on TikTok, her baby boy, Rudy, can be seen holding his mother’s IUD like a contraceptive Stanley Cup as medical staffers look on in amazement.

“Not that creative. The baby-holding-IUD story has been around for decades.”

Without actually researching it, I suspect that the story dates back to exactly nine months after the IUD was invented.
How would an IUD to get inside the amniotic sac? I tend to think much like the 2017 story and others, this was a staged photo.
My mother was an obstetrics nurse, and this story’s been around for a long time, since way before the internet. I don’t believe it ever really happened anywhere.
I agree. But this mom got her 15 minutes or 15 seconds of “fame” and lots of clicks on her Instagram account and now days, that’s all that is really important even if it isn’t true.
And probably well over half the viewers will believe it’s true.
