A woman suffering from extreme bloating was shocked to find out she was 23 weeks pregnant with a fetus growing in her bowel.
The woman, 37, went to doctors complaining of pain in her abdomen that lasted 10 days — as well as bloating that had gradually gotten worse.
Scans revealed a 'normally-formed' fetus was growing in her abdominal cavity — the space between the stomach and the bowel.
Known as an ectopic pregnancy, the medical phenomenon is nearly always fatal for the child. But doctors were able to deliver the baby at 29 weeks and within three months, both the mother and child were discharged.
The case was revealed in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Doctors diagnosed her with an abdominal pregnancy, a type of ectopic pregnancy — or pregnancy outside of the uterus — that occurs in the abdomen.
The baby was in the peritoneal cavity, or area holding the vital organs, with the placenta attached to the top of the pelvis.
Doctors said these pregnancies are very rare but possible if a fetus starts to grow in the fallopian tubes — which carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus — or ovaries.
Over time, these can rupture — allowing the fetus to 'escape' into the cavity.

Lying Headline. MEH journalists.
I’m pretty sure that Joe Biden was birthed from his mother’s bowels. Liz Cheney from her father’s.
Husband got a little kinky with his wife?
“Mommy, where do Democrats come from?”
Even in year 2023, there remains a short list of direct questions no doctor wants to ask his patient, at least never face to face. That question would definitely be on the list.
2nd fake DM headline posted here today that I’ve seen (I’m sure there are others).
Feb. 3, 2010 -- A strange tale of oral sex, a knife fight and the most unlikely of pregnancies recently brought to light by the blogosphere has doctors touting the triumphant persistence of sperm.
In 1988, a 15-year-old girl living in the small southern African nation of Lesotho came to local doctors with all the symptoms of a woman in labor. But the doctors were quickly puzzled because, upon examination, she didn't have a vagina.
"Inspection of the vulva showed no vagina, only a shallow skin dimple," so doctors delivered a healthy baby boy via Caesarean, the authors wrote in a case report published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Her birth defect -- called Mullerian agenesis or Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome -- didn't necessarily surprise doctors, but her pregnancy did. Even the 15-year-old girl could not believe she was pregnant.

Ectopic pregnancy.
Doctors delivered the baby at 29 weeks and
within three months, both the mother and child were discharged.
If anyone’s familiar with The Omen series, this happened at the beginning of the book after The Final Conflict.
“ Lying Headline. MEH journalists.”
*****************************
It is indeed a false headline. The baby most definitely did NOT develop in the lower gastrointestinal tract (aka the bowels) as reading the actual story makes clear.
In ectopic pregnancy, treatment consists of removing the tissue in which the unborn baby is implanted. Unfortunately, the baby too is removed and thus, as a side effect, the baby dies.
This is very different from what is in everyday speech called an abortion.
Physically, the procedures are totally different.
Morally, the goal of an abortion is to kill the unborn child: the child itself is attacked. Removal of an ectopic pregnancy has as its goal to save the mother’s life.
Legally, the two different acts are considered entirely separately.
Made ya look!
I remember this happening about 30 years ago.
The headline lies.
The child is growing on the on the outside of the bowel cavity
So, not growing IN her bowel. Just next to it.
That's absolutely NOT what the headline says.
So, the headline is pure clickbait.
No. What a horrible thing to say.
The headline lied.
Both later “lost to follow-up”.
Isn’t that interesting.
