There is proof of this. He was already two weeks old. Baby Dexter was born with this very spiral in his hand.
Remember this ancient joke? In the hospital, a cheerfully laughing girl was born, who was holding something in her fist. When the doctors opened it, they saw … the contraceptive pill.
There are also living examples: I myself was in the hospital with a woman who managed to get pregnant, despite the spiral, and even with one fallopian tube. True, it was a long time ago, and I attributed everything to the curvature of village doctors (it was in a large, but still a village).
And now, not an anecdote, not a 17-year-old story, but the freshest tale that is passed from mouth to mouth on the Internet: they say, a friend of an acquaintance of acquaintances gave birth to a baby who was holding a contraceptive spiral in her fist.
Well, grinned? We already thought: “What nonsense!” Now take a look at this photo. Meet Dexter Tyler, two weeks old. What’s in his cam? Yes, this is it. Spiral.
This baby’s mother is called Lucy Hellen. She already has two children. Therefore, in August last year, she went to the gynecologist and asked to put a spiral on her. This, they say, will be more reliable than other contraceptives.
The procedure was successful, and the woman did not even think about any additional methods of protection. But in winter, she felt familiar symptoms …
“18 weeks,” said the stunned gynecologist after the examination.
It turns out that the baby was conceived literally a few days after the woman was given a spiral. But where is she then?
“It’s not visible on the ultrasound,” the experts explained to her. – Most likely, it fell out, and you did not notice it.
This is what Lucy thought throughout her pregnancy. Up to the caesarean section, when her baby weighing more than 4 kilograms was born. Then a second surprise awaited her. The spiral was found. She was behind the placenta and was not visible at any screening.
“Now I am one of the very one percent of women who got pregnant using this spiral,” the happy mother jokes.
All jokes, but on the third child Lucy and her husband still decided to stop. The woman asked to remove her fallopian tubes.
And what about the photo? Of course, it is staged. A young mother made this comic shot to urge women not to relax, even with a spiral in the uterus.
