Unbelievable! Baby Boy Born 'Pregnant' With Another Baby Inside His Abdomen (Photo)

In what will come across as a most shocking case of abnormal childbirths in recent times, a boy has been born pregnant with another baby inside him. 

 

The baby was born with another fetus inside him

 

A young woman recently gave birth to premature twin boys in Xi'an, northwestern China's Shanxi province.

 

However, but to everyone’s surprise, there was a third baby in the belly of one of the twins.

 

According to China.org.cn, doctors checked a mass in the boy's lower abdomen. It was about 6 to 7 centimeters in diameter, and an operation was required to remove it. 

 

The operation on a 2-week-old, 2-kilo baby was a severe test both for the boy and the doctors. After four hours, the mass was successfully removed. 

 

The mass looked like a rare parasitic fetus; bones and fingernails were discovered within it after doctors cut it open, said Gao Ya, a professor and Vice-Dean of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University 

 

The odds of this fetus-in-fetus condition are only one in 500,000 worldwide.

 

The twin that hosted the fetus has been slowly restored to health after the surgery.
