    A baby was born twice due to a rare tumor called a Sacroccygeal Teratoma that was growing attached to the baby inside the womb. At 23 weeks pregnant, doctors performed innovative fetal surgery to remove the tumor, which was almost the size of the baby, requiring them to pull the baby out of the uterus. After successfully removing the tumor, they placed the baby back in the uterus and stitched it up. Twelve weeks later, the baby was delivered safely via c-section, having essentially been born twice due to the complex tumor and fetal surgery.

    HEALTH

    My current event is about how a baby was born twice because of a tumor that
    affects children before they are born. The tumor is called a Sacroccygeal Teratoma
    (which is a tumor that grows at the tailbone and is more often found in girls then
    guys and occurs in 1 in 35,000 births). At 23 weeks pregnant they decided to
    perform surgery and the tumor was nearly as big as the baby. They had to cut open
    the uterus and pull the baby out to surgically remove the fetus. When the
    successfully took off the tumor they put the baby back in the uterus and stitched it
    up. Then 12 weeks later she was born again by a c section.
