Newborn Baby holds on to mom’s IUD when delivered

A newborn baby has been delivered with him holding on to the contraceptive coil that was supposed to stop the mother from getting pregnant with him.

The baby boy born at Hai Phong International Hospital in the city of Hai Phong in northern Vietnam, can be seen clasping his mother’s yellow and black intrauterine device (IUD) in his hand.

The coil is supposed to stop sperm fertilising a woman’s eggs.

Obstetrician, Tran Viet Phuong said that the device had come out when the baby was born.

It is claimed that the infant had it held firmly in his hands when the picture was taken.
