The unborn child died inside the woman
but was never removed
Doctors in India were shocked when they
discovered the 36-year-old skeleton of a baby
inside a woman.
Kantabai Thakre was 24 years old when she
got pregnant in 1978 but it was an ectopic
pregnancy.
Doctors asked her to have the baby removed
through surgery but she fled out of fear and
opted for treatment at a small clinic near her
village.
After a few months, the pain subsided and
she thought all was well.
However, last week, 36 years after the event,
she started having pains again and so she
visited the NKP Salve Institute of Medical
Services.
Doctors found a lump on her abdomen and at
first feared cancer but a scan showed that it
was in fact a baby’s skeleton.
The skeleton has been removed and this is
believed to be the longest ectopic pregnancy
ever recorded
