Healthy Asian baby from rare, full-term ectopic pregnancy in Australia

SYDNEY: A woman of Asian origin has given birth to a healthy baby girl in northern Australia after a rare full-term ectopic pregnancy.

Meera Thangarajah, 34, had no symptoms or complications during her pregnancy, so doctors performing a routine Caesarean section were shocked to find that the baby had developed in the ovary rather than the uterus.

An ectopic pregnancy usually miscarries or is terminated by doctors because of the threat it can cause to the mother.

Baby Durga weighed 2.8 kg, and both she and her mother are healthy, said the general manager of the Darwin Private Hospital. “We’re calling it a miracle.” — AP
