Baby girl defied the odds and was born healthy at Vanivilas Hospital

Unborn child had developed within abdominal cavity instead of uterus

Delivery of baby was an intricate medical feat after successful laparotomy

In a remarkable turn of events, a baby girl defied the odds and was born healthy on November 3 at Vanivilas Hospital in Bengaluru.

Rangila, a dedicated 28-year-old homemaker, and her husband Mangal Turia, a security guard at Majestic Sports Club, were faced with a daunting challenge throughout her pregnancy.

Their unborn child, astonishingly, had developed within Rangila’s abdominal cavity instead of her uterus, a rare and perilous condition. Despite the grim prognosis and the inherent risks involved, Rangila courageously persevered through a full nine months of pregnancy.

The delivery itself was an intricate medical feat, executed via a meticulous procedure known as laparotomy. This technique allowed the medical team to open the abdomen and safely retrieve the baby without compromising the integrity of the uterus. Miraculously, the baby girl, weighing a healthy 2.7 kilograms, entered the world with a clean bill of health, defying the slim odds stacked against her.

Abdominal pregnancies, although exceedingly rare and challenging, are typically identified during the fourth or fifth month of gestation. Due to the life-threatening nature of this condition, patients are often advised to consider terminating the pregnancy. This particular case, occurring at a rate of 1 in 20,000 pregnancies with a mere 10% survival rate, stands as a testament to the resilience of both the mother and the child.
