Baby in Vietnam Born Holding Mom’s IUD
In northern Vietnam, a baby boy made headlines after being born holding his mother’s IUD—the birth control meant to prevent him. Doctors believe the device had shifted, making the pregnancy possible.
A photo of the healthy 7-pound newborn clutching the tiny T-shaped device quickly went viral, with many online joking he was “unstoppable” and “meant to be.”
While rare, doctors note IUD failures can happen. For this family, the moment was both surprising and unforgettable—a reminder that life doesn’t always follow the rules.
