Etopic baby born healthy
Against all odds, a baby who developed in a woman’s ovary instead of her uterus is alive and well.
Durga Thangarajah is the only child in Australia — and possibly the world — to survive a full-term ovarian pregnancy.
But the healthy 2.8kg bundle was yesterday oblivious to all the fuss caused by her remarkable entry into the world at 8.47am Thursday.
“This form of pregnancy is rare enough, but to have it full-term is unheard of,” said obstetrician Andrew Miller, from Darwin Private Hospital.
“I have never come across it in any hospital . . .
“It truly is a miracle she got a living baby out of it.”
