'Miracle' baby grew outside uterus
By CP

TORONTO -- Until Lia Tharby finally gave birth, doctors did not know what was going on inside her body. If they had, they would have advised terminating her pregnancy.

But test after test failed to show that the fetus was growing outside her uterus, a condition so rare only four similar births have been documented worldwide. The situation is extremely risky, endangering the lives of both mother and baby because of the great potential for complications.

On April 30, Ms. Tharby gave birth to her daughter, Emylea, at 33 weeks. It was only during the vertical caesarean section that doctors discovered the umbilical cord was attached to the outside of the uterus.

Emylea had grown in her mother's abdominal cavity, her skull flattened slightly from butting Tharby's liver.

The baby's survival, while being described as miraculous, also lends credibility to a theory almost universally relegated to the realm of science fiction: that any human, woman or man, can give birth.

Researchers theorize that a fetus can grow in the abdominal cavity if the placenta manages to latch on to an organ capable of sustaining it. The risk of failure is great, but the process is possible.

"This is nature's experimentation," said Victor Han, chair of the division of neonatal-perinatal medicine at St. Joseph's Health Care in London, Ont., where Tharby, 28, gave birth.

If the appropriate conditions are created and the right hormones produced, any person can conceive, Han said.

But, he added, if the placenta latched on to an organ such as the liver, the organ could malfunction or a major hemorrhage could occur. The uterus is a far better candidate because its purpose is reproduction, he said.

Emylea has a dislocated hip and two club feet, but bears no other signs of her unconventional route from conception to birth.
