"Special" Baby Grew Outside Womb

A baby girl has survived and been delivered by emergency Caesarean after growing in her mother's abdomen. Doctors at Lister Hospital in Stevenage only realised Millie-An Pittman was in the wrong place when her mother Lisa was admitted for surgery. The 27-year-old, from Letchworth in Hertfordshire, had been told she would find it hard to have children. Baby Millie-An, whose name is a play on the words "one in a million", was delivered weighing 8lb 7oz. Despite repeated scans during pregnancy, Millie-An's position beneath her mother's stomach was never noticed. Ms Pittman, who lost 12 pints of blood and needed emergency surgery after the birth, including a bowel operation, said it was only after surgery that the truth became clear.
