In northern Vietnam, a baby boy captured attention after being born clutching his mother’s intrauterine device—the very contraceptive designed to prevent his conception. Medical professionals believe the device had shifted position, allowing the pregnancy to occur.
A photo of the healthy 7-pound infant grasping the small T-shaped device quickly spread online, with many commenting that he was “unstoppable” and “destined to be.”
Though rare, doctors emphasize that IUD malfunctions can happen. For this family, the experience was both astonishing and unforgettable — a powerful reminder that life often defies expectations.
