This is an incredible story told in " The European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology " in an article dated June 3.

Admitted recently to the urgencies of Lille, an eight-month pregnant mother complains of stomach pain. If initially, the medical team does not loosen anything abnormal, a closer examination will reveal that the young woman - who had a cesarean section in 2013 - is the victim of a uterine rupture on nearly ten centimeters.

Far from being innocuous, this rare complication can be dangerous for both the mother and the child, since the uterine muscle, tearing, causes haemorrhages and reduces the arterial rhythm of the baby.

The unborn baby clogs the tear

If the 31-year-old is operated on urgently, the doctors quickly realize that the baby has already practiced first aid by pressing his back against the tear! "There is then a suction effect: the back of the baby is sucked by the uterine breccia that it will completely seal.All so happens as if the back of the baby was sucking," says journalist Marc Gozlan in Le Monde .

Surprisingly, this gesture allowed the baby to hold in the uterus with the amniotic fluid while avoiding a hemorrhage to his mother.

Mother and child are healthy

After an uncomplicated cesarean delivery, the young mother was able to discover a little boy of 2,520 kg. And if the child was born with a big lump in the back linked to aspiration, the edema quickly disappeared, leaving room for a baby in good shape.

After this hectic birth, we imagine that the mother and her baby will agree a rest (amply) deserved!
