Baby born with an DIU peg – See now! – Story Of The Day!

The doctor froze. A nurse gasped so sharply it sounded like a sob. The room fell quiet in that sudden, stunned way that only happens when reality bends in front of your eyes.

The baby was holding an intrauterine device—an IUD—the very form of contraception his mother had chosen years earlier to prevent pregnancy.

The irony was almost too sharp to process. The device designed to block conception had somehow been carried along with the pregnancy, displaced, unnoticed, ineffective—and now, in a moment that felt almost scripted by the universe, it sat in the hand of the newborn it had failed to stop.

This took place at Hai Phong International Hospital in northern Vietnam, where what began as an ordinary delivery turned into something quietly astonishing. The obstetrician who delivered the baby, Dr. Tran Viet Phuong, looked at the object, then at the infant, then at the mother—trying to balance medical composure with the shock of what had just happened.

The mother lay there exhausted, hair damp with sweat, breathing hard after labor. Her face shifted between confusion and disbelief as she tried to understand why the people around her had suddenly gone silent. Then she saw it. The object in her son’s hand. The stunned expressions. The way the staff moved more slowly, more carefully, as if they were afraid to disturb the scene.

Her eyes filled instantly.

Not because she didn’t want her child—no one could read her tears that way in that moment—but because it was overwhelming. The body does what it does, sometimes with cold precision and sometimes with strange defiance. People plan. People choose. And then biology, chance, timing, and mystery collide and rewrite the script.

An IUD is considered one of the most reliable forms of long-term contraception. Many women choose it precisely because they want security and control over when—or whether—they become pregnant. It’s designed to sit in the uterus and prevent pregnancy through well-understood mechanisms. It is not meant to travel with a growing fetus. It certainly isn’t meant to end up in a newborn’s grasp like a symbol.

And yet, in rare cases, pregnancies do happen with an IUD in place. Devices can shift position, partially expel, or lose effectiveness in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. A woman may not even realize the device has moved until she misses a period, feels symptoms, or receives an unexpected result on a test. Medicine has explanations for the mechanics, but explanations don’t erase the emotional shock of seeing proof of that failure in a baby’s hand.

Dr. Phuong, with the careful instinct of someone who knew this moment would be hard to believe later, took a photograph. Not to sensationalize it, but to document it. To preserve the strange, almost poetic reality unfolding in front of him: a brand-new life gripping the boundary it had crossed.
