Baby Was Born With Something In His Hands. Doctors Were Shocked When They Saw What It Was!
When this baby emerged from his mother’s womb, he immediately became a mystery, clutching something unique in his tiny hand. Doctors were taken aback when they discovered its nature. Paula, on the brink of delivery, awaited this moment eagerly, but instead of joy, a tense silence enveloped the room. With the steadfast encouragement of the midwife, Paula pushed a few more times until a loud cry filled the room. She slumped in relief as her breathing slowed and her eyes drifted shut, feeling like an eternity had passed.
The midwife stood by her side, holding a bundle, calling out Paula’s name. Blinking to focus, Paula saw her newborn and her heart leaped with anticipation. Sitting up in bed, she hesitated to ask the question, weighing on her mind, fearing the worst: “Is he okay? Is everything fine with him?” Her voice trembled with worry.
The midwife’s wide grin and eager nod brought relief flooding through Paula. “Your baby is perfect. We’ve checked him over; he’s healthy. Baby Bernando, born at 36 weeks, weighed 7 lbs, measured 49 cm in height. By all standards, a normal, healthy baby, except for one thing.” Paula breathed a sigh of relief, holding her son close to her chest, marveling at his beauty. But her gaze fell upon his fist, tightly clenched around something strange.
Turning to the midwife with a question in her eyes, Paula noticed a flicker of sadness before the woman’s forced smile reassured her. “It’s not a cause for worry. Don’t dwell on it too much,” the midwife assured, though Paula couldn’t shake her unease. Glancing at the other medics engrossed in cleaning up, none met her gaze.
Paula’s curiosity grew, and she inquired about the doctors’ reaction to what they saw. Instead of providing an answer, the midwife redirected, suggesting it was time for Paula to rest and replenish her energy, promising to revisit the conversation later. Paula wanted to protest, but exhaustion overtook her the moment the midwife took the baby from her arms. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she succumbed to a peaceful slumber, momentarily relieved of her worries, knowing her son was alive and well was enough for now.
While Paula slept, the doctors convened, grappling with the mystery of the object in baby Bern’s hand. Initially uncertain of its identity, they scrutinized it under a microscope, confirming their worst fears. Shocked and confounded, they questioned how it came to be there and why it resided in Bern’s grasp. It defied all logical explanations that Bernando held the very object that should have prevented his existence. Even after his birth, they remained vigilant, fearing for his safety.
A doctor carefully removed the strange object from the baby’s hand, triggering an unprecedented response. Bern’s tiny fingers began grasping at the air as if searching for something to validate their suspicions. The doctor returned the object to his grip, prompting an immediate calmness. The extraordinary occurrence left the doctor astounded, prompting them to capture the moment with photographs.
Hours later, Paula stirred from her nap, instinctively seeking out her baby in the nursery. Relief washed over her as she found him peacefully asleep, the enigmatic object no longer in his possession. Its absence brought her immense relief, serving as a stark reminder of the potential danger it posed to her precious child. She was grateful that Bernando hadn’t been affected yet.
Paula couldn’t shake the feeling of odd occurrences gravitating towards her. Apart from Bernando, Paula had another child, Gabriel, who was 3 years old. His birth had been equally unconventional. It all began when Paula met her husband, Ricardo, at a mutual friend’s dinner party. Their initial interaction was far from smooth, marked by verbal sparring over trivial matters.
Feeling out of place among the couples present, Paula sought permission to leave early and indulge in her comfort zone of pajamas, junk food, and Netflix. It was around 8:00 p.m. during the holiday season, leaving the roads deserted. Concerned for her safety, Ricardo secretly monitored her journey home, driving ahead as if on his own route.
When he noticed Paula’s car had broken down, his unease prompted him to turn back and offer assistance. Despite Paula’s initial annoyance, Ricardo’s help got her car running again. Grudgingly grateful, she invited him for drinks, leading to a spontaneous night together. Paula, confident in her contraception, and Ricardo, cautious with protection, assumed no further involvement.
They parted ways without exchanging contact information. However, weeks later, Paula’s late period and swollen breasts hinted at a different reality. Initially in denial, she attributed symptoms to an impending menstrual cycle. But nausea soon confirmed her suspicions. Paula had kept her pregnancy to herself, purchasing a test kit in secret. The two strips indicating a positive result left her reeling with shock, her back against the wall before sliding down to the bathroom floor.
She hadn’t anticipated this turn of events. They had both been meticulous; the absence of any means to contact Ricardo added to her turmoil. Taking a few days off work to contemplate her next move, Paula awaited her options. Despite the pregnancy being in its early stages, termination was a possibility. However, she couldn’t bring herself to consider it, especially knowing how some of her married friends struggled to conceive.
Furthermore, this baby seemed to defy all odds, growing within her at 29, a stage where she found herself financially stable but lacking in other prospects. The realization struck her: perhaps this baby was meant to be. It offered her the opportunity to love unconditionally, a companion she could call her own.
Fueled by excitement and newfound determination, Paula began preparing for her baby’s arrival. Despite being months along, when she unexpectedly encountered Ricardo at the mall, Ricardo’s presence indicated he had moved to town. Unable to shake thoughts of a certain woman from his mind, disappointment clouded his expression upon learning of Paula’s pregnancy, assuming she had moved on quickly and was expecting with another man.
However, Paula invited him to her place to reveal the truth, emphasizing her ability to raise her child alone without seeking anything from him. Ricardo found himself grappling with a mix of emotions upon hearing the news. On one hand, the revelation that he would soon become a father with the woman he deeply cared for, Paula, filled him with elation. Moving to town with hopes of nurturing a relationship with her, this confirmation felt like a significant milestone.
However, alongside his joy, Ricardo couldn’t shake a sense of trepidation. He voiced his doubts and concerns to Paula, acknowledging the unsettling stories of disputed paternity he’d heard before. Paula, understanding his fears, assured him of the option for a DNA test after the child’s birth.
From that day forward, Ricardo remained steadfastly by Paula’s side, living just minutes away. He made near-daily check-ins, took charge in setting up the nursery, and offered unwavering support through labor and the arrival of baby Gabriel. Paula felt immensely fortunate to have him; his presence made navigating the challenges of early parenthood seem more manageable. Their bond deepened when they transitioned from co-parents to confidants and lovers.
Eventually, Ricardo proposed, and they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony surrounded by loved ones. Soon after, Paula opted for an intrauterine device (
IUD) for contraception, a decision they both welcomed with a touch of humor. They marveled at their fertility, joking about their luck in conceiving despite taking precautions. They were determined not to relive the past until they felt prepared to expand their family.
However, three years later, Paula woke up with a strange feeling. Upon examining her symptoms, panic gripped her when she realized she might be pregnant again. Tearfully, she confided in Ricardo, lamenting the perceived unfairness of the situation. “The coil has less than a 1% chance of failing. It’s nearly impossible to get pregnant with it, but here I am again,” she cried out in frustration.
Ricardo, while affectionately comforting Paula, couldn’t help but stifle a laugh at her dramatic reaction to the news. He didn’t mind the idea of more children, especially if they were with Paula, whom he loved dearly, along with their son Gabriel. However, he wanted to respect Paula’s timing for expanding their family.
However, it seemed fate had its own plans, as their children seemed to arrive on their own schedule, regardless of Paula’s intentions. After Paula composed herself, she shifted gears to planning for the pregnancy. However, she couldn’t shake off the concern about the coil. Unlike the pill, which influenced hormones and was naturally eliminated from the body, the coil was a physical device lodged in her uterus, the very place where her baby would grow.
Terrifying scenarios flooded Paula’s mind, leading her to rush to the hospital with Ricardo, fearing for their baby’s well-being. In the doctor’s office, Paula hastily explained the situation, expressing her fears of potential harm to the baby caused by the coil. Her mind raced with worst-case scenarios, fueling her agitation with each passing moment.
Paula’s agitation escalated as she paced the room, her head shaking vigorously, and her eyes welling with tears. Recognizing her descent into panic, the doctor intervened, firmly grasping her shoulders and guiding her to focus. He prompted her to name three things she could see and hear, a simple exercise that proved effective in calming her nerves.
Once composed, the doctor explained to the couple that Paula’s pregnancy likely occurred due to the coil shifting out of position and failing to function properly, an uncommon occurrence but not unheard of. Plans were made to remove the coil, but its deep placement in Paula’s uterus rendered it invisible and inaccessible. The only option was to wait until delivery to extract it, much to Paula’s dismay.
Throughout her pregnancy, Paula fervently prayed for her child’s safety, enlisting the support of family and friends who joined her in prayer. When labor approached, doctors prepared to remove the coil alongside the baby, but their plans were overturned when the newborn emerged clutching the coil in his tiny fist. The image captured and shared on social media captivated audiences worldwide, with many marveling at the miraculous sight.
Following days of observation, both mother and child were discharged from the hospital unharmed by the coil’s presence. Their family rejoiced, grateful for the unique story they would have to share, a testament to the unpredictability and wonder of life’s twists and turns.
