Today’s Petrified Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
Dominican Republic health officials say they have removed the mummified remains of a fetus from the abdomen of a 59-year-old woman, who had no clue what was causing the sharp pain in her stomach for decades. Miladys Roman is the chief gynecologist at Luis Eduardo Aybar Hospital in Santo Domingo. She says the woman had carried the petrified fetus for at least 30 years. The Haitian woman told physicians she had long experienced pain but she never received adequate medical attention until she recently entered the public hospital with digestive complaints. Roman told reporters late Monday that the remains of the fetus weighed 3 pounds and 12 ounces

I wonder if she got to keep it? What a fine curio that would be!
This is the second time I’ve heard of this happening. Second time around, it’s just as fascinating! And yes, the other one started with a stomach ache as well…. Keep ’em coming!
Ok…as someone who has been pregnant twice…didnt she notice something else was amiss? I know the healthcare system in the D.R. is not good, but wouldnt one visit a doctor instead of being in pain for 30 years?
On the brighter side, do you think that the staff of Oddities could find the mummified remains of a fetus for you? This is one of those items that would take time…
