Baby Freebies

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — A woman in a northern Australian city gave birth to a healthy baby girl after a rare full-term ectopic pregnancy, a hospital official said Friday.

Meera Thangarajah, 34, had no symptoms or complications during her pregnancy, so doctors performing a routine Caesarean section Thursday were shocked to find that the baby had developed in the ovary rather than the uterus.

An ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg develops outside of the uterus, usually miscarries or is terminated by doctors because of the threat it can cause to the mother.

TODDLER Chloe Bartlett has finally returned home after a catalogue of mishaps left her and her parents out in the cold. The 14-month-old is thought to be the youngest person in the UK to suffer with a rare neurological condition called myasthenia gravis. Chloe, brother Mitchell, three, and parents Rachel Whitty and Simon Bartlett were forced to leave their Welcombe Avenue home in November after heating at the house broke down, putting Chloe’s life in danger.
