Doctors Believe That It's A Tumor. But What They Cut From Her Body Is Even More Shocking

#1 Meet Zahra Aboutalib

Zahra Aboutalib is a mother of three adopted children living in Morocco. She almost lost her life due to a medical dilemma.

#2 They Found This Inside Her

She was pregnant in 1955, but something was wrong. She went into labor too early, and after two days the baby still wasn't born.

#3 She Fled From Hospital

She was scared of getting a cesarean, so she fled from hospital. Years went by. Zahra believed that if she waited, the baby would eventually come.

#4 46 Years Later, She Began To Have Pains

46 Years passed. She eventually blocked out the fact that she ever had a baby to begin with. Then she had intense stomach pains, and had to see a doctor.

#5 They Thought It Was A Tumor

The doctors thought it was a tumor. What they found will shock you. It was a fossilized baby.

#6 It Had Become Calcified

The dead baby absorbed calcium, forming a hard layer that actually protected Zahra from being poisoned by the baby's corpse. The baby never would have survived, because the embryo developed outside of the womb, in the abdomen.

#7 The Legend Of The Sleeping Baby

In Morocco, there is a legend known as "the sleeping baby." This legend tells that sometimes, babies will come much later than expected. This story was invented so that men wouldn't become suspicious if babies were not born at the right time, meaning their wives had been unfaithful.
