Mom Gives Birth to a Baby After IUD Birth Control Device Fails

This viral image shows a baby holding his mother's IUD minutes after giving birth. Physicians assumed Lucy Hellein's birth control device feel out.  But it turns out, it was behind the placenta.

When Dexter Benjamin Manuel Tyler was born in Fort Mitchell, Alabama on april 27, via a scheduled C-Section...nurses and the baby's father thought it would be funny to snap a photo of the baby with the IUD.

It's rare to get pregnant with an IUD. But as no birth control is 100 per cent effective, pregnancies can occur even with the IUD in place, and there can be risks involved. Severe infection, miscarriage, premature delivery & death are risks associated with IUD pregnancies.
