virgin birth

[badgolferman]

In a medical anomaly, a teenage girl without a vaginal opening became
pregnant via oral sex after a series of bizarre events.

The 15-year-old from Lesotho, in Southern Africa, was admitted to a
hospital with severe intermittent abdominal pain, that felt strangely like
contractions.

To her utter disbelief, routine testing revealed these were in fact labour
pains, as she was pregnant.

Doctors, who wrote about the case in the British Journal of Obstetrics &
Gynaecology, then discovered the teen had no vaginal opening, a rare defect
that only affects between 4,000 to 10,000 newborn girls.

In theory, this should have made it impossible for the teen to get pregnant
without technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The condition, called vaginal atresia, also made it impossible for her to
give birth through her vagina.

The case, which dates back to 1988, has recently resurfaced, following a
report of a Scottish woman who thought she had a burst appendix, only to
discover she was pregnant - and gave birth 40 minutes later.

At the time of writing, medics treating the girl in Lesotho were puzzled as
to how the teen had become pregnant.

The girl claimed that in the months leading up to the birth, she noticed
her body changing shape.

But because she did not have a vaginal opening and had not engaged in
penetrative vaginal sex, she “did not believe she was pregnant".

The doctors learned that nine months before she had attended hospital for a
stab wound to her stomach region shortly after giving oral sex.

At that time, she confided in a nurse that her ex-boyfriend had violently
attacked her in was described as a "mini war" when he caught her giving
oral sex to a new partner.

The experts decided the sperm she swallowed somehow made its way to her
reproductive organs through her stab wounds, leading to the unexpected
pregnancy.

"The fact that the son resembled the father excluded it as an even more
miraculous conception," they added.

What makes this pregnancy even more surprising is that stomach acid is
usually strong enough to kill sperm quickly, making it unable to fertilise
an egg.

The medical team’s most "plausible" explanation is that the sperm survived
because the girl had no food in her stomach at the time of the attack.

They believe this lowered the acidity in her stomach, allowing the sperm to
travel through her stab wounds and reach her uterus, where it fertilised
the egg.

Never underestimate a sperm.
