You mean the baby is already DEAD, isn't it?

How come the mom was still alive and didn't get poisoned?

[aljy]

really? no blood poisoning or even complications after a few weeks after the baby died in the womb?

[Code Talker]

kuyawa, wala siya na poison.

Lithopedion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A lithopedion (Ancient Greek: λίθος = stone; Ancient Greek: παιδός = child), or stone baby, is a rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly when a fetus dies during an abdominal pregnancy, is too large to be reabsorbed by the body, and calcifies on the outside, shielding the mother's body from the dead tissue of the baby and preventing infection. Lithopedia may occur from 14 weeks gestation to full term. It is not unusual for a stone baby to remain undiagnosed for decades, and it is often not until a patient is examined for other conditions or a proper examination is conducted that includes an X-ray, that a stone baby is found. The oldest reported case is that of a 94-year old woman, whose lithopedion has been present for upwards of 60 years.

the proper term should not be "mummified" but "calcified". Mummification involves the preservation of tissues from decay usually via desiccation (removal of moisture), and/or chemical means. Calcification is the accumulation of calcium. In this case, it has replaced the fetus' soft tissues, essentially turning it into stone, hence the Greek term "lithos".

How strange...
Good for her that she didn't get poisoned.

[iMallalone29]

strange...

so that means, the baby grew in the abdomen and not in the womb?

and that also means that, the mom is not affected by the dead tissues of the baby?

unya? nag menstruate pa siya 46 years before? or wala na?

waaa! kalibog!
