ERUSALEM (Reuters) - A stillborn Israeli baby who was pronounced dead by doctors "came back to life" on Monday after spending hours in a hospital refrigerator.

The baby, weighing only 600 grams at birth, spent at least five hours inside one of the hospital's refrigerated storage units, before her parents, who had taken her to be buried, began noticing some movement.

"We unwrapped her and felt she was moving. We didn't believe it at first. Then she began holding my mother's hand, and then we saw her open her mouth," said 26-year-old Faiza Magdoub, the baby's mother.

The baby was pronounced dead several hours earlier, after doctors at Western Galilee hospital in northern Israel were forced to abort her mother's pregnancy because of internal bleeding. Magdoub was 23 weeks into her pregnancy.


An incredible nod to life.

Indeed it is!  Life is a very determined force.   It amazes me. 

I marveled once at a hearty weed growing out of a crack in the middle of a five acre concrete parking lot.  Life will prevail!

Probably better than she would be if Obama'd had his say about it.

Good for you little one!  (BTW, Mrs. Defiant and I have an appointment for ultrasound tomorrow morning.  Hoping to see the first images of our own latest little one.)

Nothing to congratulate for yet.  We've just placed the order at the Baby Store.  Delivery isn't scheduled until February of next year.  Needless to say, my son is frustrated that they're preventing him from playing with his new baby brother or sister.

Personally, I think all the congratulations go to this new little tyke for being so tough.

I had no idea! Very good news. I hope all goes well with the pregnancy! :)

The baby in the story died several hours after "waking up". :bawl:  http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1218710399820&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

By the way the terms of that article makes me want to go to Israel to punch someone in the balls.  Ooops I see the writer is female.  I will punch her in the balls anyway. :censored:

Maybe you should save your indignation for the 'professor' in that article you posted with this blatant untruth:

Quote
"A fetus develops a heartbeat only around the 16th week, so at 23 weeks it is still very slow. Five minutes or more can pass before such a premature baby's heart beats or [it] takes a breath. After 20 minutes without such a sign of life, doctors let nature take its course, and the baby is presumed dead and taken to the morgue.

Babies heartbeats start at 6 weeks as anyone who has had an early ultrasound knows. We are on the same page, mama, but I'm more irritated by this 'professor' who I suspect is trying to CYA at his hospital.  :banghead:

Yeah I saw my daughter's heartbeat at 6 weeks because I was bleeding.  I knew exactly when I got pregnant too so I knew the exact day of gestation.  That guys is so full of shit he squeaks when he walks. :bird:

You're both right.  Prof. whatzisnutz is talking out his ass.

When my wife was pregnant with our son, we had the first ultrasound at about 12 weeks.  It showed the heart kicking along at 170+ BPM, just as healthy as you could ask for.
