Ground-breaking Surgery—Never Done Before in Britain—Delivers Baby Growing Outside his Mother's Womb

"He's our little miracle baby. That's what they called him at the hospital—a miracle, Billy the Whizz."

(United Kingdom)—Thirty-eight-year-old Jayne Jones had no idea her pregnancy wasn't routine, until an ultrasound at 27 weeks revealed her baby was growing in her abdomen instead of her uterus.

In most cases such as this, the baby never reaches that point in gestation; typically dying within weeks or days after conception.

But, not Billy.

According to the article in the Telegraph-UK, little Billy was born on April 19th weighing only 2 lbs., 2 oz., and immediately placed inside a special plastic bag in an incubator.

"He's our little miracle baby," exclaimed Jayne. "That's what they called him at the hospital—a miracle, Billy the Whizz."
