Babies Saved Before Birth!

Dramatic, never-seen-before womb surgeries at Amrita Hospital turn despair into miracles for multiple families

- 

It sounds like the stuff of medical thrillers-but it happened for real in Faridabad. At Amrita Hospital, multiple babies were saved while still inside their mothers' wombs, through highrisk and first-of-its-kind surgeries that changed the destiny of entire families.

What parents once thought was the end, doctors turned into a miracle rebirth.

A BABY BORN TWICE: PREMATURE CHILD WITH COLLAPSED LUNGS SAVED

For one family, heartbreak began at 23 weeks of pregnancy when doctors found severe fluid around the baby's lungs. By 28 weeks, the child had developed hydrops fetalis-a terrifying condition that is often fatal even before delivery.

The baby was diagnosed with congenital chylothorax-a rare disorder in which lymphatic fluid leaks into the chest cavity, compressing the lungs and making it nearly impossible for them to expand.

With the baby's life slipping away, Dr. Reema Bhatt, Head of Fetal Medicine, made a bold decision: to perform a thoracoamniotic shunt surgery inside the womb. Using a delicate tube, she drained fluid from the baby's chest to relieve pressure on vital organs.
