Woman With Half An Ovary Gives Birth

Talk about against all odds!

Trudi Siviter, who was left with just part of her left ovary after suffering cancer of the cervix as a teen, was told she would never have children. She had two ectopic pregnancies as an adult and three failed attempts at in-vitro fertilization.

Doctors said what was left of her ovary was not functioning properly and believed her womb was not strong enough to carry a child. But three months before having a complete hysterectomy, the 39-year-old discovered she was pregnant.

She gave birth naturally to a son at Staffordshire General Hospital in the United Kingdom last month. Alfie was born eight months into the pregnancy and weighed just 3 pounds, 8 ounces, but doctors say he is healthy.
