" Little Macie McCartney was welcomed into the world not once — but twice.

"Four months into Keri McCartney's pregnancy, doctors reportedly noticed a tumor growing on the baby's tailbone...."

A pretty good article about a little girl's pre-birth operation. The "born twice" phrase is an exaggeration: only half of Marcie was exposed for her operation.

Meanwhile, in Australia -

"Surgeons Operate On, Save Leg of Baby in Womb"
FOXNews (June 9, 2008)

" Australian surgeons are being credited for saving the leg of an unborn baby by operating on her while her mother was just 22 weeks pregnant, French news agency AFP is reporting."

Quite an amazing world we live in.
