A BABY girl in Texas was born twice after doctors removed her from her mum’s womb to perform life saving surgery before putting her back inside.
Doctors found a tumour on little Lynlee Boemer’s tailbone during a routine ultrasound just 16 weeks into her mum Margaret’s pregnancy.
Her only hope of survival was a medical procedure that involved surgeons taking her out of the womb for 20 minutes when she weighed just 538g.
She was then put back inside her mum’s uterus where she remained for another 12 weeks — almost making it to full term — before Lynlee once again came into the world.
The miracle baby weighed 2.4kg when she was born again and following a brief check up she was taken to the nursery to be with the other babies.
