Phoenix woman gives birth to baby she carried in abdomen

A Phoenix woman on Monday gave birth to a baby boy she carried just outside her womb.

Doctors at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix delivered the child through surgery Monday morning. Both the baby and the mother, Nicolette Soto, 27, were doing fine, said Rainey Daye Holloway, a hospital spokesperson.

Doctors said the pregnancy is rare. They were still determining where the egg first implanted itself and where it grew outside the uterus, Holloway said.

Surgeons believe Soto had a corneal pregnancy, where the egg grew just outside the uterus. The area is surrounded by walls that are not supposed to stretch enough to accommodate a baby, said Rodney Edwards, one of Soto's surgeons at Good Samaritan.

"For some reason, hers did not rupture," he said. "It continued to stretch."

The baby was born premature, at 32 weeks, weighing in at 2 pounds and 14 ounces. The pregnancy carried risks for both the baby and mother, but Soto wanted the hospital to do all it could to allow her to give birth, Holloway said.

The baby was named Azelan Cruz Perfecto, said the father, Victor Perfecto.
