Newborn baby girl gives birth to a baby boy

Unsuspecting Catherine Joffre gave birth to a 9-pound, 4-ounce baby
girl who, just minutes later, amazingly, gave birth to an 8.1-ounce baby boy, say doctors.
“This condition is called ‘fetus in fetus’ and it is
extraordinarily rare,” Dr. Joel Lemoine told derekclontz.com in an exclusive
telephone interview from his office in Paris.
“The baby girl is doing fine. But the baby that was growing inside
her - a twin that was absorbed into her body while they were developing - is clinging to
life.
“We invite anybody who is so inclined to pray for him,” adds the doctor.
“Only a miracle will keep him alive.”
For the geneologists out there, the birth of a baby who gave birth to a
baby made Mrs. Joffre, 27, a mother and a grandmother on the same day. The father, Samuel
Joffre, 29, in turn became a father and a grandfather.
