7 A young woman became pregnant Already the very first weeks of pregnancy predicted the danger of losing the child. The expectant mother found herself in a hospital. A successful treatment followed and her health improved. The ultrasound (USG) test performed on the last day of her hospital stay showed the fetus’s size and its heartbeat. However, the joy wasn’t long-lived. The next day, threatening symptoms of miscarriage appeared. The following USG test proved the sad diagnosis. Since the heart had stopped and the fetus’s size had diminished, the doctor pro- nounced the child dead. He advised the mother to abandon pregnancy-supporting medicine. Another test made the day after confirmed his diagnosis. The doctor expected a natural miscarriage to take place soon. In a few days’ time, the woman had a follow-up appointment. She came to see the same doctor three days later. Another USG test was performed to see if a natural miscar- riage had taken place. If that had not been the case, the doc- tor would have to surgically remove the dead fetus. To his and the expectant mother’s amazement, the doctor discovered a heartbeat. In view of the previous, twice-confirmed diagnosis, this seemed to be impossible. The doctor decided to run tests using a different apparatus. Its results undeniably confirmed that the fetus was alive. In less than seven months after this, the family welcomed a new baby, who was born healthy and was developing properly.
