In October, doctors in Colorado performed a life-saving surgery on a preborn baby girl by partially delivering her via c-section, and then performing surgery midway through birth before completing her delivery.<\/p>\n

According to the Denver Post<\/a>, Angelica Vance began to experience pain during her third pregnancy, and her pregnant belly expanded too quickly \u2014 an indication that there was an excessive buildup of amniotic fluid. After removing excess fluid, doctors performed an ultrasound and an MRI, and discovered a growth on her daughter Chloe’s chest and neck. The growth was blocking her airway and preventing her from swallowing amniotic fluid, which preborn children do to prepare for breathing and swallowing outside the womb.<\/p>\n

Doctors feared Chloe would not be able to breathe at birth, and there would be no time to perform surgery to remove the growth at that point. They had to act quickly to save her life before her birth was completed.<\/p>\n
