doctor Brazil

Rafaela Frota is a Brazilian obstetrician and gynecologist who gained attention for her role in the extraordinary birth of a baby named Bernardo, who was born with an intrauterine device (IUD) attached to his body. During the delivery, Frota explained that the device had been left in place during the pregnancy to avoid risks associated with its removal, and she noted that the IUD did not pose any risks during gestation. This rare case sparked interest both in the medical community and on social media, as it highlighted the complexities surrounding contraceptive methods and childbirth.
