Jayne Jones, 38, saw at a routine ultra-sound scan when she was 27 weeks’ pregnant that her baby was growing in her abdomen, on the omentum ? the layers of fat that cover the bowel.
Almost all such foetuses die within weeks, even days, of conception and only one similar case has ever been reported in Britain.
Ten days after the scan Mrs Jones was rushed to Derriford Hospital, Plymouth by her husband Graham because she had collapsed in pain.
