Horror, Sleaze and Trash.

A lithopedion baby, or stone baby, is formed when a fetus growing outside of the uterus dies. Too large to be reabsorbed back into its mother, the child calcifies to keep the mother safe from infection.   Lithopedion babies seem to mostly occur in ectopic pregnancies: only 13 of the reported cases of lithopedions were uterine, and the resulting stone children were found in the abdomen after the uterus ruptured during birth. Many women who have lithopedions go on to have other children, carrying their flesh-and-blood children in the same body that’s housing their child of stone.
