A remarkable type of surgery is exposing the truth that unborn babies are still babies, even when they re three or four months away from being born.
Expectant parents in the United Kingdom have been an eyewitness to the miracle of life as their unborn babies have been spared from paralysis or worse by having surgery for spina bifida, long before they re born.
Live Science reports that this breakthrough procedure has been performed on 32 babies with spina bifida since January 2020.
Spina bifida is a birth defect that occurs when a baby s backbone does not form normally.
NHS England revealed that performing the operation on babies between 23 and 26 weeks of pregnancy, rather than after birth, has a greater effect on healing the child.
