A MUM was left shocked after finding out she was pregnant while on birth control.
But doctors and nurses had a laugh when her new baby boy came out gripping his mum’s intrauterine device (IUD).
When 20-year-old American Violet Quick found out she was expecting nine months after she had her IUD inserted, she was dumbfounded.
Idaho-based Violet and her husband welcomed their healthy baby boy Rudy a week ago when she decided to post the photo on TikTok.
The photo shows new-born baby Rudy gripping his mum’s IUD – the very device which was supposed to prevent his conception.
Violet said: “‘I had my Skyla IUD for nine months before I got pregnant and the reason that I decided to take a test was because I was feeling nauseous for about two weeks and I would just throw up every once in a while.
“I didn’t know what was going on and so I took a test and it was positive right away.”
Violet had been married for less than a year to her husband John Francis when they got the news.
The newlywed quickly took six additional pregnancy tests to see if she was pregnant, until doctors confirmed it in hospital.
Violet has advice for others: “I would say if you are having any of those signs of pregnancy or if your period is late to take a test
