An unborn baby kicked so hard it tore a hole in her mum's womb, nearly killing them both.
The woman, known only as Zhang, was just 35 weeks pregnant, but doctors at the Peking University Shenzhen Hospital had to act quickly after she arrived at the hospital with stomach pains.
The mum was experiencing extreme pain and had problems with her blood pressure, pulse and breathing, doctors wrote in a social media post.
At first, specialists thought her womb had been ruptured so performed an ultrasound and what they found was surprising.
It showed that the baby had "kicked through" the uterus wall into the mum's abdominal cavity. Doctors said the tiny baby's thighs were stuck.
They delivered the baby via an emergency caesarean-section in order to stop the mother's blood loss and prevent the baby from contracting a life-threatening infection.
