YSTAD, Sweden, May 31 (UPI) -- A premature baby is recovering in a Swedish hospital after nearly being aborted when the doctor thought the fetus was dead.

The Local reports the woman from Ystad, Sweden, was undergoing an abortion when the doctor noticed the living, fully developed fetus. The baby was eventually delivered 10 weeks early during an emergency Caesarian section when the woman developed a placenta infection.

The baby is in good condition and developing at a normal pace.
