The Outlook Podcast Archive - My Baby was Born Twice

Margaret Boemer from the United States was 16 weeks pregnant when she went for a routine scan and realised that something wasn't right. Doctors found a huge tumour on her unborn child. Margaret was facing losing her daughter when she was told that doctors could perform fetal surgery - which would involve delivering the baby, operating, and putting her back in the womb. We hear from Margaret and from Dr Oluyinka Olutoye, the Nigerian doctor who performed the surgery. (Photo: Jeff and Margaret Boemer with their daughter Lynlee Hope and Dr Oluyinka Olutoye.
