    Default Tiny woman gives birth.....

    Tiny woman gives birth to healthy son





    Friday, February 10, 2006; Posted: 3:06 p.m. EST (20:06 GMT)


    Roy and Eloysa Vasquez hold their newborn son.

    PALO ALTO, California (AP) -- A woman who is 3 feet tall and weighed 37 pounds before she got pregnant has given birth to her first child -- a healthy boy.

    Eloysa Vasquez, who uses a wheelchair and had two miscarriages, suffers from Type 3 osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder that makes bones soft and brittle.

    Vasquez gained 20 pounds during pregnancy and delivered the 3 pound, 7 ounce baby on January 24 at Stanford University's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. (Watch tiny Timothy cooing with his parents -- 1:49)

    "We just took one day at a time. We had a lot of people praying for us. We just believed ... and here we have our son," Vasquez, 38, of Tulare, told The Fresno Bee for a story Thursday.

    Doctors said they delivered Baby Timothy by Caesarean section eight weeks before due date in order to protect the mother's fragile health -- her tiny, distorted body left little room for a fetus to grow.

    They said Timothy did not inherit his mother's genetic condition.

    Judging from her son's long fingers and toes, Vasquez said, "I think he's going to be a tall boy."

    Her husband, Roy, said his wife's small stature can be deceiving: "She's a strong lady."

    According to the university, one in only 25,000 to 50,000 births are to a mother with osteogenesis imperfecta, and even fewer involve moms with the severe Type 3 form.


    Damn.....she must have really wanted a baby! Being healthy and giving birth is hard enough. Very lucky to not have passed on that genetic condition. That's pretty risky.

    I saw that earlier on the news. She's very lucky the condition wasn't passed on. Her baby is so cute, too!

    She may have had IVF so as not to pass on her condition anyway. It's not uncommon for parents with a genetic condition to do this.

    Wow, I really hope that both she and her son are able to live a long time enjoying each others' company. And her husband too, who, by the way, is a total cutie!
