MOSCOW, IDAHO: IUDs are known to be some of the safest and most reliable ways of preventing pregnancies, but one mother in Idaho had the biggest surprise of her life when she realized that she was pregnant a year ago. But what’s a lot more amusing and ironic is that not only did she have the child, but also that the baby, a boy, came into the world clutching his mother’s IUD!

Violet Quick, 20, had married her husband John Francis at 19, but had no plans to have children anytime soon and had an IUD implanted in her uterus. The couple, after their surprise pregnancy, welcomed baby boy Rudy last week and introduced the IUD-clutching child to the world in a viral TikTok clip. The baby had apparently even left the nurses in shock as he came into the world.

IUD clutching baby goes viral

Daily Mail reports that the couple welcomed their son Rudy a week ago and his mother Quick had posted the viral video of her son clutching her IUD just moments after his birth. The TikTok video now has more than 22 million views. The text in the video had said, “When all the nurses come in to see baby with his IUD.”

What does Quick have to say?

“So 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,” Quick had said about her experiencing pregnancy symptoms despite an implanted IUD in a series of uploads, according to a report by MSN.

She seemed to be in a state of shock as she took six more tests to confirm the news. “They were all positive and I actually went to the ER and I was seven weeks pregnant.” She also went on to urge her female followers to take a pregnancy test even if they wear an IUD, just to make sure. I would say if you are having any of those signs of pregnancy or if your period is late to take a test,” she said. “It’s better to know because there is a high risk of having ectopic pregnancies when you have an IUD, but they work for the most part, someone has to be the .01 per cent and that’s me and my baby.”
