Tehran, June 27, IRNA -- An Iranian woman gave
birth to a frog in a bizarre labor in the southeastern city of
Iranshahr Saturday.
Gynecologist Varasteh, who confirmed the report said the woman
whose period had stopped for six months underwent a sonography in
May which showed she had a cyst in her abdomen, wrote the
Farsi-language daily E'temad in its Sunday's edition.
Following severe bleeding, the woman who has not been named gave
birth to a live gray frog accompanied with mud.
Varasteh believes the frog larva has most likely entered and
grown in the woman's body.
Other physicians argue that the larva has found its way into her
body while she was swimming in a dirty pool, turning to a frog after
the fetus has grown.
And some specialists blame genetic disorders, saying the
so-called frog has similarities with the human's fetus.
The woman has two healthy children.
