An infant girl who underwent spinal surgery while in her mother’s womb was born healthy, according to UK media reports this week.

Georgia Axford, 19, and Tyler Kelly, 21, said the girl had spina bifida, described by health officials as a gap in the spine, when they got an ultrasound in the 20th week of Axford’s pregnancy.
