The baby was born healthy.
Yeah, and look, we reached out to the doctor who wrote the case report several times, but we didn't hear back.
We also asked a bunch of other doctors what they made of this report because it is so wild.
And a couple of doctors said they just didn't believe it.
Others were like, maybe.
One told us, quote, sperm are persistent little guys.
And that doctor actually described a patient that they had had who had no obvious vaginal opening, who had apparently never had penetrative sex and also got pregnant and given birth to a kid with C-section as well.
So, yeah, she was like, you know, it's unlikely, but stuff happens.
Some of the doctors that we heard from also said that there might be another explanation for what's going on here and that maybe that dimple where her vagina sort of should have been wasn't totally closed off.
Maybe there was a tunnel.
tiny hole in there that was missed and sperm somehow got in that way, just sort of the more regular way.
And the fact that all of this happened, you know, some 40 years ago, one doctor told us that they didn't have the technology on hand that we use today to diagnose someone with vaginal agenesis.
They took a pretty good look in there and couldn't see a vagina.
