Father names son 'Tuah', miracle baby born in mother's second womb
Initial scans showed no signs of a baby in the womb, leading doctors to suspect an ectopic pregnancy and advise close monitoring.
SHAH ALAM – Miracles happen in moments, and a Malaysian couple’s story is living proof.
A father, Raja Muhammad Mursyid, has named his newborn son ‘Tuah’ – a name symbolising luck and blessings – after his wife gave birth under extraordinary circumstances.
The couple's journey to parenthood was fraught with emotional highs and lows, culminating in the miraculous birth of their son.
Raja Mursyid shared their incredible story on X, recounting how his wife was diagnosed with a rare condition of having two wombs.
Their journey began with concerns over his wife’s scoliosis, raising doubts about her ability to conceive.
Despite financial constraints, they sought chiropractic treatments to address her back condition. However, the high costs limited them to just a few sessions.
"She was heartbroken, constantly questioning if she could ever have children. I accepted whatever was written for us, but deep down, I hoped for the best," Mursyid said.
Two years into their marriage, they were thrilled when a pregnancy test confirmed she was expecting.
However, their joy was short-lived. Initial scans showed no signs of a baby in the womb, leading doctors to suspect an ectopic pregnancy and advise close monitoring.
At eight weeks, a turning point came when a late-night call from the clinic prompted the couple to return urgently.
"The doctor discovered that the baby was in a second womb that hadn’t been detected before. It was a rare case that even the medical staff found fascinating," he said.
The couple was referred to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL), where specialists monitored the pregnancy closely.
Despite initial warnings about the high risk of complications, their baby defied all odds.
"At one point, doctors planned to deliver the baby at 28 weeks because of the risks. But every week, our baby showed incredible strength. By 29 weeks, they decided to continue the pregnancy until full term," Mursyid shared.
After nine months of emotional turmoil, weekly check-ups and countless prayers, Tuah was born healthy at 38 weeks, overcoming every challenge.
"Doctors and nurses called him 'Bertuah' (lucky) because of how he overcame every challenge," Mursyid said.
The father expressed deep gratitude for his wife’s strength throughout the ordeal.
"She went through so much, but we never gave up hope. This story is for our son, Raja Tuah Mohsin, to read one day—to know how much he means to us," he said.
