‪‪In a land well known for the biblical story of a holy birth, The Israeli media is trumpeting a new modern miracle from a baby to be.

There were no three wise men or a manger this time but there was one smart yet to be born child waving at the doctors – look there is something wrong.

‪On Sunday, mom to be Hindi Gross was undergoing a routine sonogram at the Sheba hospital in central Israel, a day before her pre-planned C-section.

She felt good, there were no indications of any problem, but when the doctor looked at the sonogram screen he was very surprised.‪‪

 ”I saw something floating in the amniotic fluid and the baby grabbed and waved it, as if trying to tell us – take a look at that, something is wrong. I have seen blood clots in the uterus before but I have never seen a baby grabbing it and waving it like that”, Dr. Yinon Gilboa, obstetrics and gynecology specialist, told Fox.‪‪

‪‪The doctor soon realized that the baby was holding a 2.75 inch blood clot and the mother was rushed to the OR.‪‪ ‪‪

The little baby girl was delivered safely and is now 4 days old. She does not have a name yet but she is already known through out Israel as the little heroine who miraculously saved her mother’s life.‪‪ ‪‪ ‪‪
