    Phuong told local media: "After delivery, I thought him holding the device was interesting, so I took a picture. I never thought it would receive so much attention."

    The tot's 34-year-old mother had reportedly had the IUD inserted two years earlier but it did not work as she later discovered she was pregnant.

    Phuong said the IUD may have been moved from its original position, becoming an ineffective form of contraception and allowing the mother to become pregnant.
