Too large to be absorbed by the body, the remains of the child or its surrounding amniotic sac slowly calcify, turning to stone as a way to protect the woman’s body from infection from the decomposing tissue.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGGmlX7R0TnK_nPGsEAI9oqU7Zia5fzrOJFI5mIZcA4Sn5xNf0O0uIuhK2CrCtm81HZf36WGQy34cwqrhDkyG6odex7C3-41RcCsXHSwyS35O4DFQswuB2lkjfiIEHwm_idhs7XhzKDGQ/s1600/60-years-stonebaby.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGGmlX7R0TnK_nPGsEAI9oqU7Zia5fzrOJFI5mIZcA4Sn5xNf0O0uIuhK2CrCtm81HZf36WGQy34cwqrhDkyG6odex7C3-41RcCsXHSwyS35O4DFQswuB2lkjfiIEHwm_idhs7XhzKDGQ/s1600/60-years-stonebaby.jpg" /></a></div> <br /> If no complications occur, believe it or not, the mother can basically just go on with her life.<br /> <br /> According to the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, only 290 cases of lithopedions have ever been documented by medical literature.
