A 36-week pregnant American woman was declared dead because her heart stopped beating, actually gave birth to a baby and came 'back to life'. In February, Erica Nigrelli, a school teacher in Missouri City fainted in her classroom. Her husband also a teacher at the same school was just two rooms away. 'I opened the door and walked in. Erica was lying on the floor, she was foaming and making gurgling sounds and just staring up,' he was quoted as saying. 'My wife is pregnant,' he said. 'She's having a seizure! The baby's due in three weeks!'
By the time she reached the hospital the doctors couldn't find a pulse. The doctors delivered a baby through an emergency Caesarean section. That's when the so-called miracle took place and Erica's heart started beating again. Now three months later, both the other and child are doing well and the baby named Elayna is getting healthier. 'Nine times out of ten most people die from the initial collapse,' said Erica. 'It was literally a ticking time bomb, it just happened when I was 36 weeks pregnant.'
