Milestone in neonatal surgery: a tumor in a baby before birth is successfully intervened on
Los expertos extirparon un tumor cardiaco que ponía en riesgo la vida de la gestante, de 28 semanas, y de su madre
Experts removed a heart tumor that put the lives of the 28-week gestating infant and her mother at risk.
It is the first time that an intervention of this type has been performed in Spain on such a small baby.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's "of the 28-week gestating infant", not "28 week pregnant woman". The original sentence doesn't make sense.
The original article is in Spanish, so you're probably seeing a bad auto-translation.
I’d love input from a native speaker, but unless my dictionary is misleading me “la vida de la gestante, de 28 semanas, y de su madre” does translate as “the life of the 28-week pregnant woman and her mother”. Which doesn’t make sense obviously, so is likely just an error in the original article.
I am a native speaker and can confirm, both of those words refer to a woman. The rest of the article correctly refers to the baby as la bebe.
Even the translated version mentions that it's 5.5 months.
The translation OP originally offered before they edited it made it seem like the pregnant woman was 28 weeks old.
Thank you, it's corrected now.
