A woman in her 50s in Qingyuan of Zhejiang Province gave birth to her third child last year after undergoing a sterilisation operation nearly 20 years ago, reports Qianjiang Evening News.

Seeing her stomach becoming larger and larger, Hu Qinying went to hospital early last year, suspecting herself might have a tumor, and was told that she was eight-months pregnant.

The local family planning bureau blamed Hu for breaking the law, Hu, however, said it was the failure of surgery that caused the accident.
