Doctors treating a woman who said she was pregnant and the baby was not moving instead found at least one kilogram of recently picked cannabis in her abdomen - and clumps of earth still attached to her vagina.
The woman, named as Gloria C., 37, had complained of pains in her stomach and told doctors she could not feel her "baby" moving at the Ruben Lenero hospital in the Mexican capital, Mexico City.
When doctors could not find a heartbeat for her "child" Gloria was transferred to the specialist Women's Hospital where she was operated on.
As they were operating the surgeons reportedly found at least one kilogram of recently picked cannabis in her vagina and abdomen but there was no sign of a baby.
According to reports, the drugs had been wrapped in masking tape that had broken and still had clumps of earth attached.
Images show the huge deposits of cannabis in a bucket in the hospital.
