'Her stomach didn't grow any more, the baby stopped moving and she thought it had been aborted,' Porto Nacional hospital gynaecologist Gesneria Saraiva Kratka told G1.
 
However, despite the death of the foetus, Saraiva Kratka said it remained inside the woman with her body quickly adapting to coping with carrying it around for more than four decades.
'Through ultrasound it was not possible to see the foetus, Dr Kratka added, saying: 'We saw it with X-rays. It was possible to see the face, the bones of the arms, of the legs, the ribs and the spine.'

The woman has since told doctors she has no intention of removing the foetus.
But Dr Kratka said she was hoping to change her mind in order to prevent further health complications from developing in the future.
'It's supernatural, but she has not had any complications,' she added.
