She revealed that Rudy even left the nurses in shock as they all rushed to see her baby IUD.
“When all the nurses come to see a baby with an IUD,” Violet captioned the video.
In a series of videos, Violet revealed that she decided to take a pregnancy test as a precaution because she had been feeling nauseous for two weeks.
“So I had my Skyla IUD for nine months before I got pregnant and the reason I decided to get tested was because I was feeling nauseous for about two weeks and was throwing up occasionally.
“I didn’t know what was going on so I took a test and it was positive straight away,” the 20-year-old explained.
Not entirely believing she was pregnant, Violet was stunned when she saw the positive result and proceeded to six more tests to confirm her results.
“They were all positive and I went to the ER and was seven weeks pregnant,” she explained.
She advised her more than 6,000 followers to “get tested” if they had symptoms, even if they were taking birth control.
“I would say if you have any of these signs of pregnancy or your period is late for a test.
“You better know because there is a high risk of having ectopic pregnancies when you have an IUD, but they work for the most part, someone has to be the 0.01% and that’s me and my baby,” she added.

An IUD is one of the most effective forms of birth control, with a success rate of over 99%, meaning less than 1 in 100 people wearing an IUD will become pregnant each year.
In very rare cases, you can get pregnant while using an IUD because your IUD has been misplaced.
If an IUD slips out of place, the risk of getting pregnant increases.
You can check IUD placement from the comfort of your home or go to your doctor’s office to get an ultrasound.
To make sure your IUD hasn’t moved on its own, insert your index or middle finger into your vagina. You should be able to feel the strings attached to the IUD, but not the plastic itself.
If you can’t feel the strings of your IUD, contact your doctor to schedule an ultrasound.
Violet revealed her IUD was still in place when she found out she was pregnant.

If you get pregnant with an IUD, you’re more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, according to Healthline
However, many cases have also seen women, like Violet, giving birth to healthy babies while having the birth control device in them.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy develops outside of your uterus. This can happen if a fertilized egg begins to grow in your fallopian tube.
Although rare, ectopic pregnancies are extremely serious and, if left untreated, can even be fatal.
According to the International Journal of Women’s Health, it is estimated that two in 10,000 women with a hormonal IUD will experience an ectopic pregnancy, while they affect five in 10,000 with a copper IUD each year.
Miscarriages – which occur when a pregnancy ends spontaneously after its 20th week – are also more common with IUD use.
According to Healthline, if you want to stay pregnant, you must remove the IUD early in pregnancy.
According to Healthline, if you want to stay pregnant, you must remove the IUD early in pregnancy.
And although doctors recommend removing the birth control device early in pregnancy, sometimes they have no choice but to keep the contraceptive device on.
If the IUD strings become wrapped around the cervix due to fetal enlargement, the IUD cannot be reached and attempting to remove it could potentially endanger the mother or the pregnancy.
And although the effectiveness rate is high, if an IUD slips out of place, the risk of getting pregnant increases.
If you develop any of these signs or symptoms while using an IUD, contact your doctor and/or take a pregnancy test. Symptoms include: fever, chills, excruciating pain or cramping in the lower abdomen, unusual discharge or heavy bleeding from the vagina, pain or bleeding during sex.
And although rare, many women in Violet’s comments section shared their own stories of their IUD babies.
