* Doc Robbins on ''Series/{{CSI}}'' got the rare-for-an-M.E. chance to save a life when he realized that a teenage girl who'd hanged herself just minutes before he and Nick arrived on-scene still had a living fetus inside her. A hasty C-section saved the baby, and Nick and the rest of the team tracked down the ex-boyfriend, who'd had no idea the girl'd been pregnant when they broke up but is still willing to be father to their daughter.

* Happened to Violet in ''PrivatePractice''. A patient was convinced the baby was hers.

* Sadly, this often occurred as a war crime in the past, with recorded incidents from the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857 to the Rape of Nanking in the 1930s, the Nazi concentration camps (where pregnant women would also be experimented on) and the [[http://orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/serbian_newmartyrs.aspx mass murders of Orthodox Serbs in the Jasenovac camp]] (by the Nazi-backed Catholic Croatian fascist Ustaše UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo).

* A shocking, but simultaneously fascinating example from an aquarium in New Zealand: [[https://www.treehugger.com/natural-sciences/shark-bites-pregnant-shark-in-stomach-saves-eight-shark-pups.html A SHARK was subjected to this trope by another shark]]. Apparently, no one knew the first shark was pregnant until the second one bit her and ripped her open. To everyone's astonishment, a few baby sharks swam out of their mother's wound and the aquarium staff immediately worked to rescue them and their mother, successfully getting the remaining babies out (there were eight in total) and patching up the mother's injuries, from which she has since recovered.
