Has anyone ever been struck by lightning when they were pregnant?

Brainyblonde

A 41-year-old woman in her 26th week of pregnancy was struck by lightning while standing under a tree during a thunderstorm. The lightning entered her body on the right side of the neck through a necklace, went toward the ground, was deflected by the baby's head, and left the woman's body through the left leg, marking its way by a cutaneous "lightning print." The woman survived, but the baby died. http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/330/21/1492 Sep 12 04, 4:16 PM
