Former gymnastics champion Sang Lan, gave birth to a baby boy this morning in a hospital in Beijing. It is the first case of a high paraplegia patient gave birth to a baby by caesarean.

No woman is complete unless she's a mother.

The news was first posted on Sang's Weibo, a twitter-like social media in China, saying that she gave birth to a baby boy at 12:19 a.m. on April 14, in Beijing and the baby weighed 2.85 kg. Both mother and baby were reported to be in good condition.

Sang, 33, became paraplegic after a serious injury on July 22, 1998, when she did warm-ups for the vault event final at the fourth Goodwill Games in the United States.

Sang got married with Huang Jian, her then-business agent in 2013. In January this year, Sang revealed that she was pregnant by a photo posted on Weibo.
