What on earth is this....giving birth to moles with hair??

In medical vocabulary class, we were talking about women who think they're pregnant but they aren't, and someone said something about some women giving birth to a mole (like the kind that forms on your skin) with hair and teeth, babies that don't really look like babies, and babies with no bones in their bodies. What is that all about, and what causes it?

What on earth is this....giving birth to moles with hair??
this is a rare but serious birth defect. the child didn't develop correctly and can sometimes look like a hairy ball thing. the child may have formed teeth and hair but not lungs, eyes or anything else. usually these children are born dead or don't live but for a few days.
