News Teen who didn’t know she was pregnant gives birth while in a coma
Nypost ^ | February 18, 2019

Posted on 02/19/2019 2:42:42 PM PST by SMGFan

A British teenager went to bed with a headache, fell into a coma and woke up four days later — after unknowingly giving birth to a surprise baby.

Ebony Stevenson, 18, had no idea she was pregnant, and after going to bed feeling sick on Dec. 2, 2018, she was rushed to the hospital and placed in an induced coma before waking up on Dec. 6 having had a baby girl.

“Meeting my baby was so surreal. It felt like an out-of-body experience,” Stevenson said. “I worried I wouldn’t bond with my daughter because I had no time to get my head around her arrival, but I think she’s amazing.” The college student — who studies sports physiotherapy — hadn’t developed a bump, experienced no morning sickness and didn’t miss her period.

She had no idea she was expecting as her unborn baby was hidden in one of two uteruses, in a condition called uterus didelphys.

Well, with a name like Ebony I was a bit surprised at the photo of mother and child. I guess in Britain they don’t really understand who that name is for.

“her unborn baby was hidden in one of two uteruses, in a condition called uterus didelphys”

In a related condition, the baby hides in one uterus, then moves to the other to avoid detection. Those cases are called “uterus commuterus”.

That moment when you learn you’re a parent and didn’t even see it coming.

Actually, no she’s not. She’s a slim to average young girl.
Funny thing is, she speaks about the birth as though
she really ‘can’t imagine’ how a Baby even got in there!

Miss, did you ever take Sex Ed back in Junior High?
Don’t yo remember a little extracurricular activity with a friend? No. Not texting.
Well, that’s pretty much what happened to you, right?
There was only one “Virgin Birth”, and this wasn’t it.

“Waking up from a coma to be told I had been pregnant and had given birth to a baby girl was overwhelming, to say the least. It’s an absolute miracle. I wouldn’t change Elodie for the world.”

Beautiful and proud smile on her face and beautiful and happy child on her lap.

I wish her all the best. She looks like she'll make a great mom.

How does any woman, even a teen woman/girl, not know she’s pregnant. Seems like it would be like have a carrot up your butt and not realizing it’s there but everyone else can see the bump. Now that would be a true out of body experience.

I'm sure the baby felt the same way.

Let me guess; the baby’s name is ‘Oopsie’.

It’s truly remarkable how many people — young women in particular — don’t know where babies come from.

Those cases are called “uterus commuterus”.

That is a recent condition that has evolved in humans. Apparently, fetuses are evolving this way in light of any-term abortions.

Theres this entire subculture that imitates the black gangsta movies and tv they see, since there aren’t as many real black people over there.

Surely, she did. And they taught the girls
that if you’re having your periods, you
are not pregnant.
