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

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.

They don’t know because they’re taught men can have periods.

How could she, or any one else around her, possibly not know she was pregnant? She is not obese, and the child is not tiny. Did she have the baby several months ago, and this is now being reported?

Probably not to many branches in that family tree either.

How does any woman, even a teen woman/girl, not know she’s pregnant.

Happened to my daughter last year. She had been gaining weight and none of us even considered pregnancy as a cause because she was on birth control.

At one point, my wife finally said, "Honey, I think you need to take a pregnancy test." She did, and sure enough, she was five months along. Turns out there was a two day gap in her birth control coverage, and that's when it happened.

...there aren’t as many real black people over there.

There are plenty of native blacks in England. They just have different cultural roots than American blacks. Most of them trace their ancestry back to the Caribbean.

There used to be a reality show named ‘I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant’.

Dozens and dozens of real life stories.

The meaning of the name Elodie is Wealthy, Riches. The origin of the name Elodie is French. This is the culture in which the name originated, or in the case of a word, the language.

The name Élodie is originally a French variation of the name Alodia, possibly a Visigothic name.

Why would she?

Any female who doesn’t know she’s pregnant, isn’t going to figure out who dad is.

No way you can pack a whole baby in your torso and NOT have it show somehow.

She looks like she'll make a great mom.

Why would you guess that?

She was clueless enough to not know she was pregnant.

I've been pregnant three times and there's NO WAY you can't know if you are in tune with your body at all.

Some women have two vaginas. Not sure if they are the same women who have two uteri.

I think the size of the preborn at 5 months is a lot smaller than at 9 months.
