pregnant? Find the report below...
A Salvadorean nun who said she had no idea she was
pregnant gave birth in Italy this week after she felt
stomach cramps in her convent and was rushed to
hospital, Italian media reported on Friday.
The 31-year-old mother and her baby boy, who
weighs 3.5 kilograms (9 pounds), are doing well and
other new mothers in Rieti hospital have begun
collecting clothes and donations for her, the reports
said.
"I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach
pain," the nun was quoted as saying at the hospital,
the Italian news agency ANSA reported. Continue...
La Repubblica said she gave birth on Wednesday.
ANSA said the nun had named her baby Francesco
(Francis) -- also the pope's chosen title and one of the
most popular names in Italy, where St Francis of Assisi is
the much-loved national patron saint.
The hospital could not be reached for comment.
The nun belongs to the "Little Disciples of Jesus" convent
in Campomoro near Rieti, which manages an old people's
home and reports said she would keep the baby.
Her fellow nuns were quoted saying they were "very
surprised".
