A nun who gave birth to a baby boy in the central Italian city of Rieti, said she had no idea she was pregnant, local media report.

The 31-year-old was rushed to hospital with abdominal pains, which she thought were stomach cramps.

The young mother, who is originally from El Salvador, reportedly named her newborn Francis after the current Pope.

Having been pregnant three times, it is inconceivable that someone could NOT know they are pregnant.

There is simply NO not feeling the kicking in the ribs and tap dancing on the bladder, not to mention the other signs of a pregnancy that happen when a woman becomes pregnant.

She must have been in an unbelievable state of denial.

It’s also possible that she had no idea that what she did was what the Church said was wrong. There is a lot about her background we don’t know.

ps:
actually, I sent you the edited version of what he said.

he actually said,
when he mentions Sex to a Jewish woman,
she immediately drives to Sax (Fifth Avenue)

Poor woman. It’s possible that she is very sheltered and innocent, or she may be mentally challenged. Or both.

I was waiting for comments like that!

pps:

“The young mother, who is originally from El Salvador, reportedly named her newborn Francis after the current Pope.”

I’m sure the Pope will be thrilled.......

[Politicalkiddo]

Is the father Muslim?

[trisham]

Your wait is over. God bless you.

[Gamecock]

My bet is a priest.

[Oliviaforever]

Especially thrilled if the kid is named Francis Jr.

[Fightin Whitey]

it is inconceivable

What her boyfriend thought too.

[Lee N. Field]

Having been pregnant three times, it is inconceivable that someone could NOT know they are pregnant.

And yet, we hear about cases like this (didn't know until the birth) not infrequently.

One would think fluid retention, swelling breasts and ballooning up 30 pounds in a few months, would be a Clue.

“you don’t see many virgin births these days.”

Virgins? They still make them?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s a miracle!

[dirtymac]

before I can agree to that statement I must see a picture of the lady in question.

[skinkinthegrass]

"to Sax Fifth Ave."G*D Bless the mother & the child
& Garmin (the traffic computer :)

[xone]

I’m sure this was just a mis-translation.

[Gamecock]

Probably.

They meant to say there was not a pregnant nun. And the baby’s name was not Francis.
