China mum goes to hospital for stomach issues after lunch, unexpectedly gives birth to boy
Woman shows no signs of pregnancy, despite absence of period, considering it typical since her menstrual cycle had always been irregular
A woman from central China rode her electric bike to the hospital to address a stomach problem after lunch, only to be informed later that she was pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy just an hour later.
The remarkable incident, which became a trending topic on mainland social media, unfolded in Ezhou, Hubei province, on June 16, as reported by Jimu News.
The woman, surnamed Li, experienced discomfort in her belly after lunch, attributing it to overeating. However, when the pain persisted, Li decided to ride her electric bike alone to a small hospital at 2pm, according to the report.
While undergoing an ultrasound examination, Li’s abdominal pain intensified. She soon began experiencing regular uterine contractions and her amniotic fluid broke.
In response, the hospital promptly organised an obstetrics team to assist Li. At 3.22pm, she delivered a baby boy weighing 2.5kg through natural labour.
Following the birth, the hospital transferred Li to a municipal health centre for further observation.
