Mom Gives Birth in Her Sleep, and Nurses Don’t Find Her Baby Until Minutes Later Under a Pile of Blankets (Exclusive)
Key Points:
- Carolina Moreno, a Canada-based mom of three, gave birth unexpectedly while asleep and was shocked to find her newborn son face down under a pile of blankets, a moment she describes as “really traumatizing.”
- Moreno tested positive for Group B Streptococcus and was induced with antibiotics and Pitocin, but after receiving an epidural, she fell asleep, unaware that her baby had been born without anyone realizing.
- Nurses struggled to find the baby’s heartbeat, which caused panic when Moreno woke to discover her son under the blankets, not crying, leading to fears he was dead until the nurse revived him.
- Despite the frightening delivery, Moreno’s son was born healthy and is described as calm and easygoing, making the family feel very lucky and grateful for his perfect health.
- Moreno reflects that her baby “delivered himself,” and the experience, while traumatic, ended positively with a smooth adjustment to life with their “absolutely amazing” newborn.
