A 31-year-old nun who claims she was 'unaware' she was pregnant was rushed to hospital in the central Italian city of Rieti after complaining of stomach pains. she initially thought the pains were just stomach cramps, It was realised at the hospital she was actually in labour. The woman, who is originally from El Salvador, named her child Francesco (Francis) after the current Pope. The Ansa news agency reports she said: 'I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain.'
The woman lives at the Little Disciples of Jesus convent near Rieti, which manages an old people's home.
Nuns at the convent said they were 'surprised' and local pastor Don Fabrizio Borrello said the new mother planned to take care of the baby.
'I guess she's telling the truth when she says she arrived at the hospital unaware of the pregnancy.'
