Talk about a surprise! A 23-year-old woman in US recently gave birth barely 48-hours after learning about being pregnant. While most couples take part in the part-nervous, part-exciting period of nine-months of pregnancy, for this couple, it was just 2 days of living with the shock of their lives, and then welcoming a baby to the world.
23-year-old Peyton Stover, a first-year teacher in Omaha, reportedly ignored all the crucial symptoms that are exhibited during a woman’s pregnancy. However, after noticing severe changes to her body, which included swelling in legs, she got a doctor’s appointment.
Imagine Peyton’s surprise as she went to the doctor only to receive the biggest news of her life – being pregnant with a baby on board. Just to confirm whether she was actually pregnant, she got multiple checks done, and an ultrasound confirmed Peyton to be pregnant.
The surprising week in Peyton’s life took another shocking turn as she was told that her kidneys and liver were not functioning properly, and she was admitted for treatment. While she was admitted to the hospital, doctors performed a much-needed C-section, and delivered the baby boy.
The baby was about 10 weeks early, and weighed barely four pounds (2kg). “Now that I’ve actually held him, fed him and things like that, it’s real. He’s actually mine,” the new mum said later.
The Facts of the Matter
For parents across the world, pregnancy could bring about a whirlwind of excitement and nervousness. For nine months, mothers take utmost care of their bodies that becomes a temporary abode for the baby that is to come. However, what happens when a mum-to-be doesn’t even know she is about to welcome a baby?
23-year-old Peyton Stover, a teacher in Omaha, received the surprise of her life when she was told that she was pregnant. Barely 48 hours later, she gave birth to a baby boy, who was later named Kash.

However, when she started noticing all the visible changes in her body, including swelled legs, she decided to visit a doctor. Her doctor’s appointment was life changing as she heard the good news that she was not expecting to hear at the first place.
