If you were going to have a child, wouldn’t it be pretty cool to avoid the full nine months of pregnancy? (With the one caveat, as long as you’re not doing anything unhealthy to your body during that period). Well, this pretty much happened to a woman in Massachusetts.

The Daily Mail reports,

A 47-year-old woman found out she was pregnant just one hour before she gave birth to a healthy baby girl after going to the hospital because she was suffering from severe abdominal pain.

Judy Brown, from Beverly, Massachusetts, attributed her growing stomach to weight gain and the physical changes that went along with her pregnancy to her entering the ‘next phase of life’. But after her stomach pain became unbearable, she and her 48-year-old husband Jason, went to Beverly Hospital on Wednesday and learned she was pregnant for the first time.

The new mom told WCVB that after a physical exam her doctor told her: ‘It’s good news, you don’t have any blockages or anything. You are pregnant – and you are going to have her now.’

The couple has been together 22 years so fortunately their new baby girl is a good surprise. They said they’ve always had the attitude about pregnancy, “if it happens, it happens.” Jason said that he did notice the bump on Judy’s stomach did seem a bit hard, which made him not so sure it was weight gain. Judy thought the growing stomach was “just her turning into her mother.” Watch the incredible story below.
