Woman doesn't realise she's given birth, flushes baby down loo.

That's rather sad.

...Wow, that's messed up.

That was a super wtf article for me. Shared it with coworkers and the concensus was the same. Then I tried to rationalize it in my mind, which was difficult having had zero children in my lifetime thus far. In the end it was all tmi so I gave up.

How does someone not realize they are giving birth to a seven-and-a-half pound child?

I'd imagine it's possible - Toya had her first with very little effort apparently (although she was 2 months premature, so smaller than that), but pretty unlikely, yeah.

Mine was seven pounds and eight ounces and two days past due. While I didn't have any trouble delivering I was in a lot of pain until I was given medication. So this is why I find it a little hard to believe this woman was unaware.
