    We've heard plenty of stories before about women unaware they were pregnant suddenly giving birth to babies. The Discovery Channel has an entire show devoted to such cases called what else but I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. Still, this recent case will blow you away, plain and simple.

    It happened last week when a 60-year-old woman went into the hospital complaining of stomach pains. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she sure as heck did not expect doctors to find what they found to be causing the pain -- a baby.

    Every woman chooses to bring her baby into the world in their own way. Some choose, or have to have, c-sections. Others, a natural birth at the hospital. While still others opt for one of the most natural births of all -- a home birth. Doesn't matter. What matters is that mama and baby are both safe and happy.

    Check out these 10 celebrity moms who decided to give birth at home. Some may surprise you.

    Kenny Carr met Lindsay Lowrie at his brother's wedding early in 2012, and they started dating. When they talked about their future together, he told her he wanted four boys someday. Little did he know he'd get all four at once, and so soon.

    In a shocking ultrasound in November, they got the news. First doctors saw one baby, then two, then it became apparent they'd be an instant family of six. 

    At first they were stunned. "I was shocked. I had no idea how I was gonna do it, if I could even carry four. I had no idea how I was gonna do it," Lowrie, 20, told WKYC. But she did it.

Have you ever seen anything like this before? Here it is again, larger.

    When it comes to pregnancy, it obviously takes two to get there. Once you're there, however, there's only one person carrying the baby, and one person who's going to deliver the baby -- mom. With that privilege/monumental task comes the right to make most of the major decisions regarding the pregnancy. Sorry, guys.

    Sure, dads should be involved, and their input is welcome ... to an extent. But, when it comes down to actually making some of the big decisions, if there's a disagreement, then mom's wishes should almost always trump dad's. Here are seven things dads shouldn't get the final say on when it comes to pregnancy.

    I'd heard rumors of women having orgasms during birth before, but never really believed it could be true. I mean, as beautiful as birth is, the last thing I could imagine thinking about during it is sexual pleasure. A new study, however, says that some women do in fact experience orgasms while giving birth.

    The study, published in the journal Sexololgies, found that about 0.3 percent of women experience orgasm during birth. In the French study, with responses from 109 midwives who had assisted in a total of more than 200,000 births, they found 668 cases in which women "felt orgasmic sensations in birth", and 868 cases in which "mothers demonstrated signs of pleasure during birth". There were nine confirmations of full-on orgasms. Experts say this number may even be an underestimate.

    Lucky ladies? I'm not so sure.

With her adorable Shirley Temple curls, big blue eyes, and My Little Ponies in the background Adela explains just what is happening with her Mama in between cereal bites.

    She's quite blunt and straight to the point. Check out the video.

    Erica Nigrelli was dead when she delivered her daughter. The 32-year-old English teacher was 36 weeks pregnant when she collapsed while teaching at a Houston area school.

    Coworkers tried to help with CPR and a defibrillator, but according to Click 2 Houston, after being rushed to the hospital, her heart had completely stopped as doctors delivered her baby via C-section.

    Her birth story could have sadly ended there with baby Elayna never meeting the woman who had carried her for all those months, with her having to grow up without her mother. But it didn't. Instead, something amazing happened.

    When a woman delivers her first child somewhere unexpected, we get how that could happen. When it happens with a second child we wonder why she didn't realize the symptoms of labor sooner. But when it's someone's seventh child, we assume that she's been there and done that so many times that she could probably predict her delivery time to the nearest minute.

    Not so in the case of mom Teresa Moyer, whose baby girl just couldn't wait to come out. According to Fox 59, Moyer -- who already had six children at home -- was on her way to the hospital in Indiana, and thought she had plenty of time. The baby girl had ideas of her own, however, and gave her parents and an unlikely member of the hospital's staff quite a surprise.

    This is the kind of story that makes my blood boil. A woman in England gave birth in the PARKING LOT of a hospital after being turned away TWICE by the "medical professionals" in that very hospital. Are you kidding me?

    The woman, 29-year-old Rabia Rizwan, had already given birth to two daughters, so you'd think the hospital staff might give her some credit when she told them she was in serious pain and was about to give birth. You'd think that, right? Well.
