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.

I found myself sitting next to an about-to-explode pregnant woman yesterday. I bit my tongue and resisted telling her just how insane her world was about to become and to go straight home to nap, because she wouldn't ever sleep well again. The poor woman looked so full of hope; the last thing I wanted to do was traumatize her.

Instead, I tried to offer some very practical advice: What I wish I'd brought to the hospital when I had each of my kids. Who knows if she actually took my advice to heart or not, but I certainly wish I'd been privy to such information back when I showed up with nothing but a change of clothes for myself and an outfit for baby. Here's an extended version of what I shared with her ...

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.

Whoa! You guys aren't going to believe this story -- where do I begin? A mom in Duluth, Minnesota got the shock of her life earlier this week when she went to the emergency room with what she believed to be a strained muscle -- and found out she was actually about to give birth.

Mom of three Trish Staine was in the middle of a two-hour training session on Sunday for an upcoming half-marathon, and at the end of her run, she wound up with her back being all sore.

She waited to go to the hospital until Monday and figured when she got there, the doctors would probably tell her she'd pulled something. And you can only imagine her state of disbelief when she found out she was not only pregnant -- but that she was due to deliver the exact same day.

Oh boy. She must have a serious case of "pregnancy brain" going on, because Kim Kardashian is considering eating her placenta after her baby girl arrives in July.

No, this isn't a rumor. On the season premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim looked right at her doctor and asked if eating her placenta would "make her look younger" -- and then she said she "really wants to do it."

Huh. Famous moms hopping on the placenta eating bandwagon is nothing new. January Jones ingested her placenta in capsule form, and Holly Madison was supposedly planning on popping placenta pills too. But I always wondered if the main reason they did it is because it's controversial and trendy -- which the celeb crowd definitely loves.

I've never heard anything about eating your placenta as a means of looking younger. (Does it really work?)

Wow. Of all the places you think you'll wind up giving birth, somehow I'm guessing the highway isn't something that comes to mind for most of us. But one mom from Utah didn't really have much of a choice -- and wound up delivering twins on I-80 because she couldn't make it to the hospital in time.

Lynette Hales was on a trip to Nevada when she woke up and realized she was in labor, something that was totally unexpected, considering she was 30 weeks along and not due until August. She and the friend she was traveling with hopped in the car and did their best to get to the hospital, but things didn't quite pan out -- so they pulled over on the side of the interstate so Lynette could give birth.

We all know that during labor, your cervix is supposed to dilate to about 10 centimeters in diameter before you're ready to start pushing. But what does that really look like? I don't think I had a clear image of that in my mind when I was in labor. That's probably because I was in hellfire pain at the time. But even if I'd been in my right mind, it might have been helpful to visualize what exactly "stalled at four centimeters" looks like, or what "nine-and-a-half centimeters and dying to shove this baby out" is like. So we've compiled a helpful little visual guide to your cervix in centimeters, comparing the sizes to everyday household items.

A woman from Florida got the shock of her life yesterday went she unexpectedly went into labor at eight months pregnant -- and wound up giving birth in less than one minute.

Shannon Edgecomb started feeling contractions all of a sudden, and before she knew it, she was forced to get up out of her chair and literally catch her baby girl in one hand. Are you believing this? One minute she was just going about her day, and then about 60 seconds later, she had her daughter in her hands -- a child she didn't expect to see for another month or so.
