Woman Unexpectedly Gives Birth To A “Frat Baby” After Going To ER Thinking Her Appendix Is Bursting As She Had No Symptoms
There is no way to stress enough the fact that every pregnant woman has a wildly different experience. Some have such strong morning sickness that it doesn’t stop after the morning ends, while others are perfectly fine and can carry on with their life without smells affecting them.
Some women don’t experience any of the pregnancy symptoms at all until the time to give birth comes and they go to the hospital because they think that the pain in their belly is their appendix bursting.
A woman named Kayla was in this exact situation and was surprised to see a leg in the ultrasound monitor when the doctor was actually searching for a cyst. While it was very unexpected news, the young mom took the surprise with optimism and now shares her days with her daughter online.

The woman mentioned above is kaylanicolesimpson on TikTok or Kayla Simpson in real life. Kayla has a following of nearly 190k people on TikTok and she started posting videos in 2020. She was participating in various trends and making stitches with other TikTokers.
In November of 2021 she was joined by a baby in her videos and her videos started garnering millions of views, because not only did her fans not know she was pregnant, but it was a surprise for the woman herself. She kept bringing up snippets of the story until she explained what happened in a little bit more detail.
It all started with a mild pain similar to period cramps, but in a matter of minutes, it increased so rapidly that Kayla was struggling to move

On November 6th last year, Kayla was working as usual and didn’t notice anything wrong with her body either during or after her 12-hour shift. However, the next day, she started feeling mild period cramps even though it had ended two days prior.
In half an hour, the cramps became so bad that she needed to go to the hospital because they were preventing her from moving and the blood was also concerning. The first thought the woman had was that her appendix was bursting, and that is what she told the doctor.
After an exam, the doctor concluded that it must be a cyst or a hernia, so he needed to look at her belly with an ultrasound. The procedure didn’t last long because Kayla was in so much pain that she was screaming at the top of her lungs, and then her mom caught a glimpse of a foot in the monitor.
It didn’t take long for the doctor to realize what was happening and the woman was prepared for giving birth. It took 15 minutes and the baby was out. Kayla didn’t feel anything until a couple of hours after her daughter’s birth.

The new mom explained that she was having her period regularly, she didn’t have any pains and not only did she not have a belly, but she was the skinniest she’s ever been, so the news was completely unexpected.
Despite the fact that she was clueless, her baby was born healthy, she herself is feeling great as well and is happy that she became a mom. In a recent TikTok video celebrating her daughter Madison’s birthday, the woman dedicated only loving words to her, calling the baby her best friend. She frequently includes the girl in her videos and demonstrates just how much she appreciates the little person she is raising.

Because it’s such a wild story, people wanted to know more details. Some were skeptical if the baby was real and others were assuming she doesn’t even know who the dad is. To clear the air, Kayla addressed the questions.
The most burning question is if the dad is aware he is a dad. He sure does and is involved in Madison’s life, but keeps his presence offline. Kayla met him in her sophomore year of college during a party at a frat house, which is why she is referring to the baby as the ‘frat baby.’
People wanted to know what her parents’ reaction was. The young mom showed some screenshots of text conversations between her mom and her dad while she and her mom were at the hospital. You can see that they were just concerned about everyone being healthy and when that was established, the grandparents were excited about this new chapter in their lives.
The doctor realized she was in labor and 15 minutes later she gave birth without even knowing she was pregnant in the first place

It seems that the baby is growing up in a loving family where both of her parents are present. But it’s a scary thought to know that you may be pregnant and not even know because there are no signs that would give you a hint.
Such pregnancy is called cryptic pregnancy and Very Well Health defines it as “one in which a person does not know they are pregnant until about halfway through pregnancy or even up until labor or birth. They may have slight symptoms of pregnancy that are easy to overlook or no symptoms at all—including no baby bump.”
When you only find out that you are pregnant 15 minutes before giving birth, not only do you have to go through the pain and trauma, but you can imagine that one’s brain might be a mess even if you are happy about having a child.
On top of being emotionally distressed, there are some physical concerns as well because the mom wasn’t given prenatal care and didn’t have the prenatal tests done, which are there to ensure a safe pregnancy for both the mom and the fetus.
The woman didn’t experience any pregnancy symptoms and she actually lost weight during that period, so she didn’t suspect anything

Luckily, Kayla was healthy herself and gave birth to a healthy baby. Not only that, she welcomed the baby with open arms and her parents supported her in this new role she found herself in. Actually, people in the comments were admiring how calmly the woman was reacting to everything as she documented her journey of learning to be a mom on TikTok.
Have you ever heard of this condition before? How would you react if you found out that you are about to give birth but never even had the slightest clue that a person was growing inside of you? Let us know your thoughts and reactions in the comments!
People in the comments were horrified but at the same time admiring how calmly she has handled everything
Just to add a little of my experience to this, especially for the post saying they are going to take a pregnancy test. I had three negative tests; yes, I was pregnant.
Yeesh. I was skeptical, but I googled it and this apparently is something that happens… 😰
There's a whole series called "I didn't know I was pregnant" that collects these stories and dramatizes them. Evidently some people just get super "lucky" and have a pregnancy so easy they don't even notice it.

My nieces birth mother had NO IDEA she was pregnant until she gave birth in the toilet. Literally, the birth mom thought she had awful food poisoning and had to poop but a baby landed in the toilet instead! She's two now, a big sister, beautiful, healthy and a wonderful addition to our family
That's quite the story! I'm so happy that child looks like she's loved regardless of being planned or not.
Agreed. It honestly could have gone over really badly. For me personally it would have been a nightmare. I don't like kids at all and never want them. Hell I don't even like being around my extended family's kids for more than the normal holiday greetings!

If I went nine months without knowing I was pregnant, that baby would come out with serious fetal alcohol syndrome :O
Drink an extra bottle of vodka to that ! Cheers!

I know someone who had a baby like that, only not in the hospital but in her toilet, at home. It's decades ago, it was in the 80s in East-Germany. The youngest daughter of close family friends. She actually competed in a 800m run, the day before! Came in second. She also had periodic bleedings, almost no bump (she did get a bit chubby) She woke up with cramps, didn't go to school and gave birth in the toilet. Thank God, her older sister was a nurse (retired now) because the mom was in a real state of shock, for quite a whilw. healthy child who is a mother herself,now. I would never have believed the story if I didn''t know these peeps personally.
Thats horrifying. OMG. Absolute worst that could happen. Even a normal pregnancy would be worst case, but this would be pure hell for me. OMFG D:
Somehow, for me, I think I'd prefer this- no pregnancy symptoms, or building up panic to the due date, just all of a sudden- child! I mean there's still childbirth which is kinda freaky- but if I could subtract some of the bad parts I would

The baby in those TikTok stills is not two weeks old. Probably 8-9 months.
it's good to know someone else had this experience. i was six months pregnant and didn't know it until i went in for my annual pap. even on the table i didn't believe my doctor and told him that i wanted a blood test which he did. but, at the moment of my disbelief he told me that while preg tests can be wrong looking at a cervix don't. had my period until my 7th month. belly didn't change until one day i couldn't zip my pants which dr explained that baby had shifted. ended up with a 10lb 4oz boy
I’m really confused about the weight loss/no baby bump thing. How is that possible? How is the baby not visible in the body? Google here I come!
Go check out the series, "I didn't know I was pregnant." Besides the dramatization, it's educational and tells you more about how this could happen. I remember one woman who was in her 40s, a runner, and she was pencil thin while another girl had photos of herself at the beach in a bikini. No pregnant bellies for either of them.
Load More Replies... Yes, this can happen to young girls. Still have a period and they have a better chance of not showing they’re pregnant. I would not be so calm and cool about this. It’s a heckuva responsibility you never prepared for nor prepared for the massive change in your life and plans completely changing. With me, oh yes, mom knew she was pregnant. Difficult one. But she never showed. Never wore maternity clothes. Back in the day when dry cleaning was picked up and returned, the gentleman came to pick clothes up and commented he missed her last week. She told him she had a baby. The look on his face and said “I didn’t know you were pregnant.” Yep. That can happen.
Frat is short for fraternity, which is an organization for male college students. The mother met the father at a frat party, a party at the house where the men in the fraternity live. Hope this helps. I don't really get why she would want to call the baby that, of all things...

After reading this, if I was a woman I would take a pregnancy test every day and schedule a weekly ultrasound. 😱
Insurance would never pay for weekly ultrasounds like that, nor would a decent doctor join your little game.

And yet we're supposed to know we're pregnant by 6 or 15 weeks so we can choose to have an abortion or not
So honest question here, are there cases where the baby doesn't kick or move so the mother would notice? I understand that some people can still have their periods but I would have thought in their third trimester the baby would be moving or some other indicator that you have a little human inside you.
Yes that's my question also. I know there are a lot of pregnancies with weightloss, periods, belly not growing but I don't understand how you can't feel the baby inside. My kids were destroying me inside, kicking pushing and partying especially at night in my belly.

This happened to someone who I was in a mothers group with my son. She was 21 and at uni, then one day got terrible cramps and suddenly there’s a baby! If I hadn’t have met her I wouldn’t have believed it could happen.
I had a coworker and exactly the same thing happened to her. No symptoms and whooop: baby!!
Went to school with a girl who had no idea she was pregnant. Rode horses, played sports etc. She had a healthy baby girl.
On the other side, I drove myself to the ER at about 8 pm. When the woman at the check in desk asked what was up I told her that before the night was through someone would be removing my appendix. She laughed and said, "oh really?" They didn't get to me until about 2 am but I went home sans appendix. Better still, I was at the ER the day before with a broken finger. Because they operated so late at night I had to spend the day in the hospital. A nurse came in to check on me, saw the cast on my hand, looked at her chart, looked at me, looked at her chart. I told her if she was here to check on an appendectomy I was her man.
I knew a girl who didn’t know she was pregnant until she was eight months along. She was skinny as a rail. I saw her in a bathing suit at seven months and never thought she was pregnant.
Finding out you're pregnant halfway through and cases like this are actually normal in my family.in fact, healthy pregnancies in my family won't even show a positive test until you're at least 4 months along.
This happened to my step sister and my other step sister's daughter. Easy pregnancy must run in their family. My pregnancy was VERY noticeable and quite uncomfortable at times. It's really hard for me to imagine having a full, healthy pregnancy and not even know it, but it really, truly does happen. For something that has been going on since the beginning of humanity, it's crazy how different all of our experiences can be.
This happened with a girl in 9th grade. Her son is nearly 40 now, I guess. Back then, only one hospital in town delivered babies and her family took her to the other one thinking it was appendicitis. They transferred her by ambulance quick, fast and in a hurry.
If you woud read the whole story, you would have noticed she had her period all along. ;)
