Newest ‘little disciple’: Nun at Little Disciples of Jesus convent gives birth, names child Francis like Pope
‘I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain,’ the nun at the Italian convent reportedly said.
A nun suffering from stomach cramps has given birth to a baby boy.
She was rushed to hospital in Italy after feeling unwell, Italian media reported.
The 31-year-old, who did not know she was pregnant, subsequently gave birth to a nine-pound boy.
Mother and baby were doing well and The Local reported that other new moms in the hospital in Rieti, central Italy, had begun collecting clothes for her.
The nun, who took a vow of chastity, was quoted as saying: "I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain," Italian news agency ANSA reported.
The boy has been named Francesco (Francis), the current Pope's chosen title.
She belongs to the "Little Disciples of Jesus" convent near Rieti, which manages an old people's home.
Reports in The Local suggested she would keep the baby.
Her fellow nuns were said to be "very surprised."
