okay.........what?????

AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - A newborn baby girl survived an ignoble birth after slipping down the toilet bowl of a moving Indian train onto the tracks when a pregnant woman unexpectedly gave birth while relieving herself on Tuesday.

"My delivery was so sudden," said the Bhuri Kalbi, the mother of the infant, born two months prematurely. "I did not even realize that my child had slipped from the hole in the toilet."

Kalbi, a 33-year-old woman from a village in Rajasthan, fainted on the toilet seat after the birth for a few minutes before waking up and alerting her family.

"They stopped the train and ran on the tracks to find the baby," she said, speaking from her hospital bed in the western city of Ahmedabad.

Railway staff at a nearby station were alerted and soon found the newborn girl lying uninjured on pebbles by the track. She is now in intensive care because of her premature birth, doctors said.

Most toilets on Indian trains are filthy chutes emptying directly onto the tracks.

Ya I heard about this too! I guess the baby was still attached to the cord and everything. If she passed out on the toliet she could have been sitting there for a few minutes giving time to deliver the placenta to.. I didn't read the whole thing you posted but I had heard she was also only 7 months along, so the baby was quite small (I believe 3 lbs) so that may have been while she could fit down the toliet..I don't know, quite a miracle that she survived. They say she is going to be just fine!

She passed out and didn't know her baby fell out the hole?

"Oh, oops, a baby just slipped out my vagina and I didn't even know it."

Unlikely.

Shes passed out because the pain was so intense. And it was the middle of the night, eventually a family member found her passed out and pulled the emergency break and they sent search crews to find the baby. Atleast what I heard..

That still in no way explains how this baby became unattached from the placenta or why she went into spontaneous labor and was dilated far enough to allow a child to slip out. A 3lb child is still quite large to just fall right out of you without pushing it out.

i meant the placenta...not the baby. Yes, i realize you have to force from your bum it doesnt explain how the placenta came out.

I'm not saying I believe it or not i am just saying what I heard. I dunno, I didn't push at all with brayden so I'd say the baby could definately come out without her pushing.. How she didn't have any signs of this happening before it actually did I don't believe. I mean it does take time to dialate and such like you said and she should have had some contractions before but hey maybe she was just braindead and didnt know anything

I don't think I get what you are saying here? After the baby came out the body would automatically expell the placenta..

No. The placenta is attached to the uterin wall. It takes a while for the continued contractions to expell the placenta. At this point, the baby has already been cut from the umbilical cord and the doctor kind of massages your tummy as he very very gently tugs on the placenta.

I'm pretty sure youre pregancy went the same way. Just because you had no time to push doesnt mean your placenta wasnt worked on by your dr.

How did your placenta come out?

Man that is one creepy feeling, that placenta. With the baby... the doctor supports it as it comes out. But the placenta? Pfft, they just let it kind of drop out.

The doctor showed mine to me (because I wanted to see how it worked!) and it was kind of cool. You could see the sac and and everything.

Well the dr didn't massage my tummy or anything to get it to come out, she may have tugged on the cord a little but not that I know of..And it didn't take very long at all for it to come out after I had brayden, 5-10 minutes maybe.

They showed me mine to! It was neat to see, kind of gross at the same time tho!

I didn't push my placenta out at all. It just kinda fell out into my doctor's hands... LOL. I don't think it even took 5 minutes.
