TikToker Mom Explains How She Gave Birth While Sleeping—And Had No Clue Until She Woke Up

TikToker Mom Explains How She Gave Birth While Sleeping—And Had No Clue Until She Woke Up

Giving birth is one of the most intense experiences that a human being can go through.

A new mother ends the months she spent fueling another, tiny human being. Hormones rage, muscles behave in all sorts of novel ways, and it all culminates in a brand new life.


For many, it's the most profound event in their life.

That is, unless the person giving birth managed to miss the whole thing.

In a recent viral video, TikToker amyedunbar explained exactly how that's even possible.

As she shared in the selfie clip, Dunbar's big surprise came thanks to two main factors—an epidural and an allegedly unobservant nurse.

"So I had been in labour for about 12 hours and they did the epidural. We figured out very quickly that it wasn't working, so they did whatever it is that they do to make it work."
"At some point during me being asleep the nurse who had been monitoring me the whole time turned to my mum and was like, 'Is she asleep'. My mum was like, 'Yeah, she is.' "
"The nurse was like, 'Hey, great, there was a really big contraction and she's sleeping, so that means the epidural is working because she didn't feel it.' "
Dunbar continued, explaining the nurse woke her up to let her know she'd lost the baby's heartbeat on the monitor.Then a discovery was made.
"Doing as I was told, I started moving the blanket and turning over and I was like, 'there was something going on.' "
"My baby was in the bed. She delivered herself while I was asleep. The big contraction the nurse saw was her being born."

People were stunned to hear Dunbar's unusual birth story.

They imagined what the baby must have been thinking.

Others shared some honesty.

They wished the same birth experience wasn't quite so rare.

But as Dunbar went on to explain in a follow up video, the scene didn't stay chill for very long.

Once her baby was out, a whole lot of activity erupted.

"All of a sudden just so many doctors and nurses just flooded the room."
"She wasn't crying, so of course I'm freaking out like 'why isn't she crying?' and her dad, who I was with at the time, wasn't there, so I was also freaking out because of that."

Fortunately, as Dunbar's replies in the comments sections of her videos confirmed, her baby girl was completely healthy and has remained as independent as she was on day one.

We wish them both all the best.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
