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.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
