A Salvadorean nun who said she had no idea she was pregnant gave birth in Italy this week after she felt stomach cramps in her convent and was rushed to hospital, Italian media reported.
A few hours later, she had given birth to a boy.
The Ansa news agency reports she said: 'I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain.'
The woman lives at the Little Disciples of Jesus convent near Rieti, which manages an old people's home.
Nuns at the convent said they were 'surprised' and local pastor Don Fabrizio Borrello said the new mother planned to take care of the baby.
'I guess she's telling the truth when she says she arrived at the hospital unaware of the pregnancy,' he said.
The 31-year-old mother and her baby boy, who weighs 3.5 kilograms (7.7 pounds), are doing well and other new mothers in Rieti hospital have begun collecting clothes and donations for her, the reports said.
