Nun gives birth to baby boy
A Nun in Italy, who was rushed to Rieti Hospital by her Convent following complaints of 'stomach cramps' has given birth to a baby boy, according to Italian news agency ANSA.
The 31-year-old Salvadorean nun said she had no idea she was pregnant: "I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain."
She gave birth to a baby boy weighing 3.5 kilograms (9 pounds) on Wednesday and has named him Francesco (Francis) - also the Pope's chosen title and one of the most popular names in Italy, where St Francis of Assisi is the much-loved national Patron Saint.
The nun belongs to the "Little Disciples of Jesus" Convent in Campomoro near Rieti, which manages an old people's home.
