File Under: WTF?

Woman gives birth in pants

    Story Updated: Jan 4, 2008 at 4:18 PM CST

    HARTFORD, Connecticut, January 04, 2008 (NBC) -- A Connecticut woman and her newborn twins are doing fine despite their unusual birth.

    On Wednesday, Larryette Thomas, unexpectedly gave birth with one of the tiny boys inside her pants.  Thomas wasn’t due until February but she says she started to feel contractions around 3 o’clock Wednesday morning.

    That’s when her concerned mother called 911 for help. But just as medics arrived one of the children landed in his mother’s pants.  Thomas said, "One pant leg was on and the other wasn’t and he just came right down and firefighters had to cut my pants to take the baby out."

    Rescue crews delivered the second child a few minutes later using flashlights since there were no lights in the house.

    Mom and newborns Kurt and Kurtis are reportedly doing fine.

    Now this is something you sure don't hear of happening every day.  At least when I read this article I didn't want to smack this woman like I want to do when I hear pregnant women (usually young teenage girls) say "I didn't know I was pregnant.  I just went to the bathroom and the baby came out."

    No lights in the house?  So they are bringing two preemie babies home from the hospital to a place with no electricity?  Not to mention the babies pretty much have the same name!  Saying some prayers that these little guys have some kind of shot at life.
