Nun gives birth, claims she didn’t know she was pregnant

A nun in an Italian convent went to the hospital with what she thought were stomach pains — and ended up giving birth.

The 31-year-old Roxana Rodriguez insisted she didn’t know she was pregnant. “It’s not possible, I’m a nun,” she allegedly told doctors in Rieta.

“It would be preferable that she now lead a secular life with her baby, away from religious institutions,” a spokesman for the local bishop said.
