Woman gives birth in a train toilet

[fghj]

AHMADABAD, India — A newborn baby girl fell through the toilet in a moving train and onto the tracks moments after her mother prematurely gave birth, surviving nearly two hours before being found, relatives said Thursday.

The child's mother, who uses the single name Bhuri, was traveling with relatives on an overnight train when she went to the bathroom shortly before midnight Tuesday and unexpectedly gave birth to a baby girl, said Arjun Kumar, her brother-in-law.

"Later, she fell unconscious and the baby fell through the toilet," he continued. "Two stations later, we knocked at the door."

Bhuri opened the door, soaked in blood.

"When we asked her about what happened, she said the baby had fallen through onto the tracks," Kumar said.

Toilets on Indian trains usually have holes that open directly onto the tracks, and there were no indications Thursday that authorities doubted Bhuri's story or planned to investigate the incident.

Kumar said that after finding Bhuri, relatives pulled the train's emergency brake and told railway officials what had happened. A search was quickly organized, and guards at one of the stations the train had passed soon found the baby.


"She was on the rail track for almost 1 1/2 to two hours," said Dr. Gautam Jain, a pediatrician at Rajasthan Hospital in Ahmadabad, in the western state of Gujarat, where the baby and mother were taken.

The child, who has not yet been named, was eight to 10 weeks premature and weighed only 3.22 pounds, Jain said. She had a low heart rate and body temperature.

"We do not expect such children to survive," Jain said.

The baby will have stories to tell.

Wow, how bazarre. That mother and the child are very lucky that they baby didn't die especially considering the baby's health doesn't seem too well.

[xpeed]

We'll see if the baby survives past 3 weeks.

[Jetstorm]

Holy shit, that is crazy. I hope that baby can survive somehow. >_<

[Karin Maaka]

What's almost as shocking as the baby falling onto the tracks is the fact that
the toilets have holes and the waste falls on the tracks... :|

Secondly, if your water is breaking, why would you use a toilet?
(I find it kind of hard to understand how you wouldn't realize you were going through labor.)

[Moonshine]

Wow, the fact that the baby survived is surprising. I hope the baby doesn't die after surviving that.

[Dionysus]

India is rife with people shitting anywhere they please in public. So shit falling to the tracks is not so strange.

Anyways, India could so with a lower birth rate, so I'll take a heartless stance on this.

[Payapaya]

Was the train moving, if it was it had to be going pretty slow. Or that baby is made of something else. I expect great things from that baby if/when she grows up. :amuse

[Silver Reflection]

I wonder how fast the train was moving when the baby fell onto the tracks.It's amazing that it survived the fall let alone being unattended to for over an hour after being born.

[Ooter]

Train probably moved slow meh.... Hope the kid survives.

[Sasuke]

Unbelieveable, lol.

[saruichi]

I hope good things happen to that child, despite it's crazy entrance into the world.

As a mother though, I find that absolutely disturbing that the child's mother did not realize she was in labor or ANYTHING, and then the baby falls onto train tracks, How on earth did it land on the tracks? You know, she coulda got off the toilet, grabbed the baby, held it to her tummy and went out and asked for help (the baby is still attached to you until the cord is cut/placenta comes out) How could she not feel a baby passing through her!... man, the last few months I couldn't seem to escape testing at the hospital to make sure that me and my daughter were doing well, and believe me, when I was starting to go into labor, I KNEW IT. (Heck I was ten minutes apart contracting and trying to do dishes because I didn't want to come home to my child's father complaining about the sink! lol) Then again, there are some women who don't even know they are pregnant, let alone feel contractions... if her child gets the proper medical care, they will likely make it. I remember getting lectured every prenatal visit in my last trimester about the signs of labor....

Oh and btw, I can kinda get going to the bathroom when you think your water breaks. Anyone who is a mother would know what I mean.

[Distracted]

Whew, for a minute I thought they were talking about my birth.

[drache]

Lucky baby.

The woman's story is a little sucpisious, why didn't she call for help? I mean okay so she misinterputed her water breaking that's understandable but what about the labor? Then again as this was premature maybe there was no labor.

In the end at least the baby's alright.

[Misha-San]

Wow the poor baby

[element_fighter]

I really hope the baby lasts, poor thing.

[choclate28]

Aw, poor baby.
Well, I hope that the baby survives!

[colours]

I'm surprised the baby survived that.

[Byakkö]

This reminds me of that story where some lady gave birth without knowing, while walking down the street.


The baby was stuck in her pant legs :|

[Jin-E]

Kinda sucks since the baby will likely die soon anyway:(

[The Pink Ninja]

Wow o___O

And FYI, some women can give birth without really realizing they are. Some women have even given birth without realizing they were pregnant.

Whew, for a minute I thought they were talking about my birth.

No one else is biting, but I will.

Tell us more :huh

[Violent Man]

Just saw this on the news, and according to them the baby is in stable condition and should be just fine.

[Distracted]

And FYI, some women can give birth without really realizing they are. Some women have even given birth without realizing they were pregnant.

AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - A newborn baby girl survived an ignoble birth after slipping down the toilet bowl of a moving Indian train onto the tracks when a pregnant woman unexpectedly gave birth while relieving herself on Tuesday.


"My delivery was so sudden," said the Bhuri Kalbi, the mother of the infant, born two months prematurely. "I did not even realize that my child had slipped from the hole in the toilet."

Kalbi, a 33-year-old woman from a village in Rajasthan, fainted on the toilet seat after the birth for a few minutes before waking up and alerting her family.

"They stopped the train and ran on the tracks to find the baby," she said, speaking from her hospital bed in the western city of Ahmedabad.

Railway staff at a nearby station were alerted and soon found the newborn girl lying uninjured on pebbles by the track. She is now in intensive care because of her premature birth, doctors said.

Most toilets on Indian trains are filthy chutes emptying directly onto the tracks.



(@_@) I can think of many witty things to say, but they would all be tasteless.

She's lucky it turned out well...And this is something you never want to tell the baby in the future.

[Amaretti]

[Black_Tulip]

wow. i hope the baby stays alive.

[Kaitlyn]

Wow, If I were born in a train toilet, than no one would allow me to live it down...

[Fojos]

Sounds more like she wanted the baby to die tbh.
