Woman gives birth not knowing she was pregnant

PROVO, UT (KSL) — Calvin and Brook Williams walked through the doors at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center on Sunday with just two members of their family.

They will be walking out with three later this week.


It all started Sunday morning when Brook suffered seizures. The couple rushed to the hospital only to find out what triggered them was the biggest surprise of their lives.

Brook was pregnant, even though she’d been told she would never have children of her own.

“When Brook was a little girl, she had a brain tumor and they told her that she of course wouldn’t be able to have kids,” Calvin Williams said.

In the blink of an eye, that all changed. Their new baby girl is proving doctors wrong.

“So they did blood work. The guy came back and said … ‘This level is common with someone who is pregnant,'” Williams said. “It’s crazy, it’s a miracle. Without any prenatal care, being a month early. She’s 5 pounds 8 ounces, 18 inches long and she’s great.”

Williams said there are people who are skeptical about his wife not knowing she was pregnant, but he believes her 100 percent.

“She never had any sickness. She never felt her stomach move,” Williams said. “Me and my wife are the ones that make fun of those people.”
