This Woman Didn’t Know She Was Pregnant Until She Gave Birth On Her Way To Germany

Yep, the story only gets wilder.

Freeman is a member of the U.S. Air Force and shared her son’s incredible birth story via a twitter thread. What starts as a flight from the U.S. to Turkey ends with a newborn.

Even though she only realised she was pregnant in her third trimester, Freeman was in denial. Her contraceptive pill hinders her menstrual cycle which is why it wasn’t an obvious indicator earlier. With a March trip to Germany in motion, she was on board … literally.

I still really don’t understand what’s so shocking about my delivery story. Lol maybe it’ll set in one day.

I didn’t know I was pregnant for awhile (already in my 3rd trimester) and before you ask the birth control I was on made it so I didn’t have a cycle every month. So not having a period wasn’t an indicator for me. On top of that I didnt really gain any weight.

So then I’m in denial for another month after that like there’s no way a Bitch is preggo. At this point I’m working in VA and away from everyone so I just decided not to tell anyone. My dumbass was like maybe it’ll just go away… pic.twitter.com/TtSMTqc7Ln

Freeman underwent severe cramps amid her flight and thought it was the cause of food poisoning from the plane food. Once she landed for her stopover in Istanbul, she knew the pain was serious. However, she still went through customs like a regular passenger without seeking any help.

So anyway I make it until we land but when I wake up the cramps have gotten worse and I’m like okay I just want to make it to my hotel. Its my layover and I’m only here (Istanbul, Turkey) for 17hrs. But getting through customs took FOREVVVVVVVERRRRR pic.twitter.com/VUFDhyrCR1

Freeman, like the rest us, took to Google for symptoms and self-diagnosis. She decided to stick it out until she arrived at the hotel room. By then, she was definitely in labour. Once again, she turned to the internet for help. This time, with a YouTube tutorial on birth delivery.

I make it to my hotel & now I’m sure I’m in labor. There is no way in the world I’m not in labor because I can barely standup at this point. So I’m in a foreign country, where no one speaks english, I don’t know this country’s emergency number, & I have no clue what to do. pic.twitter.com/sk6k10zdu5

It’s weird how focused a person becomes when they’re adrenaline starts going. Because at no point ever did I freak out. Like I just did what I had to do.

So anyway. I strip down and climb in the tub. The internet said there were a couple positions that people find the most comfortable. I picked the one that worked for me and I was like okay BOOM let’s birthed this baby. pic.twitter.com/I6BabFMcCD

Freeman was ready to push…

Luckily it happened pretty quickly. I only had to push about 5-6x before a baby popped out. Lol now let me tell you babies are buoyant. That little joker said bloop and floated right on up to the top of the water 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/IuqwKXFb2L

Freeman literally carried out her whole delivery experience via direction from Google. She birthed her placenta and read on the correct way to cut an umbilical cord. Medical equipment? A knife she had packed with her luggage and two shoelaces she sanitised with boiling water from the hotel room’s tea kettle.

As crazy as this story sounds, Freeman remained unphased. She cleaned up, breastfed her son and went to bed!

So I clean up the bathroom, breastfeed my baby, and go to sleep. No I do not go to the hospital I take my ass to bed. 😂😂 so the next day I wake up for and get ready to go to the airport because I already paid for the cab the night before & even though I knew I couldn’t fly out

It was not until the following day that Freeman received airport guidance. We’ll let her tweets explain the rest of this wild adventure.

Warning: there is no anti-climax.

To wrap up I go to the hospital get checked out everything is fine. He’s perfectly healthy! Lol the doctors were shocked to hear my story. I made national news & people would stop us to take pictures all the time & a random elderly woman grabbed my boob as I was breastfeeding pic.twitter.com/gGp4lJvEvl

Because she was showing me the correct way to do it 😂. Because I gave them so much publicity Turkish Airlines paid for my hotel stay for two weeks, comped all my meals, upgrade @BBills_ & my return flights to business class and we enjoyed the lavish business lounge. The end 😂

Freeman told The Independent that despite the wild story of her son’s birth, she’s learned a lot from this experience.

“I learned how to be resourceful and calm under pressure. I was able to bond one-on-one with my son from his first breaths.”

Btw Xavier turned 7 weeks old today!!! pic.twitter.com/s1iHpNiUI9
