A Garden Grove woman is calling her newborn baby the surprise of her life according to NBC4 News.
The 400 pound woman went to the hospital complaining of a pain in her stomach only to find out she was pregnant and the baby was full term.
Only 48 hours later, April Barnum delivered a healthy, seven pound, seven ounce baby boy.
Barnum said she didn't know she was pregnant until doctors told her.
Friends and family have come to aid of Barnum and her fiance, offering them a crib, diapers and other baby necessities according to the NBC4 report.
The Orange County Register reported that doctors saw the baby after an X-ray and sent Barnum to the University of California-Irvine Medical Center.
The baby's lungs were fully developed, the heartbeat was strong and no defects were detected.
Two days later, Walter Scott Edwards III was delivered by Caesarean section.
Barnum and her fiance, Walter Scott Edwards II, said they had no hopes of having any children and had instead spent money on adopting four dogs.
Edwards said he is lucky to have relatives who have come forward bringing the necessary items.
According to doctors, Barnum's weight was responsible for her not realizing she was pregnant. Since her monthly cycle also stopped a few years ago, because of her obesity, she did not have any other way to detect it.
