A 27-year-old Canadian woman, Carolina Moreno, shared her shocking experience of giving birth while asleep during induced labour.She was admitted to hospital for a planned induction after testing positive for Group B Streptococcus (GBS).Doctors administered antibiotics, broke her water, and induced labour with Pitocin.As contractions became painful, Moreno requested an epidural, which eventually made her fall asleep from exhaustion.While she slept, nurses monitored the baby's heartbeat but couldn't detect it for several minutes.

When Moreno turned on her back, the nurse noticed her stomach felt odd and discovered the baby had already been born, lying face down under the blanket.The nurse stimulated the newborn until he cried and confirmed he was healthy.Moreno described the incident as traumatic despite the baby being born in perfect health.The baby, now three months old, is thriving and the calmest of her three children.The incident highlights the unexpected nature of childbirth and the importance of medical vigilance.
