Obese L.A. Woman's Stomach Ache Is Really A Baby

(AP) LOS ANGELES A 39-year-old Los Angeles area woman went to an emergency room with a stomach ache and ended up with a baby.

Hospital officials said April Barnum didn't know she was pregnant when she came to an emergency room near her home this week, but gave birth to a full-term, 7-pound, 7-ounce boy by C-section.

The 420-pound woman said her size kept her and others from realizing she was carrying the baby.

Barnum said if the baby kicked, she didn't feel it.

Doctors saw the baby when they took X-rays of her abdominal area.

She was sent for prenatal testing, where doctors determined there was a healthy fetus ready to be delivered.

The baby is named Walter Edwards, after Barnum's fiance.
