pregnant gave birth in Italy this week after she felt
stomach cramps in her convent and was rushed to hospital,
Italian media reported on Friday.
The 31-year-old mother and her baby boy, who weighs 3.5
kilograms (9 pounds), are doing well and other new
mothers in Rieti hospital have begun collecting clothes and
donations for her, the reports said.
"I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach
pain," the nun was quoted as saying at the hospital, the
Italian news agency ANSA reported. Continue...
La Repubblica said she gave birth on Wednesday.
ANSA said the nun had named her baby Francesco (Francis)
-- also the pope's chosen title and one of the most popular
names in Italy, where St Francis of Assisi is the much-loved
national patron saint.
The hospital could not be reached for comment.
The nun belongs to the "Little Disciples of Jesus" convent in
Campomoro near Rieti, which manages an old people's home
and reports said she would keep the baby.
Her fellow nuns were quoted saying they were "very
surprised".
