    Default Woman complaining of hernia delivers ten pound baby girl

    Didn't know she was pregnant

    Linda Ackley went to Allegiance Health Friday morning thinking she had a hernia. By Friday night, she gave birth to a 10-pound baby.

    “Some people have nine months to prepare. I had (15) hours,” her husband, Mike, said on Monday, Feb. 11. Unaware of her pregnancy until the day she delivered, Linda Ackley, 44, of Summit Township underwent an emergency C-section on Friday, Feb. 8.
    Mom, dad, and baby are doing well.

    Hernia sounds like a lovely name too.

    I saw a similar story on Discovery Health a few years ago. It was a tear jerker.

    He and his wife have been married for 24 years. They met at Jackson High School and became a couple when he was a junior and she was a sophomore.

    They imagined children were impossible; they had not taken measures to protect against pregnancy and the babies never came.
    What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing

    "Imagining children are impossible" is one of the least effective methods of birth control, I'd wager.
