It's a baby, not kidney stone!

A Canadian woman did not know she was pregnant till she delivered a healthy seven-pound baby boy. Thirty-six-year-old Juanita Stead, a native of Newfoundland province, went to hospital with sharp lower back pain, thinking she had kidney stones.
On her X-ray examination, doctors found no signs of kidney stones. Instead she was told that she is pregnant and about to deliver a baby.
"It's no kidney stone. You've got a baby ready to be born,'' doctors told the shocked woman.
"No, that can't happen. You had the wrong X-ray file,'' she said in protest.
But in the next six minutes, she delivered a healthy seven-pound, 12-ounce boy born - at 12:31 a.m. local time on New Year's Day.
Named Nicholas, the boy has become one among the first Canadian babies born in the New Year. Her husband Terry said, Honest to God, I just don't have words to explain it.''
The woman said she never experienced any pregnancy-related symptoms such as morning sickness, kicking in her womb or anything else.
