RACINE, Wis. — A Racine teenager got an unexpected surprise when she went to use the bathroom Tuesday morning and gave birth to a baby boy in the toilet. Braeley Pettigrew, 17, claims she had no idea she was pregnant.
The teen thought she was having a bowel movement, but when she looked down, a baby was in the toilet. She became scared, cut the umbilical cord and wrapped the baby up.
Pettigrew told her mom someone left the baby on the porch, but when her mom noticed blood on the teen’s clothes, she called police.
The teen and baby were rushed to the hospital where the child is in the NIC-U. Both mom and baby are doing well.
