A 44-year-old Michigan woman went to her local hospital for abdomen
pains. Fifteen hours later, Linda Ackley was a first time mom.
Turns out the suspected “hernia” was a baby girl ready to make her
big debut. According to mylive. Ackley was completely clueless about her
pregnancy until she and her husband, Mike, went to the hospital.
The couple had long believed they could not get pregnant. Linda
hadn’t experienced significant weight gain and her menstrual periods had
“always been irregular” according to News.
When Linda arrived at the hospital complaining of bloating of her
abdomen, doctors thought it may be a hernia and ordered a scan. It was
then that medical staff discovered a full-term baby in the womb.
An emergency C-section was ordered and Kimberley Kay Ackley was born.
“I was happy and shocked at the same time, and scared,” Mike Ackley
told MLive. He said he wished somebody had taken a picture of his face
when he heard that Linda was going to have a baby.
Linda said it was a good thing he was sitting down. “Some people have
nine months to prepare. I had 15 hours,” the new father said. He and
Linda, who met in high school, have been married for 24 years.
In 2011, Linda contracted necrotizing fasciitis, a serious type of
bacterial infection. Mike Ackley told MLive that doctors didn’t think
his wife would live. While the Ackley’s story is spectacular, it isn’t
terribly uncommon.
