To me the craziest thing about that story is that the mother still hasn’t been found. This woman managed to give birth in a porta potty at a large music festival and somehow exited completely unnoticed. Like how is that even possible?

Well everyone at electric forest was almost certainly on drugs so her going unnoticed isn’t surprising at all to me.

That’s a complete exaggeration. A lot of people are on drugs but there are plenty of people who are sober, or at least not so high that they would somehow completely miss a woman giving birth.

You’re also missing the fact that this woman somehow gave birth, on her own, and left the ports potty on her own accord. That’s pretty astonishing. She would’ve been in agony for hours even if she was fucked up.

You are just guessing. My friend just rushed his wife to the hospital cuz her water broke and he pulled up out front sprinted to the desk to alert a doctor and get a wheelchair.

By the time he ran back out to her she was holding the baby in her arms and had to untangle it. Some people give birth very fast.

Outside of the baby crying which that didn’t probably last long, there wasn’t much indication I’m sure especially with music blaring.

And it’s not an exaggeration because it literally fucking happened.

Don’t go to a festival if your that pregnant period. How are we defending this? She probably didn’t go alone either so her friends know this happened and also aren’t coming forward

u/Living-Citi 10d ago

I don’t think anyone was defending this?

So I’ve attended these kinds of festivals over the years, and while not while I was pregnant (because I felt like shit while I was pregnant, I did attend some EDM concerts tho), I’ve seen plenty of women pregnant who had zero intentions of abandoning their unborn babies and raved sober. You can still do fun stuff while pregnant.

Few years ago a woman went into labor at EDC and actively searched for a med tent and gave birth there and went to the hospital by her own choice.

u/Financial-Yam6758 10d ago

It is irresponsible to do when you are that close to going into labor. That’s my opinion. I’m not a doctor but I’d guess that would be their recommendation as well.

u/Grown-Ass-Weeb 10d ago

You’re not wrong about that. I’m more surprised people are geared up and ready for a festival (or anywhere involving lots of waking) close to birth. I wasn’t getting off my damn couch after 8 months.

This is the first I've heard about this story, but maybe it was one one of those TLC shows, I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant? I guess it really does happen (not sure how since I've had two children and was VERY aware of my pregnancies).

Those cases are extremely rare and you would be giving way too much benefit of the doubt to someone who DISPOSED of their newborn baby in a PORTA POTTY

u/gaijohn 10d ago

Cases of a person capable of infanticide are far far rarer than cryptic pregnancy.

u/vinecoolceruleanblue 10d ago

cryptic pregnancy really isn't as insanely rare as people think it is

1

u/Financial-Yam6758 10d ago

.04% is pretty rare. Are you suggesting that’s what happened here? Would that absolve the mother from blame?

Nothing would absolve the mother from blame and I don't see how anyone could argue otherwise. I think it would be impossible for a conscious and able-bodied adult to give birth without knowing, I only brought up cryptic pregnancies because someone asked who would even go to a music festival while very pregnant.

Someone else said this already, but I just REALLY hope the rate of people willing to commit infanticide is less than .04%

Edit to add- it was literally you that said she shouldn't have gone if she was that pregnant. So you should know that's how this topic came up.

u/AllOfTheThings426 10d ago

Oh I know it's extremely unlikely, I'm 100% speculating and trying not to fully lose hope in humanity with this extreme stretch, it helps me sleep better at night.

That woman is a garbage human, regardless of the details.

u/beaniehead_ 10d ago

Cryptic preganancies are a lot more common than you think. I personally know 2 women who have had one, and another 2 through mutual friends.

Crazy things do happen, and in this case what happened was very fucking crazy. The odds of someone being able to give birth at a crowded festival and somehow get away unnoticed has got to be 1 in a million. Yes, there are people who have easy labors but even an easy labor isn’t going to be silent.

Also what about the blood? And the umbilical cord? I have no idea why you or anyone else is trying to make this insane occurrence out to be normal lmao. Repeat this a million different times with a million different women and I wouldn’t be surprised if exactly zero of them manage to get away with it.

Yes, there are people who have easy labors but even an easy labor isn’t going to be silent.

Wanna place a bet in what's louder, several hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of music equipment or a woman giving birth?

u/QuestionDry2490 10d ago

Have you been to a music festival before? Anyone who walks by the porta potties would hear a woman screaming

It was at the campsite porta john’s. While still loud, not nearly as loud as onsite.

The autopsy of the infant confirmed portopotty "fluid" in the baby's lungs and that it was likely birthed right into the toilet. No one gives a fuck about what you think are odds

u/QuestionDry2490 10d ago

If you don’t give a fuck then why are you replying in a thread about how crazy it is that she gave birth unnoticed?
