Why are the news reports not about a woman pregnant while in coma?
How did the staff keep this from the press and her family throughout the pregnancy?

How did she "give" birth? A C-section?

Big coverup going on here.

Okay, so if "supposedly" no one knew she was pregnant, then the baby was a vaginal birth. Her body did the work to deliver.

Dilation and contractions are not voluntary actions, but a comatose woman would not be able to help with the delivery by "pushing." Women do give birth under general anesthesia under certain conditions.
