UPDATE: SHE LIED - SHE KNEW SHE WAS PREGNANT - Negro Welfare Breeder Braeley Pettigrew, a high school junior from Racine, Wisconsin, thought she was having a painful bowel movement when she gave birth to a baby boy - she now gets a free monthly check, free insurance and free everything else!

A 17-year-old girl says she didn't know she was pregnant for a full nine months, before she unexpectedly gave birth to a baby boy while going to the bathroom.

Braeley Pettigrew, a high school junior from Racine, Wisconsin, felt sick early Tuesday morning so she went to the bathroom.

The teen thought she was having a bad bowel movement but she was shocked when she looked down in the toilet to see a baby boy.

'What was going through my mind was to make sure he was OK and to get him out and put a towel around him and cut the umbilical cord. But I was also scared,' Pettigrew told WISN. 'I didn’t know what to do. I was in shock.'

Pettigrew says she didn't know she was pregnant, and didn't know how her mother was going to respond, so she wrapped the baby boy up and then pretended that he had been abandoned at their doorstep.

Her mother saw the blood on her daughter's clothes though and knew something was wrong, so she called the police and the new mother and son were taken to the hospital.

The little boy is currently in the NIC-U at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare.
