Oak Forest Woman's Pregnancy Surprise Puts Her on TV
Amanda Usterbowski was surprised by a positive pregnancy test, and her baby's birth the next day. The 21-year-old will appear on TLC's "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant."
Baby Isabella came out perfect, with 10 fingers, 10 toes—and totally unexpected.
Her mother Amanda Usterbowski rushed into the hospital complaining of chest pains on a Saturday and left with a diagnosis she didn't see coming: She was five months pregnant.
That night, after experiencing blood loss in her sleep, she darted back to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed her as in labor. After an emergency C-section, Isabella Rose made her grand entrance on Sunday, Aug. 22, at 2:28 a.m. (8/22, at 2:28).
