Amanda Prentice of Tennessee gave birth last week to what she and her husband are calling a "miracle baby" and with good reason! They didn't know she was pregnant until after she had life threatening seizures.

Amanda and her husband Billy tried to get pregnant for years but were unsuccessful. So one can only imagine the shock and excitement last month when doctors informed them that she was pregnant! But no sooner did the couple get the news, she went on to have her daughter, Allie five hours later.

Allie's birthday story started on April 23, 2012 when Amanda began having mysterious seizures. Her husband rushed her to the hospital in Lawrenceburg, TN where doctors felt her life was in danger.

She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Hospital, but they were not prepared for the diagnosis "complications from pregnancy." The couple was shocked. How could that diagnosis be accurate when she was not even pregnant?

Amanda told News 9 in Tennessee, "The doctor came in and said, 'I've got good news and bad news. He said, 'your blood pressure has skyrocketed here in the last few days, but you've got a baby.'" :huh:

Weighing in at five pounds and five ounces, Allie was born healthy. "I never felt her move," Amanda said. "I wore the same clothes that I had worn for two years."

Husband Billy said, "The only signs she had was her feet and ankles had swollen up, and that was it."

The happy family is now receiving congratulatory cards from across the county. "We had been trying for four years and didn't think this was gonna happen," Amanda said. "We had talked about adopting, and now we've got our miracle baby," Bill said.

asymptomatic pregnancy, which does happen to most women. You show no signs, symptoms or physical changes until you actually start going into labor.

No Physical changes?? You mean their stomach stays flat? lol

Yes. they just go on and continue to do the things they normally do daily. creepy isn't it? can be the same thing if your sick too and don't show any signs.

She didn't noticed she missed her period for 9 times in a row!??!

Menstruation can still occur during pregnancy, it's just very rare. I've also heard of a few rare cases where women going through what they believed to be menopausal changes have actually been pregnant. It's not as black and white as you'd imagine.

Baby was little to. Remember that.

True, I've gained 5lbs before and it wasn't noticeable enough for me to be alarmed into thinking I was pregnant. And I'm not even a big person, rather petite. A 5lb baby could just look like some extra pudge round the middle really.

I'm just glad they wanted the kid and it was a happy ending. If this happened to me, I'd be completely devastated, having a kid would be bad enough, but not even having the time to prepare for it? omg.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
