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.

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.

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
