Utah Woman Doctors Said Was Infertile Gives Birth Hours After Learning She Was Pregnant: 'It's a Miracle,' Husband Says

A medical emergency turned into a miracle for a Utah woman who gave birth just hours after learning she was pregnant.

Brooke Williams' husband Calvin rushed her to the hospital early Sunday after the 26-year-old suffered several seizures. A blood test soon revealed that Brooke, who had been told she was infertile due to childhood treatments for brain cancer, was 35 weeks pregnant.

"I just honestly stared at her and didn't know," Calvin, 27, of Provo, Utah told WTHR of receiving the news that he would be a father.

As soon as Brooke's condition stabilized, doctors performed a C-section and the couple welcomed a healthy baby girl.



"It's crazy, it's a miracle," he said. "Their words that without any prenatal care being a month early, she's 5 pounds 8 ounces, 18 inches long and she's great."

Calvin added that he understood why some people might be skeptical about how he and his wife could have missed any and all signs of pregnancy.

"She never had any sickness. She never felt her stomach move. Me and my wife are the ones that make fun of those people," he said with a laugh.

In addition to the fact that doctors told Brooke that she was infertile, Brooke has always had irregular periods, a family member explained on GoFundMe.

Brooke and Calvin were so certain that they wouldn't be able to conceive on their own they were in the process of adopting.

Both mother and daughter are doing well and in a few days the parents will be able to bring home their 'miracle.'

Friends of the family have set up a GoFundMe page to help the couple meet the costs of their sudden and unexpected delivery.
