BriAnna Blanton resides in South Carolina. The day she gave birth, she was awakened by severe pain. With the agony intensifying, she roused her mother and requested to be taken to the hospital.

The teenager was unaware of her pregnancy, but how could this be?

The teenager believed her pain was attributed to a kidney stone issue. Nonetheless, upon examination, doctors discovered that she was dilated about 2 inches and soon to deliver.

A reporting by Mirror discloses BriAnna Blanton had no inkling that she could be pregnant. The teenager, aged 18, had not put on any weight, and all the pregnancy tests she had taken were negative. She was able to comfortably ride horses during the holidays and continued to have regular menstrual cycles.

It also went unnoticed among those around the teenager that she could be pregnant. Even though BriAnna regularly appeared in a bikini and crop tops throughout the summer holiday, no physical changes were detected.

Just after administering anesthesia to BriAnna Blanton, the 18-year-old had already given birth before it took effect. The unexpected mother was absolutely unprepared for the infant’s arrival, both emotionally and practically. She didn’t have essentials like diapers, baby clothes, a cradle, or even a buggy. Thankfully, she could rely on the kind support from her family and the church community she is affiliated with.

BriAnna gave birth to a baby girl, whom she named Oakleigh. She concedes that although her daughter's arrival was unexpected, she is overjoyed to have become a mother.
