A nun in an Italian convent went to the hospital with what she thought were stomach pains — and ended up giving birth.

The 31-year-old Roxana Rodriguez insisted she didn’t know she was pregnant. “It’s not possible, I’m a nun,” she allegedly told doctors in Rieta.

She said she was in her convent in Campomoro when she felt stomach cramps and was rushed to a hospital in the nearby city of Rieti, AFP reports. She ended up giving birth to a boy.

“It would be preferable that she now lead a secular life with her baby, away from religious institutions,” a spokesman for the local bishop said.

Her fellow nuns back at the “Little Disciples of Jesus” convent said they were “very surprised” about all this. And the convent’s mother superior, Sister Erminia, said, “It seems she was not able to resist temptation.” You said it, Sister.
