Florida Mom Mistakes Labor Pains For Bad Chinese Food

A Florida woman awoke to what she believed was a case of food poisoning following a takeout order of General Tso’s chicken, but instead.... she ended up with an unexpected baby in arms three hours later.

Crystal Gail Amerson, 29, thought the intense stomach pains that woke her up early Sunday morning were a case of food poisoning. Amerson was unaware that she was actually 37 weeks pregnant. 

An ambulance arrived hours later, as the pain escalated. Her second son, 19-inch, 5-pound Oliver James, soon entered the world in the back of the ambulance en route to the hospital.

Amerson says she’s never felt many pregnancy symptoms and didn’t notice much weight gain.

Although the Chinese food was absolved of blame, Amerson says she may never look at it the same way again.
