AHMADABAD, India (AP) -- A newborn baby girl fell through the toilet in a moving train and onto the tracks moments after her mother prematurely gave birth, surviving nearly two hours before being found, relatives said Thursday.

The child's mother, who uses the single name Bhuri, was traveling with relatives on an overnight train when she went to the bathroom shortly before midnight Tuesday and unexpectedly gave birth to a baby girl, said Arjun Kumar, her brother-in-law.

"Later, she fell unconscious and the baby fell through the toilet," he continued. "Two stations later, we knocked at the door."

Bhuri opened the door, soaked in blood.

2. Wow

What a grand entry into the world.

As if the birth canal wasn't rough enough.

Amazing she survived.

Hope all will be well for them.

3. Now that's what I call a woman who doesn't complain

Babies are very resilent regardless of their parents.

4. I wonder if it bounced around underneath by the umbilical cord for a while...

I'm gonna have to go ahead and call bullshit on this story, m'kay?

6. The story does seem unbelievable...

it doesn't seem possible the premature baby could survive a fall onto the tracks and not be found for almost two hours. How could the mother not know she was having labor pains. I have to go along with you and call BS on this story.
