Pregnant women unsure of how close they are to giving birth sometimes unexpectedly go into labor while going to the bathroom. But what happens when the toilet is on a train? Bhuri Kalbi of Rajasthan, India, went into labor while relieving herself in a train bathroom in 2008 - and her baby slipped down the toilet bowl and onto the tracks. "My delivery was so sudden," Kalbi, 33 at the time, told Reuters Health. "I did not even realize that my child had slipped from the hole in the toilet." Once Kalbi had realized what happened, officials stopped the train and the newborn girl was found lying uninjured on pebbles by the track. The baby, who was immediately brought to the hospital, was born two months prematurely.
