She gave birth at home, the newborn was in the toilet: "I didn't know I was pregnant."

She didn't know she was pregnant. So, in the stupor of the moment, she gave birth while crouched over the toilet in her home. This is the provisional but highly probable reconstruction of what happened this morning in a house in Ciriè (Turin).

The Carabinieri are handling the case, coordinated by the Ivrea prosecutor's office. The woman is 38 years old.

She reportedly confirmed to rescuers and others who arrived on the scene that she was unaware of the pregnancy and had not realized she was pregnant.

The context of the affair has been described as "difficult" in investigative circles.
