A woman, after hiding her unwanted pregnancy from colleagues and friends, gave birth in her lunch break in a field before returning to work and abandoning the baby girl.

Her manager spotted blood on her clothes, refused to accept her claims that she was fine, and took her to hospital where doctors discovered she had been pregnant.

Jolanta Czarnecka, 30, first told doctors she had the baby by accident and it had been sucked down a toilet at her work.

However, after detectives found no evidence of childbirth in the toilet or the pipes, Czarnecka admitted to actually giving birth in a nearby field in Ilawa, Poland.




The abandoned baby girl was found two days after her birth later severely dehydrated and covered in insects.

The attending doctor, Dr Barbara Chomik, described the baby’s condition: ‘She had been left alone naked and weighed less than a kilogram in part because she was so severely dehydrated.

‘It is a miracle that she survived under those conditions for so long, it is simply a miracle.’

Czarnecka is currently standing trial for the attempted murder of her daughter and could face up to five years in prison.
