The homeless woman who gave birth early Monday morning in Golden Gate Park didn't think she was pregnant, despite the insistence of her partner to the contrary. So reports Bay City News, which notes the 33-year-old mother delivered her child in a small shelter behind the Rose Garden.

"I was just in denial," Malina Berman explained. "I would not believe it." Her partner of seven months apparently tried to convince Berman that she was indeed pregnant, but Berman says she waved away the symptoms as digestive problems and simple weight gain.

After delivering the child, her partner ran to find either a phone — they didn't have a charged one — or a taxi to take them to the hospital. Officials with the Fire Department received a call at roughly 4 a.m. yesterday alerting them to the delivery, and were able to locate Berman and her daughter in the park. "She was in the bushes behind the Rose Garden and she did not appear to be out for a walk,” SFFD spokesperson Lt. Jonathan Baxter told the Chronicle.

The two were transported to California Pacific Medical Center on California Street, and officials say Berman is in "fair condition."

Berman and her unnamed partner had been planning to head to Santa Cruz for work, she said, but now are looking for housing in San Francisco. She has named her daughter "Hillary."

“It was phenomenal,” Berman told Bay City News. “I was totally in shock, but it was also one of the most miraculous things I ever experienced.”
