A family in Taiwan has been left in shock after only discovering that their Indonesian domestic worker was pregnant when she gave birth in their bed.
The family from northern Taiwan’s Hsinchu posted on Facebook that the domestic helper they hired to take care of their grandmother five months ago was pregnant without them knowing, according to the Taiwan news outlet The Storm Media.
They posted surveillance video footage showing the worker giving birth while on the elderly woman’s bed on September 11.
The grandmother was sitting in a wheelchair with her back to the bed while the worker delivered the baby on her own.
She appears to have had no knowledge of the pregnancy until hearing a baby’s cry and turns her head to check in shock.
The poster said they did not know about the pregnancy because the law does not require a pre-employment pregnancy test from migrant workers living in Taiwan, and she had been wearing baggy clothes to hide her bump.
