The 24-year-old mother of three other children was having intense pain that day, so she decided to lay down until it subsided, but when it struck again, she decided to jump in the shower.
That is when, just five minutes later, she suddenly gave birth to a healthy baby girl whom she has named Miracle.
The Des Moines Register reports that while Young did know she was pregnant, she did not know just how far along she was with her new baby, thinking she was only 12 weeks along at the time.
As for the speedy labor, that is likely due to the fact that Young has had three other labors in just the past few years.
"I've been in shock for the last couple of days, because I didn't expect a full-term baby," Young said.
"With my other kids, I had like three or four pushes. And with her it was just one and she was there.
"This baby's eyes were open; she was just sitting there staring at me. She didn't cry or anything. I was in shock. I was like, there's a baby here."
Young asked a friend in the living room to call an ambulance. The police report says police found Young's friend holding the child, and Young was in the shower. They were both taken to Mercy Medical Center.
