"The first time it went off, I found it unusual. Then the second time might happen around ten minutes later, and the third might happen around thirty minutes later. The third time it rang, I realised there was a problem "IANS cited Kelly's statement.


Kelly made the decision to go to the hospital, where she unexpectedly learned that she was in labour and suffering from placenta abruption, a pregnancy complication. She was losing blood and her blood pressure was falling.


Kelly later gave birth to a healthy baby girl who she named Shelby Marie.
