Photo of multitasking mother finishing finals while in labour goes viral

They say mums don’t remember the pain of childbirth once it’s over - but what about the pain of finals?

One new mum showed her determination, and extremely high pain threshold, when she accomplished both at the same time.

Nayzia Thomas, a sophomore studying psychology at Johnson County Community College in Kansas, Missouri, was hoping to finish her finals before her new baby arrived - but her son decided to come during finals instead.

In a photo posted to Twitter that has now gone viral, a very pregnant Thomas sits in her hospital bed surrounded by textbooks and her laptop. According to the tweet, Nayzia’s mum took the photo of her daughter in labour using the time before her baby’s entry into the world to finish up her finals.

Captioned, “My mom took this picture and it’s the perfect explanation of my life. Yes, I’m about to have a baby but finals season ain't over yet,” the photo shows Thomas looking calm as she finishes up her finals, proving she’s one tough mum.
