Two sisters discover they are pregnant. Two cases in Sicily

Two cases a few miles away: embarrassment and disturbing questions in Sicily. In Messina, a nun ends up in the hospital and finds out that she is pregnant. According to the Gazzetta del Sud, the nun of African origins turned to the emergency room of the Sant'Agata Militello hospital after suffering severe abdominal pain. Here, the doctors, after completing the usual tests, realized however that a pregnancy was underway, apparently still in its initial phase, of a few weeks. On the case, of course, there is the utmost secrecy, but the religious, writes the newspaper, has been working for years at a college in a small town in the heart of the Nebrodi, and would have been immediately transferred to another location.

"There is regret for what happened. These are displeasing things. Our community of 1,200 inhabitants is baffled. The situation was handled badly and not in a confidential manner," said the mayor of Militello Rosmarino, in the Messina area . The mayor explains how "less than a year ago (the religious, ed) took the vows and always makes us all love each other. Then you go to understand what happened". And he would like to point out that "the Bambin Gesu college is a very serious institution".

The second case concerns a nun originally from Madagascar in service in a town in the Ragusa area. The religious, mother superior of an institution that takes care of elderly care, would have become pregnant about a month ago. According to reports, she would return to her country of origin.
