An adulterous affair inflated her stomach

An adulterous affair inflated her stomach

This is what most adults would think, myself included.

But brace yourself for a shocking disappointment.

This was not how she was impregnated. It must have been quite an anti-climax for some.

She actually got pregnant through In vitro fertilization (IVF)! Probably the first version of IVF.

Just kidding.

According to the official documentary source, how the woman got pregnant would most likely blow your mind! Would you be able to stomach it?

This is the official account:

Matthew 1:18-25 English Standard Version (ESV)
The Birth of Jesus Christ
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
    and they shall call his name Immanuel”

(which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
