[4] On June 6, 1997, Drexler gave birth in a bathroom stall at her senior prom, twenty minutes after complaining of stomach cramps in the car she had arrived in.

When Drexler and her friends were asked by teachers about the blood in the bathroom, she replied that she was having a heavy menstrual period.
