Rahman originally told investigators that the baby was alive and moving before she cut the umbilical cord, but after she cut it herself it stopped moving. A man who is apparently her father said 'this is just a minor case'
Nausheen Rahman, 28, did not get bail because her attorney declined to request it after prosecutors described the case as 'so horrendous and reprehensible, it's mind-blowing', according to PIX 11.
She was not aware that the sex of the baby was a girl because she threw the baby in a trash bag so quickly that she didn't take the time to look at the child and assumed it was a boy, according to the district attorney.
Rahman allegedly lied to her parents and family about being pregnant and they said they were unaware.
Rahman was given no bail and her lawyer didn't ask for it. The baby was found by cops 'with her thumb next to her mouth' outside her condominium, where she disposed of it. Pictured is the scene where the newborn's body was discovered
A man, who appeared to be Rahman's father refused to comment when asked about the mother's condition, but then he told PIX 11 that 'it's a minor case anyway'.
The man was in court with a woman who was similar in age to show support for Rahman, and it's thought that they were her parents.
A judge ordered her to remain behind bars until her trial for murder.

She was initially charged with concealment of a human corpse before the body of the dead newborn baby was found outside her condominium around 11.30am on Saturday, but prosecutors upped the charge when the medical examiner confirmed the baby had been alive.
A medical examiner determined that the baby was alive and did have air in its lungs before it was thrown in the trash.

Neighbors said Rahman has lived with her family for several years at the condominium
Though Rahman kept her pregnancy a secret, she did visit a doctor at least once during her pregnancy.
The New York Police Department said officers responded to a 911 call at the home on Richmond Hill Road in the New Springville neighborhood.
The condominium is just a few blocks from the Staten Island Mall. Police found the newborn baby unconscious and unresponsive.
Emergency crews pronounced the child dead at the scene.
Rahman went to Staten Island University Hospital Friday evening and told staff that she was bleeding as a result of giving birth, police said.
The hospital had no record of her birth and she explained that the infant was born at home and that she had disposed of it.
After hours of questioning, Rahman said she gave birth but the baby had died and she admitted to throwing the child in the trash before going to the hospital.
Neighbors said Rahman has lived with her family for several years at the condominium.
Officers found the unconscious infant at about 11.30am on Saturday outside her apartment in the Honey Bee Condominiums
She originally told hospital staff that she gave birth five days prior and 'threw away' the baby, but she later changed her story and said she gave birth Thursday. Rahman is pictured being arrested by police
