Dawa Lama, 23, of Nepal, pleaded guilty to manslaughter for dumping newborn daughter in a hospital trash can.

A Queens mom who dumped her newborn daughter in a hospital trash can out of fear her mother would learn of her pregnancy pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge Monday.

Dawa Lama, 23, faces 10 years in prison as part of a plea deal worked out with Queens prosecutors.

During a court appearance, Queens Supreme Court Justice Lenora Gerald told Lama that she’ll be deported to her native Nepal once she finishes her sentence.

Lama listened as Gerald recounted how Lama left the baby girl unattended in a trash can in the emergency room of Elmhurst Hospital Center on May 10. The child survived on life support for a week.
“Is that true?” Gerald asked.

“Yes,” Lama replied.

Sentencing has been set for April 16.
