Many women carefully prepare for conception, and during pregnancy they carefully listen to themselves and monitor every change in the body. However, it happens that expectant mothers do not notice that they are in a position until the very birth. This happened with 20-year-old Englishwoman Georgia Crowther.
A resident of the English city of Chadderton (Greater Manchester), 20-year-old Georgia Crowther unexpectedly gave birth to a son right at home – before that, she simply complained of abdominal pain.
It happened when the girl, along with her partner, 27-year-old Calvin Home, returned home after meeting with her family. The young people immediately went to bed, but at about three o’clock in the morning Georgia woke up from sharp cramps, as it seemed to her then, in the stomach.
Kelvin tried to call an ambulance for his beloved, but the dispatcher told him that the doctors could only arrive after six hours. The girl had to cope on her own – Home, meanwhile, went down to the first floor to look after their two-year-old daughter.
“I was lying on the bed and suddenly felt that I needed to push. I got on my hands and knees and just clutched at the blanket, ”said Crowther. When Kelvin returned, he found her lying on the floor with a baby in her arms. At 8:05 am, the couple had a son, he was named Vincent.
After some time, the doctors nevertheless arrived, the mother and the child were taken to the hospital. Vincent was diagnosed with an infection and was admitted to the intensive care unit. However, everything ended well – a week later, Crowther and his son returned home.
The Briton said that she struggled with being overweight after her first pregnancy. She constantly felt a strong bloating in her stomach and therefore did not notice that she was expecting a baby.
“I didn’t have my period because I was on contraceptive injections. People told me that I looked like a pregnant woman, and I was very upset. And then, when the baby was born, I thought that maybe that’s why I had a persistent feeling of bloating, ”explained Crowther.
When the couple informed relatives and friends about the unexpected birth of their son, they at first thought it was a prank. However, when it became clear that this was true, relatives supported the newly-made parents and promptly gave them gifts: the necessary clothes and children’s accessories.
Earlier, a similar story happened to 23-year-old American Sally Smith. At the time, she was working in a nightclub. According to her, she did not even suspect that she was expecting a child.
She continued to menstruate, in addition, she did not gain weight at all
“I had no idea I was pregnant! It even seems to me that I even lost weight then, ”she says. At the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, the girl began to suffer from back pain, but she associated them with overwork. The fact is that at work she often had to carry heavy loads, as well as transport goods on a cart, for example, barrels of alcohol.
However, Sally did not attach importance to the nausea that arose after drinking. She did not worry even when it became more difficult for her to walk.
According to Smith, on the eve of the birth, she returned home after a hard shift and went to bed. In the morning she was awakened by a severe pain in her stomach. On the advice of her sister, the girl decided to take a bath. There her water broke. The sisters immediately called an ambulance, but the woman in labor did not have time to get to the hospital. A boy weighing 3,11 kilograms was born in the parking lot near the maternity hospital.
