Woman gives birth without even knowing she was pregnant: “Oh my god it’s a baby!”

Pregnancy is an exciting time as you prepare to welcome your precious newborn baby into the world. However for one mum, the arrival of her second child came as a complete shock – particularly as didn’t even know she was pregnant in the first place.

“I really needed to push”

Georgia Crowther was completely unaware that she was nine months pregnant and about to go into labour. She and her partner Calvin Home had just enjoyed a night out with their family when Georgia awoke at 3am experiencing painful stomach cramps.

The couple was told that an ambulance was six hours away so Georgia stayed in bed while Calvin went downstairs to look after their daughter, two-year-old Isla-Mae.

“I had been on the bed and I just felt like I really needed to push,” the mum told the Manchester Evening News. “I got on my hands and knees and was just biting on to the duvet.”

By the time Calvin came upstairs, Georgia had given birth to their son. “When he came up I was on the floor and I had just had the baby,” she reported. “He was on the phone to the ambulance and was like ‘oh my god, it’s a f****** baby.’”

The couple’s son, now named Vincent, arrived at 8.05am, and within 10 minutes, both he and Georgia were taken to hospital. They stayed there for a few days to make sure all was well until finally allowed home to re-unite with dad and big sister.

No pregnancy signs

Georgia had no indication that she was pregnant and, up until the start of her labour, was feeling absolutely fine. Having had a contraception injection, the mum wasn’t having any periods and had also gained a little bit of weight after the birth of her first child. “Since I had my girl I have struggled really badly with my weight and when I was going out I was feeling really bloated,” she said.

Georgia also recalls people actually saying that she looked pregnant. Little did she know that they were telling her the truth. “I would get really upset and then when the baby came out, I was like wow maybe that is why,” she said.

Time to celebrate

While the news was a total shock for Georgia, Calvin and their families, it was also brought great joy. Georgia’s parents were said to be “absolutely over the moon” about their newest grandchild. “There was a lot of swearing when I told my family,” Georgia said. “There was a lot of shock. Everyone thought I was joking at first.”

Naturally, with such short notice, the couple had nothing ready for a newborn, so family and friends organised collections of baby clothes and other necessities to make sure Vincent had everything he needed. “All our families have got together to help as we were not prepared at all,” Georgia said. “We have been given so much stuff it’s incredible.

So while his arrival was unexpected, little Vincent is now certainly making his presence felt – and his mum and dad could not be happier.
