A WOMAN rushed to hospital with tummy trouble, fearing she had eaten a dodgy kebab, was shocked to give birth instead, a British newspaper reported today.
Helen Smitham, 25, of Distington in northwest England, had no idea she was pregnant when she complained of feeling a bit rough – with an iffy kebab thought to blame.

Her mother rushed her to the nearby West Cumberland Hospital where she gave birth so quickly that doctors did not even have time to tell her she was expecting.

Her baby son Deaton was born on December 24 weighing four pounds and 11 ounces (2.1kg) said The Sun, Britain's biggest-selling daily.

"I had absolutely no idea," a stunned Ms Smitham said.

"When I had stomach pains I thought it was the kebab. At the hospital there was no time for the doctors to see me before it all happened."

Ms Smitham's boyfriend Mark Askew, 41, was also flabbergasted.

"She was at work until the Friday before Christmas and we'd gone out and done the normal things, like going out for a drink, Christmas parties and socialising.

"When I got a call to say we had a baby boy it was amazing."

Thats not going to be fun trying to explain to the kid.

wait so she was pregnant for a full 9 months or was the baby born pre-maturely?

How do you not notice menstruation for nine months?

Remember the south park where Kenny had a tampon up his ass for awhile?

Wow... just wow. But seriously, how can she not know for nine months

Unless it was borne prematurely... which is still a bad excuse.

I understand that for very athletic women, it can be common to miss periods just because. And at four pounds eleven, you're dealing with quite a tiny baby, so it's probably premature. "Normal" is around seven to eight pounds.

But man... what a thing to have to explain to Mom. And what a way to have to explain it!

My girlfriend says that in her school they were told that ~10% of women don't realise that they're pregnant until they give birth.

There was also an Eastenders storyline like this - Sonya gave birth on the sofa despite not realising she was pregnant.
