Some Major Pains Turn Into An All-Out Delivery

Imagine going about your weeks not knowing your pregnant only to be left with another kid added to your family.

This is what happened to Sarah Bailey of North Yorkshire, England, according to Metro. The 29-year-old was experiencing pain one day, but instead of attributing it to contractions, she thought it was all just constipation. She asked her mother Pat to go to the store to buy some laxatives, but obviously this didn’t fix the problem.

Sarah’s pain became unbearable, which led her to the toilet. She felt a desire to push whatever was inside of her out, but she became increasingly concerned when she started losing a lot of blood. When she asked her mom to check what was going on down there, that’s when they realized…a baby was coming out.

When they realized a baby was arriving, Pat alerted Sarah’s husband David downstairs and he called the ambulance. “I’d had no idea I was pregnant, let alone seconds away from giving birth,” Sarah said. “When Desirae was born, I felt guilty that I’d been drinking and running around on my feet all day as normal while I’d not known she was there.”

Eesh.

Once baby Desirae was born, she stopped breathing. Fortunately, the paramedics were able to resuscitate her.

“I asked the doctors if it was my fault she hadn’t been breathing at first, but they said it was just that her body had gone into shock,” said Sarah.

The mother of three didn’t know she was pregnant mainly because she hadn’t gained any considerable weight. She was still able to fit in her size 10 jeans and everything.

Later, the medics told her that the positioning of her placenta, which was in front of the uterus, was disguising the bump.

Sarah also thought she was having her monthly periods, but it turns out the bleeding was her placenta slowly rupturing. Any pain her body was experience Sarah attributed to having twins in 2016. She thought her body was recovering from the previous birth.

The arrival of Sarah’s fourth child was no easy task, obviously.

“I’d given birth very quickly with no pain relief, so my body was in complete shock, which is why I blacked out,” Sarah added. “All I wanted was my mum. At some point in the hospital, I must’ve drifted off again, because suddenly I woke up and Mum was there at my bedside. She said, ‘the baby is absolutely fine.’ At first, I’d no idea what she meant. Then I remembered I had given birth.”

Outside of needing a possible blood transfusion, Sarah is doing fine now and her baby is healthy.

It seems miracles really do happen and they’re full of surprises.
