18-Year-Old British Woman Gives Birth in Toilet; Mother Expresses Pride

  Follow UK immigration and listen to stories from the UK: According to a report by the British newspaper Daily Mail, 18-year-old Jessica from Staffordshire, UK, made several trips to the toilet due to stomach pain and remained there for nearly 15 minutes. Concerned, her mother went in to check on her and realized something was wrong. She then discovered that Jessica had given birth to a 7-pound 6-ounce (approximately 3.3 kg) baby girl in the toilet, and it was at this moment that Jessica realized she was pregnant.

 

 

Jessica is studying to be a nurse at university. Previously, she had no idea she was pregnant and experienced no pregnancy symptoms, other than occasional back and knee pain, which she attributed to the aftereffects of an accident in 2012.

Jessica went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor recommended a keyhole surgery. Before the surgery, she underwent almost every physical examination except for a pregnancy test. However, the pain did not subside after the surgery and only disappeared after she gave birth to the baby.

For Jessica, it all happened too suddenly, but she is happy that her back and knee pain have ceased and that she has a child. Her mother, Barbara, stated that she loves taking care of the newborn and is proud of her daughter, describing the whole event as a miracle.
