'I thought my stomach pains were just constipation... then I gave birth to my baby girl in bed'

A woman thought she was constipated and didn't realise she was pregnant until suddenly giving birth in bed. Emily Graham, 27, woke up with period cramp-like stomach pains on the January 13 before having the 'shock of her life'.

The new mum, from Warrington, initially thought the pains were just constipation but they quickly worsened, with her suddenly feeling the urge to 'push'. Her fiance Ash Green quickly called for an ambulance, with paramedics arriving just in time to deliver their baby Isabelle on their bed.

The 27-year-old retail assistant claims she had no idea she was expecting so worked hours before giving birth, drank at her works' Christmas do and even rode on Florida's fastest roller coaster three times in Orlando last September, when she would have been around six months pregnant.
