A teenage girl who thought her stomach ache was just constipation was amazed when she turned out to be pregnant and only realised when she gave birth in her bedroom.
Niomi Thomas was on placement working at a nursery on July 28 last year when she started experiencing stomach pain and backache, but assumed it was either constipation or period pains. The next morning her pain worsened to the point where she could barely stand.
She lay on her bed and an overwhelming urge to push came over her. Hours later she gave birth to her daughter Talia Thomas. The 18-year-old described it as a "shocking discovery" as she had no symptoms throughout her pregnancy, took contraception daily and still had periods.
