A 22-year-old British woman had no idea she was pregnant, until the day she gave birth on the ground of her bathroom while her partner slept through it.
Nadia Watson (pictured) woke up experiencing what she thought were period pains but collapsed to a floor and went into labour. She screamed in agony for a lot more than an hour and delivered 3.48 kg baby by herself, because her boyfriend, Lewis McSweeney, didn't get up – even though she shrieked so loudly her concerned neighbours dialled 999.

Continue after the break.
A fleet of police cars and ambulances arrived minutes after the birth and Lewis, also 22, only arose from his slumber when Nadia presented their newborn daughter.
Nadia said: ‘He can literally sleep through anything – fire alarms, the lot. I have no idea how he does it. I went into our bedroom after I had given birth and showed Lewis the baby but he just went back to sleep. ‘I woke him up again and he realised what had happened and he was completely in shock.’
Nadia had a rare undiagnosed pregnancy and was unaware she was carrying a child – she gained very little weight and remained a size ten throughout.

‘It was a complete surprise – I didn’t have a clue that I was pregnant,’ she said. “I was still having regular periods, I remained a size ten, and I only put on a tiny bit of weight which I put down to eating too many burgers at my new job at Frankie and Benny’s. On the Sunday night I started having some sharp pains, which I just assumed was me starting my period. I went to the bathroom and collapsed with pain. I realised I was in labour and just decided to keep pushing. Most people have a team of people around them telling them what to do and when but I just had to keep pushing on my own.’
