A 19-year-old girl, who recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl, didn’t know she was pregnant until 45 minutes before her daughter was born.

The mother, identified as Emmalouise Leggate, noticed a bump on her stomach on July 16, 2018, but had no idea she was pregnant.

Nine months later, Leggate ’s quick thinking grandmother rushed her to a nearby hospital where she delivered a baby girl in a car park.

Leggate said she had no idea that she was pregnant and was taking regular contraceptive pills at the time she first noticed the bump on her belly. Legatte claims she had a ‘flat stomach’ until right before she gave birth.

According to reports, Leggate’s daughter was full term at the time of birth. However, she was positioned towards the mother’s back and not at the front, said the doctors.

Leggate was rushed to the hospital but her labour time was so short that she delivered the baby even before her grandmother could reach the main building.

“I was really shocked afterwards. It didn’t feel real. My nanna was in that much shock that she didn’t want to believe it. We were really lucky she was okay. I hadn’t taken a pregnancy test, I had no symptoms, nothing. Nothing at all,” Leggate was quoted by LadBible.

“The doctors couldn’t explain why I didn’t have a bump. They just told me that she must have been sitting in my lower back and that it is quite common,” added Leggate.

The 19-year-old said that she had put on some weight but the gain was across her body and not just the belly area.
