A woman got the surprise of her life when she went to the toilet and ended up giving birth to a baby.
Jess Davis, from Bristol, who welcomed her baby boy the day after her 20th birthday, had no idea she was pregnant and put her abdominal pains down to her period.
The history and politics student, in her second year at University of Southampton, says she had no obvious pregnancy symptoms and didn’t have a bump.
Davis is now adjusting to motherhood after the surprise arrival of Freddie Oliver Davis on June 11 2022 at 4:45pm weighing 5lbs 5oz.
“My periods have always been irregular, so I didn’t really notice,” she says. “I sometimes felt nauseous, but I had started taking a new prescription so I just put it down to my new medication.”

The mum describes her son’s arrival as “the biggest shock of my life”.
“I thought I was dreaming at first,” she says. “I didn’t realise what had happened until I heard him cry.”
While it took Davis a little while to get over the initial shock and to adjust and bond with her baby, she says she’s “over the moon” about becoming a mother.
“It took a little while to get over the initial shock and adjust and bond with him, but now I’m over the moon.
“It suddenly hit me that I really need to grow up now!
“He is the most chilled baby ever,” she adds. “He was known as the quiet baby on the ward.”
When Davis woke up in severe pain the day of Freddie’s birth, she assumed it was the start of her period and walked to her local Asda to buy a hot water bottle.
“I could barely walk and couldn’t even lie down on my bed when I got home,” she says.
“I was supposed to be having a house party that night for my birthday the next day, so I had a shower and a bath to try and make myself feel better, but the pain just got worse and worse.”
