A woman who thought she had a tummy ache was shocked after going to hospital and finding out she was eight months pregnant.
Emma Fitzsimmons, from New South Wales in Australia, claims she was suffering from "excruciating stomach pain" when she took herself to A&E last week.
After complaining to doctors of the abdominal pain, she had a scan that revealed she was 36 weeks pregnant - but Emma says before this, she had no idea she was carrying a baby.
As the shock pregnancy sunk in, Emma was delivered yet another bombshell - the baby was in distress and her heart rate was dropping.

Before she had time to think Emma was whisked into the operating theatre for an emergency C-section, where her baby daughter Willow was delivered without any further complications.
Emma, who is already mum to two-year-old William with her partner Aaron, took baby Willow home a few days later.
Speaking to the Sunrise program, she said: "I didn’t notice that I had put on any weight really, I was still wearing the same clothes and they still fit me the same."
She added she "didn't feel anything at all" and had "no idea" she was pregnant - a stark contrast to her first pregnancy.
“With William, I found out about him at 11 weeks and I was sick all day everyday until 22 weeks, so it was completely different,” she recalled.
She said doctors explained to her that she might not have felt the baby moving if the placenta had been at the front, which can stunt movement.
However when the baby became distressed, it alerted Emma to something wrong, causing the stomach pains.
She said: “I was getting really bad pains in the stomach and I didn’t know what it was and it was just getting worse,” she said. I was absolutely wailing, I was in so much pain.”
When she eventually found out she was pregnant, Emma said she asked doctors to check again because she couldn't believe what she was being told.
The mum recalled: "I just said to her, 'I can’t have a baby, we don’t have enough room'!"
