She had no idea she was expecting
A Nottingham woman was shocked to go into labour just 24 hours after discovering she was pregnant. Operations support worker Molly Gilbert, of Trowell, discovered she was pregnant on Wednesday, September 7, and went into labour the following day before giving birth to her son in the early hours of Friday, September 9.
Molly went for further blood tests on Monday, September 5, and received the results two days later which was that she had low iron and a problem with her liver. She said: "I was like well at least I've got kind of an answer to what's going on, but then an hour later they rang me back and said actually we've had the rest of the blood results, and you're pregnant.
Molly went home to tell her mum, and thought "right, at least we have a few weeks to kind of plan what's going on, we have to get sorted. I went to work as normal the next day, my mum was around the corner so I went to meet her on my lunch at Costco, and my waters broke. "I had a C-section so I was in hospital for a few days, so had a few days to sort things at home. It's been crazy."
Molly is thrilled with the arrival of her son and said "he's so chilled out, he's very good." When asked if pregnancy ever crossed her mind over the last few months when she wasn't feeling herself, Molly said: "No not at all, it never crossed my mind, if they asked me I would have said no as I just didn't think it was possible.
Molly's mum, Margaret Gilbert, 66, of Trowell, said: "I'm still in shock, I still can't believe it but he's here." Molly lives with her parents, and so Beau is living with his grandparents.
