“I woke up in labor in my room. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on my own. I was supposed to start my new job the day he was born,” the British woman said in a TikTok post. She reports that she did not feel any signs that she might be pregnant during her pregnancy.

The mother says that, due to the surprise birth, she received help from her parents to prepare the layette while she was in hospital. “My mom and dad bought absolutely everything.”

In addition to giving birth alone and at home, the British woman reported that the baby was born in the breech position. “He was still in that position when he was born in my bathroom,” she joked to tabloid The Sun.

The publication was seen by more than 700 thousand people on social media. Hundreds of Internet users were divided between compliments to the new mother and jokes about the situation. “He IS your new boss,” one follower commented. “You are superhuman, I can’t imagine what it must be like to give birth in this situation,” another replied.

Silent pregnancy is a rare phenomenon, as pregnancy symptoms can be noticed by most women between 4 and 12 weeks. Cleveland Clinic experts point out that 1 in 475 may go unnoticed until the 20th week. In even rarer cases, 1 in 2,500 pregnancies go unnoticed until delivery.
