'Stomach upset' woman has baby

Helen was shocked to discover she was pregnant

A woman who thought she was suffering from a stomach upset gave birth to a baby in the toilet of the pub where she works.

Helen Longmore from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, was working at the Just So Cafe in the town when she went into labour, and everything happened so quickly there was no time to get to the hospital.

Baby Amber was born just a day after her mum's colleagues suggested she could be pregnant.

Helen had complained she was feeling ill and had put on weight, but thought it was down to eating too much chocolate.

Breech position

She told the BBC: "When someone suggested I could be pregnant I was so shocked, and I think that's what brought the baby on.

"I just thought it was because I had been eating too much chocolate - that's what I had put the weight gain down to."

She added: "It all happened very quickly, especially considering she was in a breach position - she came out feet first.

"I just made sure her nose and mouth were clear and then held her against me."
