Woman Gives Birth Without Knowing She Was Pregnant

In a surprising and heartwarming story, a British woman named Helen Green, 45, unexpectedly gave birth to a baby girl while on vacation in Canada with her family last year. Helen and her husband Michael, also 45, had traveled to Toronto in May 2025 for a 10-day road trip with their 6-year-old daughter Darcy, unaware that Helen was 9 months pregnant.

In the middle of the night, Helen woke up with stomach pains and went to the bathroom, where she suddenly felt an urge to push and discovered a newborn baby. The couple was completely shocked, as Helen had experienced no pregnancy symptoms and had even continued her regular exercise routine. After a quick call to emergency services, Helen and the baby, named Olivia, were taken to the hospital and found to be healthy.

The unexpected arrival meant the family had to extend their vacation to obtain Olivia's birth certificate and passport, costing them an additional £9,000. However, the Greens describe the situation as a "lovely surprise" and say Olivia has brought them immense joy and made their family feel complete. Despite the initial shock, they quickly adapted to their new addition and are grateful for the extended time they were able to spend in Canada bonding as a family of four.
