PHOTOS: Woman Had No Idea She Was Pregnant, Gave Birth To Baby Boy In Toilet Room

A new mother who had no idea she was pregnant until she gave birth on the toilet in her parents’ bathroom, has spoken of her shock at the arrival of her new son.

But she said his arrival came as a complete surprise to her and her family, from Llantwit Major, Wales - adding that she had worked ten hour shifts right up until the birth and had even ran a half marathon half way through her pregnancy.

She said looking back the only inkling that she may have been pregnant was a sudden fondness for Mars bars, and "putting on a stone around Christmas time."

Hours before the birth, Miss Rzepka had been at work at the Filco supermarket in Cowbridge and said she felt unwell.

 She said her manager asked her if she wanted to go home early but she insisted on carrying on until the end of her ten-hour shift.

That night she woke at about 1am in pain. She said: "I was having a really sharp pain in the side of my stomach all day and I didn’t know what it was.

The only way I can describe it is that it was like someone stabbing me in the right hand side of my groin.I didn’t think much of it. At about 5am I felt like I needed the toilet but I couldn’t go.

I had another really sharp pain at about 5.20am and went to the toilet again. I stood up because I didn’t feel right.
I just pushed and he arrived. I caught him before he went into the toilet.
I was really shocked. My first words were just repeating: "Oh my God". I didn’t know what else to say. I burst into tears and sat on the floor."

My mum said: "It’s a baby" and my dad was saying, "Don’t worry, keep calm".'

Miss Rzepka, who has been working at the deli counter at Filco for nine years, said she had been lifting 25 kilo boxes all the way through the pregnancy, right up until she had the baby.

She added: "A few days before I had the baby I was lifting up bags of potatoes for the customers.

I didn’t really put on very much weight until Christmas, and I just thought that was a Christmas belly.

It was like having two shocks - the first was when he was born in the bathroom.

But then when I brought him home from hospital wrapped up in a blanket. I never thought that would happen to me.

The sense of responsibility and knowing my life would never be the same again scares me much more than Olly-James coming in the night."

The doctors reckon that because I was so active throughout the whole pregnancy, that is why I didn’t feel him move.

When I was awake he was asleep and when I was asleep he was awake."
