A woman who went to hospital complaining of stomach pains was understandably surprised to learn she was nine months pregnant – and gave birth an hour later.
Katie Kropas, 23, asked her grandmother, Elle, to drive her to the Weymouth, Massachusetts, hospital when she felt uncomfortable pains in her lower abdomen.
Just an hour after her arrival at hospital, she had given birth to a healthy 10lb, 2oz baby girl.
‘At the time, I was like, this has got to be a joke, but I had no idea what to think,’ Ms Kropas told NECN.
According to the 23-year-old, she was on birth control, had relatively regular periods and had seen only a small amount of weight gain – which she attributed to over-indulging during the Christmas season.
And when her boyfriend Dan Keefe called her mother Karen to tell her, she was sure he was joking.
The most amused of all were the doctors, however.
‘They just say “you were carrying around 10 extra pounds and didn’t know it?”‘ recalled Ms Kropas.
‘I don’t know why I didn’t know. I mean, I’m just excited and I appreciate everyone who is helping.’
