21st mother gives birth to baby boy 4 hours after learning she was expecting
A 21 stone woman gave birth to a baby boy four hours after doctors revealed she was expecting, her size having disguised her pregnancy for a staggering 38 weeks, The Daily Mail reported.
Sophie Bird was a size 24 when in September 2010, she was preparing to be bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding.
In the months leading up to the big day, Miss Bird had visited the doctor 10 times, complaining of indigestion, stomach ache and nausea.
But nobody spotted she was pregnant.
As a child, Miss Bird had been a big eater, but exercised regularly and maintained her weight at around 14 stone.
When she left school, a daily diet of takeaways and alcohol saw her weight spiral to 19 stone.
'I actually got stretch marks from putting weight on so quickly,' she said.
