However, a second doctor spotted what appeared to be a faint line and advised Sammy to test again at home.<BR><br \/>\nShe did, and the result was positive, although she still did not realise she could be nine months pregnant.<BR><br \/>\nLater that night, Sammy developed stomach cramps and went to A+E, and a quick ultrasound left medics stunned when they spotted a baby.<BR><br \/>\nSammy said: \u201cThey did blood tests and then some doctor said to me that he wasn\u2019t trained in ultrasounds but he\u2019d do a quick scan just to see if there was a baby. So he does the scan and he started saying \u2018Oh, there&#8217;s a leg. There&#8217;s an arm. There&#8217;s the back.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nAt around 7am the following morning, she messaged her partner, Triston McKend, 38, to tell him she was pregnant.<BR><br \/>\nShe initially believed she might be in the early stages of pregnancy and could be losing the baby. But medics quickly corrected her.<BR><br \/>\n\u201cAnd then another lady came in and said \u2018you&#8217;re in labour,&#8221; she recalled. \u201cI said \u2018sorry, no, I can&#8217;t be\u2019 and she said \u2018no, no, you are. That baby&#8217;s coming.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nJust five hours after arriving at hospital, Sammy gave birth to healthy Noah, weighing 8lb 1oz.<BR><br \/>\nThe experience left her struggling to process the sudden arrival of her son.<BR><br \/>\nShe added: \u201cI was a little bit like, &#8216;oh God, is he real?&#8217; I just couldn\u2019t process it. I wouldn&#8217;t say there was a bond straight away.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;It was just \u2018Oh my gosh, that&#8217;s my baby.\u2019 And then you know, even the next day, I heard a baby crying in the room, and I was like \u2018What\u2019s that noise?\u2019<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;Now I\u2019ve adjusted and I just think he is so cute. I think babies are always a blessing.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nSammy believes her pregnancy went unnoticed partly because she had lost 10st after her gastric band operation and gained only around 3lb between May and giving birth.<BR><br \/>\nShe had also remained remarkably active, attending a concert, playing football, completing a four-hour bike ride and even taking part in water aerobics just 12 hours before going into labour.<BR><br \/>\nHer partner is now temporarily moving to Bournemouth to help care for their surprise new arrival.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Visit Bang Bizarre (main website) <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><script src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xtbac.js\" data-video=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026-10-14 11:07:35 Sammy Evans had no idea she was pregnant when she visited her GP with a hard lump near her ribcage.
