An 18-year-old girl has claimed that she gave birth by surprise while standing in her kitchen in Northern Ireland earlier this year.
Milaois Murphy, a Dublin resident said she had no idea she was even pregnant until her daughter 'slid out into her trousers', Mail Online reported.
The newborn weighed just one pound when she was born 26 weeks into the pregnancy, and she stopped breathing almost immediately.
Murphy thought her pain was caused due to appendicitis and she had been gaining weight owing to it.
But unknowingly, her daughter was growing inside her womb.

Newborn babies usually weigh around five to eight pounds.
Murphy had been up all night at home being sick, leading her mother, Victoria to think she had the inflammation of her appendix.
Moreover, she also experienced back pain leading up to the bizarre event. But then her water broke while she was standing in the kitchen and her mother realised that she was actually giving birth.

"That night, I was vomiting and vomiting and I said, Ma, I need to go to the hospital," she said.
