Slim-figured Sophie Aldridge thought she was suffering severe back pain when her mum took her to hospital.
But the 20-year-old left friends and friends astonished when she came back hours later carrying her new
baby Thomas.
Sophie had absolutely no idea she was pregnant - having had no symptoms over the previous nine months.
And pictures reveal how even in the weeks before she gave birth she was trim enough to fit into a size 10.
Sophie, who currently lives with her parents in Dover, Kent, said: "I was due to come on to my period that day so I thought that must have been why I was having such bad pains.
"I know it might sound really stupid to some people but I literally had no idea I was pregnant - I didn't have any symptoms.
"I didn't get morning sickness, I stayed wearing my size ten clothes, I had regular periods throughout the pregnancy and I didn't have any cravings. "
Sophie says she woke in the middle of the night with severe back ache.
When her condition deteriorated the next day her mum took her to hospital, where she was given an anti-sickness injection and sleeping pill before being sent home.
Shortly after arriving back home the pain became unbearable and she was rushed back to hospital by ambulance.
Paramedics then dropped the bombshell that Sophie was actually in labour - and less than half an hour after arriving at A&E she gave birth to baby Thomas.
She added that friends and family members couldn't believe it when she arrived home with her 5lbs 8oz son.
Without even a nappy in her possession, people quickly whipped around to ensure Sophie and Thomas had everything they needed.
"To give birth there and then, like I did was absolutely terrifying," she said.
"It was a big shock to everyone when I suddenly arrived home with a baby.
"When I gave birth I didn't even have a nappy to my name, let alone, clothes, pram, cot, etc. I had nothing.
"When I came home from hospital my friends and family had come together and donated nearly everything me and Thomas needed which was so kind."
Sophie, who had no idea she was more than eight months pregnant, was still enjoying frequent nights out drinking with friends.
She said: "I was still going out and getting drunk with my friends whilst I was pregnant - I had no idea I was pregnant, obviously.
"I was still wearing crop-tops and mini skirts, I didn't have a bump or anything.
"Everything was just so quick I didn't really have time to gauge what was happening. I was only in labour for 30 minutes.
"In a way I'm so glad it all happened - I wouldn't change Thomas for the world now. I like to call him my little miracle."
