Woman Gives Birth in Bathroom After Doctors 'Think Her Pregnancy is Constipation'

​A 20-year-old woman from Cardiff, Wales, gave birth in a bathroom after doctors allegedly failed to notice she was pregnant and instead prescribed her medicine for constipation. That's a surprise if ever we've heard one!

Charlotte Bryant, who gave birth to a baby boy last month, said she was misdiagnosed by three different GPs after suffering from constant backache - with the first one giving her painkillers for inflamed muscles, and another giving her a box of powder laxatives to treat her for suspected constipation.

Speaking to Wales News Service Ltd, she explained: "I'd had really bad backache and I'd gone to the doctors. I was prescribed witha big box of powder laxatives. I went home and took one and then a short time later, I felt an urge to go to the toilet.

"I sat on the toilet and I felt something really odd between my legs. It was like a poo but it felt like it was coming from the wrong place. I felt the urge to push and then as I looked down and I saw a face looking at me. It was absolutely surreal."

Paramedics arrived at her house after she called an ambulance and she was taken to hospital, where her baby son - Joshua - was rushed to Intensive Care as he was suffering from a chest infection.

Charlotte added that she had no idea she was pregnant because her periods were still regular and she had felt no movement in her stomach.

"​People have been so kind and brought lots of lovely things for him. He doesn't want for anything. We all call him a little miracle - and he really is too", she added.

CUTE.
