A PET shop worker was stunned when her 'bad back' turned out to be a BABY – not realising she was pregnant until she started giving birth to the 10lb tot. <\/p>\n
Ceira Sutherland dramatically gave birth to her daughter last November after rushing to A&E with crippling stomach and rib pains.<\/p>\n
\n \n<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old claims she had a period six weeks before giving birth, had no baby bump, suffered no morning sickness and used condoms every time she had sex with her partner. <\/p>\n
Oblivious to being pregnant, the mum continued to party and drink and enjoyed a boozy night out with shots and spirits just weeks before giving birth to Amelia Aitken, who was delivered over full-term. <\/p>\n
It was even more of a surprise for Ceira and 27-year-old partner Andrew Aitken as she'd been told that conceiving would be difficult due to her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). <\/p>\n
She describes how butcher Andrew was so stunned he stood 'silently in shock' for a while. <\/p>\n
Ceira, from Thurso, Caithness, Scotland, said: "We hadn't even thought about having children yet.<\/p>\n
"I have PCOS so I was told quite young that I might not even be able to have children so this was a complete surprise. <\/p>\n
"We were using condoms every time so it was an even bigger surprise.<\/p>\n
"Kids were something we both wanted but not for a while." <\/p>\n

Two days before Amelia's arrival, Ceira did an 11-hour shift at work when she began experiencing excruciating back pain. <\/p>\n
Unsuspecting Ceira went home to her partner's house when her symptoms worsened and she decided to head to A&E. <\/p>\n
Ceira said: "At work, I have to pull in big deliveries and it never bothered me before but my back felt so sore that I had to go sit down and put a hot pack on it. <\/p>\n
"I finished my shift and went to my partner's house. <\/p>\n
"I felt really sick and my back was sore, I just went for a nap. <\/p>\n
"I woke up and started to get rib pains but thought nothing of it. <\/p>\n
"When it was about 11pm that night I thought 'something is not right' and I decided to go to A&E." <\/p>\n
Doctors sent Ceira home with painkillers but she was forced to return three hours later after the pain intensified. <\/p>\n
Medics believed there could be something wrong with Ceira's gallbladder – but were confused over the level of pain she was experiencing.<\/p>\n
After a urine sample was taken, Ceira was told it was positive but she believed it was a false positive due to her PCOS. <\/p>\n
Ceira said: "I didn't even know they were doing a pregnancy test on my urine sample until she said they've both come back positive. <\/p>\n
"I thought it could be a false positive because of my PCOS or, if I was, I was only a few weeks along.<\/p>\n
"I was more concerned about the pain I was in." <\/p>\n
Further tests left doctors baffled over the cause of Ceira's pain. <\/p>\n
Eventually it was confirmed the retail worker was definitely pregnant, but Ceira was told the baby was 20 weeks at most due to her recent period. <\/p>\n
Ceira said: "Looking back now it's so obvious it was contractions because it was intense shooting pain every five minutes but I was never thinking 'I'm in labour'. <\/p>\n
"Doctors couldn't understand why I was in so much pain. <\/p>\n
"They said it was definitely a cyst. I was getting pain relief but it wasn't even taking the edge off the pain." <\/p>\n
The next day a nurse went to swab Ceira for one final test when she spotted the baby's head emerging. <\/p>\n
Ceira said: "As the nurse went to swab me, I just heard an 'oh'. I said 'is that a bad oh?' <\/p>\n
"She said 'you're pregnant, the head's there, you're in labour'. <\/p>\n
"Then it was a mad rush to take me to the labour unit. There were loads of doctors waiting in this room for me. <\/p>\n
"I thought it would be a teeny baby and I didn't know if it was a survivable age. <\/p>\n
"Once I started labour and her head was out, they said 'this is clearly not a 20-week old baby'."<\/p>\n
Just hours after finding out she was pregnant, Ceira gave birth to baby Amelia, born at 7pm on November 27, weighing 9lb and 13oz.<\/p>\n
However, Ceira was concerned over the health of her new arrival after admitting to drinking alcohol during her pregnancy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ceira said: "When she came, I thought 'whose baby is this?' I don't think it kicked in until a week later that this is our baby. <\/p>\n
"Andrew was silent and stood there in shock. He didn't know what to do or say, he took it quite well though. <\/p>\n
"I had been on nights out and I had drunk. I think I had been on a night out in mid-October not knowing I was eight months pregnant.<\/p>\n
"I was quite drunk, there were spirits and shots, it was a big night out.<\/p>\n
"I felt a lot of guilt when she was born. When I found out I was definitely pregnant, I thought 'I've drunk and what am I going to give birth to right now?'. <\/p>\n
"I was so relieved when they said she was completely fine." <\/p>\n
Despite delivering a full-term baby, Ceira had no idea she was ever pregnant due to having periods and showing none of the obvious signs. <\/p>\n
Ceira said: "With my PCOS my periods are quite irregular anyway, I had one six weeks before she was born. <\/p>\n
"I'd gone over a year without a period before so this wasn't unusual for me. <\/p>\n
"I never took a pregnancy test, I had no morning sickness. There was no change in my stomach at all and no pains until I was in labour.<\/p>\n
"Being pregnant hadn't crossed my mind at all over the nine months.<\/p>\n
"Every doctor said this is such a miracle because I'd been told I couldn't have kids because of my PCOS."<\/p>\n
Now mum to a near one-year-old, Ceira reflected on her daughter's 'crazy' arrival into the world. <\/p>\n
