The story has been told of the young woman who gave birth to a baby without knowing that she was pregnant at all. A teenager went to bed with a headache, fell into a coma and woke up four days later – after unknowingly giving birth to a surprise baby. Ebony Stevenson, 18, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, had no idea she was pregnant, and after going to bed feeling unwell on December 2, 2018, she was rushed to hospital and placed in an induced coma before waking up on December 6 having had a baby girl.



The college student – who studies Sports Physiotherapy – hadn’t developed a bump, experienced no morning sickness and had not missed a period. She had no idea she was expecting as her unborn baby was hidden in one of two uteruses, in a condition called uterus didelphys. The condition, thought to affect one in 3,000 women, means those affected are born with two uteruses. In Ebony’s case, only one of them had a fallopian tube to carry an egg, while the other had none – meaning her chances of conception should have been slim. After suffering a series of seizures on December 2, Ebony was rushed to Royal Oldham Hospital, Greater Manchester, and placed in an induced coma.



Medics performed tests and discovered Ebony had suffered from preeclampsia which had caused the seizures, and she was pregnant. They told her mum immediately and said that the baby needed to be delivered right away. She underwent an emergency caesarean on Monday 3 December and gave birth to a baby girl at 1.32am who weighed 7lbs 10ozs – just over three hours after the first fit. Ebony woke on December 6 to discover she had given birth and was suddenly a mother. She has now got her head around the news and is enjoying bonding with her daughter, who she has named Elodie.



The first time mum said: “I didn’t think I even wanted kids, at least not for another 10 years and never expected to be a young mum. Waking up from a coma to be told I had been pregnant and had given birth to a baby girl was overwhelming to say the least. Meeting my baby was so surreal. It felt like an out of body experience. I worried I wouldn’t bond with my daughter because I had no time to get my head around her arrival, but I think she’s amazing. It’s an absolute miracle. I wouldn’t change Elodie for the world.”



Ebony had thought she was just unwell when she went to bed at 8.30pm on Sunday 2 December, complaining of a headache. She doesn’t remember anything from then until waking up four days later – suddenly a mum. Thankfully her mum, Sheree, 39, a stay-at-home mum-of-five, has been able to fill in the blanks.

I wonder how she felt being pregnant all those while without knowing ...

Thank heavens she wasn't aware. She might have tried to abort the child if she had a prior knowledge...and no mention of the father.
