A woman who thought she would never be a mother gave birth just 15 hours after visiting her GP with "tummy ache".

Amanda Ross, 41, said she had not experienced any symptoms of pregnancy before giving birth to her daughter, Chloe. "I had the munchies, but nothing, no cravings for anything in particular. I did not feel any movement. I put on a little bit of weight but nothing that was like a baby bump," she told ITV's Daybreak.

She said she visited her GP after feeling a "little bit unwell" and had been told she could be pregnant. She was referred the same day for a scan with a midwife, who told her she was around seven to eight months pregnant. Chloe, weighing 4lb 9oz, was born the next morning by emergency Caesarean section at Southmead Hospital in Bristol.
