Lancaster, England - When Heather Schlossman said she thought she had a stomach virus and went home from work early last week it turned out she was ready to give birth.

"I started getting bad cramps and thought I had eaten something bad," said Schlossman, 26.

The pain became so severe she had her husband, Mike, take her to the hospital, where a casualty doctor was perplexed.

"He wasn't sure what he was feeling at first," her husband said. "Then he said he wasn't sure if it was one or two. I said 'one or two what?' He said 'babies'."

'I thought any movement I felt was just gas'
"It was my first baby," Schlossman said of her 3kg daughter, Jasmine.

"I thought any movement I felt was just gas. I didn't go through mood swings, I didn't have any morning sickness, and I only gained about 4,5 to 5,5kg."

She phoned her boss the next day. "I said: 'you better sit down, I had a baby yesterday'. He said 'you what? I didn't know you were pregnant'. I said: 'Join the crowd'." - AP
