The hard-partying student believed she had just “gained a little weight” after drinking “almost every night” during her university days, but had no idea she was pregnant until she suddenly gave birth.<\/p>\n

In August 2022, 20-year-old Niamh Khan’s life changed forever when she was hospitalized with suspected appendicitis and was discharged with her newborn baby.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old, who lives in York, admitted to binge drinking and smoking throughout her pregnancy, attending festivals and pub hopping without knowing she was pregnant with her son.<\/p>\n

The medical assistant said she took at least 10 pregnancy tests because the nausea returned, all with negative results.<\/p>\n

A few months later, on the morning of August 9, 2022, the former drama student woke up with severe abdominal pains and was rushed to York Hospital A&E with what he suspected was appendicitis.<\/p>\n

Subsequent tests revealed that Niamh was pregnant with her full-term baby and was in active labor, which she thought was due to the antibiotics interfering with her contraceptive pills. There is.<\/p>\n

A few hours later, Niamh gave birth to a healthy 6lb baby, Liam, at 9.30pm.<\/p>\n

Niamh, who was studying a foundation degree in drama at Leeds University Center at the time, was in “absolute shock” after giving birth as she believed she had only gained a few extra pounds while at university. he said.<\/p>\n

Niamh said: “One morning I woke up in great pain. My stomach hurt and I couldn’t move.<\/p>\n

“I thought it was my period, but it was the worst period pain I’ve ever had in my life.<\/p>\n

“I got up and got dressed. I called my nanna and she called 111 and told me to go to the hospital right away because they thought I had appendicitis.<\/p>\n

When Niamh’s nausea returned, she took at least 10 pregnancy tests, all of which came back negative, leading her to believe she was not pregnant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen I was being observed in the hospital, I actually thought I was going to pee in my bed.<\/p>\n

“When I got changed and the nurse came back, she brought a wheelchair and said, ‘You’re in labor.’ I said, ‘No, I can’t do that,’ and she said, ‘ I said, “Yeah, let’s go.”<\/p>\n

Niamh’s ‘wetting’ in her hospital bed was actually due to her water breaking, and the student gave birth to a baby boy just six hours later.<\/p>\n

Niamh said: “I was really shocked. From the moment she said that, I said, ‘No, this can’t happen to me, there must be another explanation.’<\/p>\n

“My life was university and university work. Everything went through my head. I don’t remember anything from the moment I was told I was in labor until I gave birth to Liam. It all started in one place. It became blurry.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of us had any idea if he was going to be healthy, if he was going to live or if he was going to get smaller.<\/p>\n

“They think he was full-time, but he was three weeks early. He was small when he was born.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazingly, he was perfectly healthy.<\/p>\n

“It took me two months to figure it out. I couldn’t believe it.”<\/p>\n

\"'Too <\/div>\n

‘Too much’: Niamh split from her father four months before the baby’s birth, but says her family helped her with everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Niamh split from her baby’s father four months before Liam was born and believed she had a “great family” rallying around her for the first few weeks.<\/p>\n

Niamh said: “When Liam came I froze up and my mum took him in. It was too hard for me.” She took on the role and organized everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had nothing. My sister came and brought the smallest baby growth she could find, diapers, milk, everything we needed and we rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n

“My family was really great. After the baby was born, I moved back in with my mom, which is something I didn’t really want to do – I lived on my own for two years of college – but… I had to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

After finding out she was pregnant, Niamh drank and smoked during the nine months she was at university, and feared she had unknowingly put her baby in harm’s way.<\/p>\n

“I was so relieved to hear that he was healthy,” Niamh said. I was drinking. I drank almost every night in college. I went out around 6pm, didn’t get back until 2am, and drank all night.<\/p>\n

Niamh panicked over the fact that she had been smoking throughout her pregnancy, but thankfully baby Liam (pictured) is healthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Relief: <\/div>\n

Relief: Niamh said she was “panicking”. [she is] I am also a smoker and smoked and drank throughout my pregnancy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I was going out about three times a week. About two weeks before I met him, I went to a three-day festival and drank a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was panicking because I was also a smoker and had been smoking and drinking all the time.<\/p>\n

“Thankfully he was okay.”<\/p>\n

Niamh said she took 10 pregnancy tests after complaining of nausea and weight gain in the summer of 2022, all of which came back negative.<\/p>\n

Niamh believes the antibiotics she took to treat tonsillitis in November 2021 may have interfered with the effectiveness of the contraceptive pills she takes every day.<\/p>\n

Niamh said: “No one told me that these antibiotics could interfere with the tablets. I had no idea.<\/p>\n

“In May, I was feeling sick and decided to take a pregnancy test. I felt like it might happen, so I took about 10 pregnancy tests.<\/p>\n

“I felt sick, but there was no explanation why I felt sick. All the test results were negative. I just thought it was a diseased bug.”<\/p>\n
