From  Daily Mail,

Miss Smith, a keen dancer from Carleton Glen in West Yorkshire, had no idea she was pregnant as she hadn't put on any weight.
Mother Mrs Smith, said: 'We are still a bit shell-shocked. Jodie hasn't stopped smiling’.
'She has been going to college, going to work, doing her dance classes, going to the gym, all as normal. She wasn't ill and looked just as slim all the way through.'
She said Miss Smith started feeling unwell with stomach pains last Monday evening, while she and her husband Michael, 43, were out for the evening.

Bouncing baby boy: Jodie gave birth to a little boy called Jack Arthur in the early hours of the morning on July 23. He weighed a healthy 8lb

Mrs Smith said: 'She’d gone to her boyfriend’s, but came home because she was feeling so unwell.
'I told her to take two paracetamol, but I got a call from her brother later that evening saying Jodie was still poorly and had been sick.'
'At 1a.m she came and woke us up and I called the on-call GP, but they told us we’d have to go to the Wakefield walk-in clinic.
'She was in so much pain by then I knew we’d never get her there, so we took her to A&E.'
Once at Pontefract Hospital, doctors quickly discovered Miss Smith was pregnant and in labour, and transferred her to Pinderfields in Wakefield, where she gave birth in the early hours.

As she’d had no ante-natal care they were unsure what stage the pregnancy was at.
New grandmother Mrs Smith added: 'I was in the supermarket at 6.30a.m buying baby stuff, because we had absolutely nothing.
'The midwives think Jack was a couple of weeks overdue, and certainly full-term. He’s had all his checks and he’s fine. Even they can’t believe it.'
