18-year-old with toned stomach shocked to learn she's 37 weeks pregnant

A size eight teenager with a flat stomach was stunned when doctors told her she was nine months pregnant - before they re-positioned the baby producing a sudden giant bump.

Saffron Heffer, 18, claims she had no idea she was expecting a baby until her mum suggested she took a pregnancy test when they spotted a strange line on her tummy.

It turned out that the teen was 37 weeks pregnant - and gave birth to her son Oscar Heffer just six weeks later.

Aside from the mark, which turned out to be a pigmentation line, Saffron showed no physical signs of pregnancy and had been visiting them gym and going on sunbeds completely unaware.

The retail assistant put her missed periods down to the pill and her cravings for Cornettos, lettuce and strawberries due to them being on offer at the shop. It's as good a reason as any.

An emergency midwife appointment confirmed her baby boy was back-to-back in her womb - and after her midwife twisted him around Saffron's stomach 'popped' into a giant bump. If that didn't make your toes curl, nothing else will. 

Incredible pictures show Saffron just days before she discovered she was pregnant with a perfectly-toned tummy and then a giant bump after the baby was re-positioned days later.

After just six weeks preparing for the new arrival, baby Oscar was born a healthy 8lb 1oz on June 3 2018 - and despite the shock Saffron loves being a mum to her little boy.

Saffron, from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, said: "It was a surprise for everyone. My mum was just as shocked as I am. I personally didn't believe it was possible [to not know you were pregnant] until it happened to me.

"People said it and I heard the stories and I thought they must have known. But until it happened to me I was completely oblivious. While I was pregnant and didn't know, I was going down to the gym and I was still having sunbeds.

"I was down the gym the day I found out and doing sit ups with my mum. We were laughing that my belly goes in a funny triangle shape. It just didn't click - even my mum said she didn't think for a moment that I could be pregnant.

"It was my mum who realised I had a pigmentation line on my stomach. My mum [Melissa Heffer, 46] noticed it and told me she wanted me to do a test just to rule it out.

"I said if I was [pregnant] then I'd literally have to be ready to pop, and I had no stomach, nothing, nothing whatsoever. So I said okay then.

"I did the test - and obviously it didn't rule it out at all. It told me that I was pregnant. In the end I did get a bump. It was huge. I saw the midwife, she turned him around and then I just gained a balloon. It went huge.

"I was still in my size 8 jeans, but it was massive, I have to admit. It wasn't straight away huge but I could see a small bump. It was an early pregnancy bump [at first] where you can't tell and then [after I saw a midwife] every day it grew hourly.”
