Charlotte Bryant, 20, was misdiagnosed by 3 different doctors who thought she was suffering from constipation.

After reporting that she was suffering from constant backache, doctors prescribed painkillers to her as none of the medics noticed that she was nine months' pregnant, she said.

Charlotte returned home with a big box of powder laxatives to treat her suspected constipation, but later felt a sudden urge to go to the toilet.

Within seconds, she had given birth to a baby boy. Mirror UK reported.

"I sat on the toilet and I felt something really odd between my legs. It was like a poo but it felt like it was coming from the wrong place."

Fortunately, Charlotte's brother, Adam Bryant, 26, was also at their home in Llanederyn at the time of Joshua's birth.

"I screamed for my brother and told him I'd had a baby," Charlotte said.

"He told me to stop being stupid until he came downstairs and saw a baby in my arms."

Charlotte says she wrapped her baby in a towel before calling an ambulance, which arrived at the house ten minutes later.

After sending the picture of her new born baby to her partner, Daniel Hughes he thought she was joking.

'When he realised she was telling the truth and he had become a father, he was in 'complete shock', she said.

Charlotte said she had absolutely no idea she was pregnant because her periods were like clockwork and she felt no movement in her stomach.

"I really had no idea I was expecting - I'd put on a few pounds but I thought I'd been eating too much cake," she said.

She said becoming an instant mother was a real shock, but that she adores looking after Joshua, whom she calls her 'little miracle'.
