A teen found out she was pregnant when she was five centimetres dilated and in labour – after having no bump, sickness or cravings.

Bri Blanton, 18, was rushed to hospital by her mum, Jennifer Blackwell, 36, when she woke up doubled over in pain.

The teen - who thought she had wet herself - was told her waters had broken and she was pregnant and in labour.

Bri had to quickly adjust to the idea of becoming a mum before giving birth to her little girl, Oakleigh, just two hours later.

Despite having no baby bump or pregnancy symptoms, Bri now loves being a mum to Oakleigh, four months.

00:00 Please show me where there is a baby in there because I couldn't tell you.

00:10 >> My daughter is 18 years old, and she had graduated high school in May.
00:18 She had been gone most of the summer, lots of different trips.
00:23 If we had known that she was pregnant, I'm a helicopter mom and
00:26 I would not have let her do those things.
00:28 [MUSIC]
00:33 I actually had COVID.
00:35 I was sleeping on the couch because it's the only place that I could get
00:39 comfortable.
00:40 And so she comes down the steps, like 4.30 AM, said that she was hurting,
00:47 she's like holding her ribs.
00:49 And so I was like, okay, and she kept saying,
00:54 I feel like I have to pee, and I was like, okay, I'm so confused.
01:01 So I was getting ready to take her to the ER.
01:05 We get there, I'm like, I don't know what's going on.
01:10 I think she's passing kidney stone.
01:12 Turns out she was actually in active labor.
01:16 Two hours later, we had a beautiful, perfect, healthy little baby girl.
01:22 [MUSIC]
01:26 My daughter did not know that she was pregnant.
01:29 She had her menstrual cycle.
01:31 This is what is called a cryptic pregnancy.
01:33 The placement of her placenta and
01:37 all of that did not allow her to show or
01:43 for you to know that the baby was moving.
01:47 So yeah, surprise, we had a baby and my husband and
01:50 our grandparents at the ripe old age of 38 and 36.
01:54 [MUSIC]
01:58 So my daughter would have been five months pregnant in this picture,
02:04 based on obviously when she had the baby and what we know now.
02:10 But clearly you can tell that she's not showing.
02:13 Seven months pregnant in this picture, again,
02:16 please show me where there is a baby in there because I couldn't tell you.
02:24 She would have been eight months pregnant and
02:30 these were taken about two weeks prior to my daughter giving birth.
02:37 [MUSIC]
02:40 This is Miss Oakley, she's absolutely perfect.
02:43 Also her onesie, Don't Touch Me Peasant.
02:46 I bought her that because it's perfect, like her.
02:50 Is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen in your entire life?
02:53 She calls me glamma, not really, she doesn't call me anything but
02:56 she's going to because I'm too young to be a grandma, so glamma it is.
03:03 [MUSIC]
