A woman, who did not realize that she was pregnant, described giving birth alone in the beauty parlor, where she worked before cutting her baby’s umbilical cord with eyebrow scissors.

Bryoni Mills-Evans said that she did not think that the child wanted, but despite the symptoms of pregnancy, she was insisting in motherhood at the age of 23.

Cryptic pregnancies, where a woman is unknown, she is pregnant for a long time, or in the case of Bryoni, when in labor, has been described as “rare, but exceptionally rare” by a babysitter professor.

Recently, after making very little discovery about such pregnancies, Bryoni has decided to raise awareness so that others have experienced similarly that they are not alone.

Cryptic Pregnancy: ‘There were 4 weeks to get my life together’

‘I had two seconds to prepare for birth’

A study has suggested that around 325 of these amazing births in Britain every year.

The beautician was at work in Newtown, Powice, the day she gave birth, and after finishing with her last customer, she felt that what he thought was just a menstrual cramps.

“I was on tight leggings so I went to the beauty bed in the back to take them down because I thought the pain could be less,” he said.

“His head came out within 10 minutes of lying there.

“I thought I would just go to the toilet, looked down and looked at his head.”

Bryoni started pushing easily and gave birth to her 6LB 14 Oz (3.1 kg), willow.

“I really didn’t know what to do. My phone was dead and was in another room, so I just lay down on the bed,” she said.

“After a while I saw that her navel was starting to turn white. I had an eyebrow scissors next to me, not I know anything about infants, but I cut with her and wrapped her in the weight of the towel.”

Bryoni, after which he was a second child, then collapsed to charge his phone before going to the toilet.

“I didn’t know your placenta had to come out. I think I was probably more frightening because I thought it’s another child,” he remembered.

999 Bryoni was sent to the hospital after calling.

Asked the questions from the paramedics n route, she said that she said that she did something on the lines of her mother, not to worry, not to worry, “we are both on the lines,” before asking what she could meet her.

“I don’t think I held him until the next morning,” he said.

“I was definitely out because I was only 23 years old and I didn’t think I ever wanted any child.”

Bryoni said that it was only when her mother suggested that she had named her new child that she started to calm down a bit.

“It was a shock. Everyone always tells me that ‘you must have been scared’.

“I really don’t remember, this is one of the moments where you just meet with it because you don’t really have another option.”

Bryoni said that she had none of the symptoms of any tail -story, which you would expect you pregnant – including a baby collision.

“When people ask ‘how can’t you know?’ I always say ‘If you have a monthly period 
 then why are you checking that you are pregnant?’ ” He said.

While the pregnant Bryoni went to the theme Park, where she went to every ride, attended the concerts and went on a trip to Poland, which now believes that she was on her fixed date.

Remandable, she said she was told that her daughter Willow was about two weeks due to the appearance of her “wrinkled old man”.

“I had one bad, but I always have one because I slap 5’11 and every day in my job, so it was not more than normal,” he said.

According to Helen Chene, Professor of Maternal and Child Health Research at Sterling University, “It is not known” how can a deep pregnancy be like Bryoni.

He said: “This is really one of these but a sick -furious event (and) I think it is very difficult to understand people – how can a woman not know that she was pregnant?

“We have a comfortable belief that ‘of course a woman will know that she is pregnant as she is pregnant’ but historically, this is not the case.”

Professor Chine explained before the modern methods of testing for pregnancy, women rely on more subtle signs, indicating that they were expecting the child’s move, which is usually not for the first time about 20 weeks for mothers.

He said that there was no medical definition of esoteric pregnancy and there is also the absence of data collected on them.

“(They) are rare, but not exceptionally rare,” he said.

“Most of my midnight colleagues either came beyond it, or had heard about it, around their clinical practice.”

Acting as a midwife in the early 1980s, Professor Cheyen met a woman in the mid -40s with other children, who claimed that there was a deep pregnancy.

She said that the woman assumed that she was entering menopause, which is why she felt that she was putting weight and stopped stopping the periods.

Professor Chines said that as soon as some pregnancies were esoteric, it is not something about which women should be worried about.

Bryoni was separated from Willow’s father Robert Evans for several months when she was born.

When he was away for the weekend when he was born, the new mother broke the news of her daughter a few days after her unexpected arrival.

“He was very excited – he played me straight and came to see him the next morning,” he said.

“We were sitting at home all day and just took all this in 
 before I was definitely needed before going out in the real world”.

Bryoni said that Willow’s father was ‘very excited’ to meet his wonder’s daughter.

Six months after becoming a parents, the pair again woke up their romance.

Four years after Willow’s birth, the couple welcomed their second child, Parker Mills-Evans.

Bryoni said that his second pregnancy felt completely different.

“I had everything with Parker, I did not have with (Willow).”

Willow is now five years old and Bryoni said that she could not imagine life without a child she did not know that she was happening.

“I have recently decided to share my story because I have realized that cryptic pregnancy lacks support and knowledge,” he said.

“I want other women to have happened, to know that they are not alone – there are other people.”
