A BRITISH holidaymaker found out she was pregnant only when she gave birth on her hotel’s toilet.
Helen Green, 45, rushed to the bathroom when she woke in pain in the night.

She felt an urge to push and looked down to see her baby.
Husband Mike, also 45, went to investigate and found his wife, who had periods throughout her pregnancy, cuddling 8lb 3oz Olivia.
But the financial services workers, in Canada with their daughter Darcy, six, could not fly home for weeks until they got Olivia’s birth certificate and passport.
The episode cost them an extra £9,000. The family say most of their costs will hopefully be covered by their travel insurance.
Helen, from Bristol, said: “This was such a huge huge shock, and also such a lovely surprise.
“She just came along and it feels like she’s always been with us.
“Everything feels complete now, she has made us all so happy.
“Even the doctors at the hospital were really surprised.
“I had no idea at all that I was pregnant, everything seemed completely normal.
“I worked, exercised, wore the same clothes and ate the same food as usual.”
