My dad found out I was 16 & pregnant 20 minutes after I went into labour in the middle of the night

GIVING birth is said to be one of the most special experiences you can go through, but the truth is a lot of people find the experience traumatic.

That was the case for one teen mum who delivered her baby on the bathroom floor - and she didn't even know she was pregnant.

Mum-of-two Elle Woods found herself in a crazy scenario over a decade ago she did what most teenagers would do and buried her head in the sand.

Elle only discovered she was expecting her daughter when she was seven months along, she explained in a series of viral TikTok videos.

She said: "I found out through my nutritionist - not my GP - and I just didn't tell anyone I was pregnant."

A few weeks later, Elle woke up in pain and asked her dad for some painkillers at 4am.

It then dawned on Elle that she wasn't just feeling a bit under the weather - she was well into her labour.

Much to her dad's shock, "half of the baby's head [was] already out".

Needless to say, Elle's dad sprung into action and called emergency services.

Since the nearest hospital was 40 minutes away, he was told he had to deliver his granddaughter there and then - not something he or Elle had planned for in the slightest.

She explained in a follow-up video: "[He] moved me to the en-suite as that was the largest tiled area and they put down a whole heap of towels.

"My uncle - my dad's brother - was living with us and he was in charge of keeping my sister with Down's Syndrome occupied with other things so she didn't know what was going on.

"Dad said it was quite quick. I've had a second child since and I laboured really quick with him as well."

In total, Elle claims there was just 20 minutes between her waking her dad up and her daughter being born on the bathroom floor.

She added: "When the ambulance came [15 minutes later], they packed me up and took me to hospital.

"I don't remember a lot because I did go into shock and I lost a whole lot of blood."

I found out through my nutritionist - not my GP - and I just didn't tell anyone I was pregnant.

She captioned her clip which has racked up over 7 million views: "When I tell you he is never going to let me forget this, I mean he is NEVER going to let me forget this."

Unsurprisingly, Elle's story left viewers absolutely stunned.

One replied: "At least he didn’t have time to get angry at you before he met his grand daughter..."

Another added: "Your dads amazing. Kept his cool. 10/10."

Meanwhile, a third wrote: "Your dad is way better than mine, mine would have thrown a fit that I was pregnant, told me to 'figure it out myself' and walked out."
