A 22-year-old mother revealed that she thought she was only in her first trimester when she suddenly felt the urge to pee – and gave birth to a full-term baby boy in the toilet.
Tegan Brill from Michigan she is now the proud mother of a one-year-old boy, Owen – but his arrival last February was a major shock.
Brill first suspected she was pregnant a week earlier and took a positive pregnancy test, but assumed she was one month or three months old.
Thinking she still had time to handle the pregnancy, she was confused when she went to use the bathroom and noticed that her “hole was huge” – and quickly pulled out a newborn, wrapping it in a towel while she waited for an ambulance to arrive.
22-year-old Tegan Brill from Michigan is already the proud mother of a one-year-old boy Owen – but last February his arrival was a serious shock
She was not feeling well and went to the bathroom to climb – and suddenly she took out a baby
Brill shared her story in a series of videos on TikTok, explaining why she didn’t suspect she was pregnant for so long.
She insisted she didn’t look pregnant, and at six months she even took a beach vacation, where she wore a swimsuit all the time – and no one noticed that she looked different.
“No one could say, no one knew. “I wasn’t big with a baby bump,” she said. I looked normal.
In fact, at about six and a half months old, she said she remembered thinking that her legs had never looked so skinny and that she looked “damn good.”
What she noticed was that her hair and skin looked “amazing” – which she now knows was caused by the pregnancy, but at the time didn’t give her cause for concern.
Brill insisted there were no signs that she was pregnant, and she still looked rather thin after six months (pictured) when she went on a beach trip with friends.
Brill (pictured at six months) said she kept bleeding all the time and suggested it was her period.
She was even happy with how thin her legs looked at six and a half months (pictured), but a week before giving birth, she told her boyfriend she thought she was gaining weight or getting pregnant.
Eventually, she said, she learned she was pregnant about a week before her son was born.
“I sent a message to my boyfriend and said, ‘Honey, I’m either very fat, I’m fat, or I’m pregnant. He must be one of them, “he said,” Well, take a test and you’ll find out, “she recalled.
Although she gained a little weight, Brill said she continued to bleed for nine months and believed she was menstruating, so she had no idea she could expect it.
“I had a cycle, so there’s no reason to believe I’m pregnant,” she said.
But in light of her weight gain, she decided to take a test – and realized she was pregnant. However, she did not imagine that she could be so far away.
“I thought maybe because we traveled a lot, he lived in Colorado, I lived in Michigan, so I thought I could tell when things were going, and I said to myself, ‘Oh, we’re either a month or three months, “she said.
After staying home from class on Monday, she used the bathroom on Tuesday morning and had terrible cramps – and then Owen was born (pictured immediately after birth)
She called 911 in the bathroom because she couldn’t stand up. The ambulance arrived as soon as she gave birth to her son
Owen was healthy, weighing nine pounds, six ounces
“I was like, not bad. “We have time,” she said. I didn’t know I was nine months old.
Then, one Monday night in February 2021, she felt bad and knew something was wrong.
“I was just like, ‘Wow, I’m not feeling well, guys,'” she said.
At the time, a senior at Hope College in the Netherlands, Michigan, she stayed home from class that day, visiting through Zoom with the camera off.
Early the next morning, she said todayshe had intense stomach cramps and thought she should aka, but when she went to use the toilet, she couldn’t stand it.
At first she thought she had an abortion, but then she took a closer look.
“I literally looked down. My hole was so big, “she told TikTok.
“I did not feel like a normal bastard. I looked down and my hole was huge. I literally felt it and it was hard and I just said to myself, “Um, this is a kid.”
Brill went to the hospital, where he called his mother to announce that she was a grandmother
Brill told Today that he remembers thinking about his son: “You are my miracle. There is no way to be healthy, let alone healthy and sweet, like a miracle.
After moving in with her parents, she finished school while caring for her baby
“I took it out, too.” He didn’t splash in the toilet, he didn’t hit the toilet. I took it out and the whole time I was on the phone with the ambulance, like EMT, 911, because I went to the toilet and I couldn’t stand up.
“So I called all my roommates, I heard all their phones go off … but no one answered because it was seven in the morning.
“So then I called the 911 ambulance and just said to myself, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but someone has to come help me because it’s not normal.
“They came literally five minutes after I brought my child to the toilet. I looked down, saw him coming out, pulled him, wrapped him in a towel, and then the ambulance came.
