A new mum has revealed her shock after she went to hospital with stomach pains and discovered she was seven months pregnant.

Beth Crowder, 25, was delighted when she welcomed her son Brodie in August last year after just two weeks of trying to get pregnant.

She had planned to wait two years before trying again.

However, after Beth went to hospital due to stomach pains when Brodie was eight months old, she discovered she was already pregnant and due in a matter of weeks.

Beth’s bump didn’t start to show until she was eight months pregnant with Bailey and she was still wearing size-six clothes.

Admin assistant Beth gave birth to Bailey in July.

“It was quite a big surprise,” Beth, from the Wirral, told What’s the Jam.

“Not only that I was pregnant again, but that I was 30 weeks along. He’d been hidden the whole time.

“I was having pains in my stomach so I went for a scan and they said I was 30 weeks pregnant.

“There were no symptoms.

“A lot of people didn’t believe me at first.”

Beth was worried about how she’d be able to afford a second baby so soon.

Luckily, Beth had kept hold of Brodie’s baby clothes and only needed to buy a double pram and cot.

Beth said: “It was hard financially having another so soon. I do live paycheck to paycheck but I make it work.

“I’m on maternity leave again which was stressful because they were expecting me back.

“Thankfully I kept hold of all of Brodie’s stuff because I didn’t want to let go of it. His clothes can be passed down to his little brother.

“At the start it was tough because one baby would cry and wake up the other, but when you get a routine going everything just rolls.

“I also had a lot of support.

“I’m not planning on having any more.

“It was hard enough with one baby. Maybe I’m super fertile.”

Beth says she felt like she’d physically recovered from giving birth to Brodie, but doing it again so soon took a mental toll.

She said: “Physically, I was recovered.

“Mentally, it was a big thing for me.

“It took me a while to be ok once I knew I was having a second in such a short amount of time.

“I’m mentally ok now, but it really took a while even once I had Bailey, I was thinking ‘wow, is this really my life?’.

“If I didn’t have my family and friends around me, it would really be different.”

And she says although it can be hard work, she wouldn’t change the age gap between her sons.

She said: “Their relationship is amazing. It was hard for Brodie at first because he was used to it being me, me, me.

“He would poke Bailey but now he tries to help. He tries to put his dummy in but it ends up going in his eye.

“I couldn’t wish for their relationship to be better. I can see how close they’re going to be when they get older.

“Everything has turned out perfectly. This time two years ago I didn’t plan on having two kids, but I wouldn’t change my life for anything.”
