A mum hid her entire pregnancy bump for nine months after a previous premature birth made her fearful of complications.
Chelsea Smith, 26, and her husband Jack, 29, made the decision to keep the pregnancy a secret, even from those they saw daily.
Chelsea’s mum, sister and father-in-law saw her everyday but had no clue she was carrying her third child.
Our sister title The Mirror report how she was able to keep the secret thanks to her lack of cravings and morning sickness.
She even joked that her bump just looked like she had “had a curry”.
The mother welcomed baby Bertie on January 31, weighing 5lb 7oz.
Chelsea, said: “I didn’t have any symptoms of pregnancy. No morning sickness, no cravings - not even a bump.
“Nobody had a clue. It just looked like I had a curry.
“It wasn’t like we were planning on playing a big joke on all our friends and family. I just liked the idea of keeping it to ourselves.”
After giving birth to Bertie, wedding photographer Chelsea, from Nantwich, Cheshire, was able to surprise her folks.
They visited Chelsea’s sister Holly and mum Gaynor and sent texts to her sisters with a picture of Bertie.
Chelsea, also mum to Susie, one, and Florence, two, laughed: “Only me and Jack knew. I don’t think many people could manage that nowadays!”
