A shocked dad has told how his wife went to Beaumont Hospital complaining of 'abdominal pains' only to leave with a baby boy after discovering she was pregnant.
Speaking to Dublin Live, he said that his wife suffering from abdominal pains and presented to the emergency department for medical assistance.
The pair were shocked when a doctor informed them that she was actually in labour and about to give birth.
After a doctor examined the lady they discovered that she was in labour before the baby was subsequently delivered.
The new mother and baby were then transferred to the Rotunda Hospital for further care.
A hospital letter seen by The Irish Mirror reads: "Please be advised that [this patient] arrived in the emergency department on the 24/07/2019.
"She was unaware of being pregnant and complaining to have lower-abdominal pain.
"When I examined her I found that she was in labour - I subsequently delivered the baby and had to transfer her to the Rotunda Hospital for further care and management, for her and the new born.
"Please be advised that she was not booked for ante-natal care."
The boy has since been named Aleksander and both the mother and baby are at now at home.
