A shocked dad has told how his wife went to Beaumont Hospital complaining of 'abdominal pains' only to leave with a baby, after discovering that she was actually pregnant.
He told Dublin Live that his wife was suffering from abdominal pains and was shocked when a doctor told her that she was in labour.
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 Dublin Live 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."
Dublin Live has not yet learned of the baby's gender.
