Woman who had no idea she was pregnant and was told by doctors she was infertile gives birth to healthy little girl
Brooke Williams thought she couldn't have children after having brain cancer as a child
A WOMAN who was told by doctors she was infertile has given birth to a healthy baby girl - just hours after medics told her she was pregnant.
26-year-old Brooke Williams, from Utah, USA, believed she could not have children as a result of treatment for a brain tumour when she was a child.
But last Sunday, after being rushed to hospital because she was having seizures, Brooke and her husband Calvin were gobsmacked to discover she was 35 weeks pregnant.
Hours later, after Brooke suffered a sixth seizure, doctors decided to perform a C-section - and the couple were delighted to welcome a healthy baby girl.
New dad Calvin, 27, told NBC 4 New York that the unexpected arrival had been an emotional 'whirlwind' for the pair. He said: 'I honestly stared at it and I didn't know, that's mine. It's a whirlwind, it's been crazy, I've had every emotion really.

'They did blood work, the guy came back and said, I don't know what the levels are, but this level is common with someone who's pregnant."
Calvin also insisted that his wife showed no signs of being pregnant - even adding that he and his wife would "make fun" of people who claimed to have a similar experience.
He said: "She's never had any sickness, she never felt her stomach move, me and my wife are the type of people that make fun of those people of you know."
Now, kindhearted friends of the family have set up a page to help the couple - who aren't financially prepared for the unexpected cost of raising a child.
The fundraising profile explains: "As a child, Brooke had brain cancer and was told by doctors that she would never get pregnant.
'Thus, one of the reasons why Brooke did not know or realise she was pregnant.
"In addition, because of her cancer she gets irregular periods that either last two weeks or are nonexistent for five or more months.
"Brooke also never experienced any sickness at all during the pregnancy. As far as she knew she was normal."
