Ebony Stevenson, 18, from Oldham, had no idea she was pregnant when she went to bed feeling unwell.
She was taken to hospital after suffering a series of seizures where medics discovered she was expecting.
Her unborn baby had been hidden in one of two wombs, in a rare condition called uterus didelphys.
One of the wombs was continuing to menstruate while the other was growing her baby.
That womb was positioned towards her back so the pregnancy went unnoticed.
The sports physiotherapy student awoke on 6 December having had a 7lbs 10oz baby girl.
She had not developed a bump, experienced morning sickness and had not missed a period.
Doctors discovered Ms Stevenson's seizures were caused by preeclampsia and then told her mother she was pregnant and that the baby needed to be delivered.
She underwent an emergency caesarean and gave birth to Elodie just over three hours after her first seizure.
TWO wombs .....
I'm guessing that the story only surfaced now that mother and baby are doing well .....

I hope this girl gets all the support she needs from our authorities. She has been through a trauma through no fault of her own and she deserves to get help.
