Teenage teenage barmaid Rachael Yanetta was rushed into hospital with stomach pains and gave birth to a baby daughter. Even the night before she gave birth, the 19-year-old had no idea she was heavily pregnant and simply thought she was just “piling on weight”.
The young mum was pulling pints at Simonside Social Club in Winskell Road, South Shields, South Tyneside, when she started complaining of stomach cramps at about 9pm last Saturday. She battled through the pain, completing her shift at work before returning home in a taxi at midnight.
Her family decided to take her to accident and emergency (A&E) at South Tyneside District Hospital at about 3am on Sunday . . . and by 4.15am she had given birth to a baby girl, weighing 7lbs 10oz. Rachael said: “I’m still in complete shock. Surprise isn’t the word, the whole family’s stunned.”
She then took a picture of the tot and sent it to ex-boyfriend Matthew Burns, 18. When he responded with a text asking “Who’s baby is this?” she replied “It’s our daughter.”
Matthew, who had a relationship with Rachael last year, told how he found out he was a dad when he opened up the picture message she sent him on his mobile phone. The warehouse worker, from Birtley, Gateshead, said: “To begin with, I thought it was a wind-up but it turned out to be real.
“I had mixed emotions because I was so shocked, but at the same time she’s amazing, and I’m looking forward to being her dad. I’ve told Rachael I will always be there for Grace.”
