When 24-year-old Sasha Hood's stomach began to feel funny, she didn't think anything of it at first. The cramps kept on getting worse, and painkillers weren't helping with the pain. But soon, they became so unbearable that she had to go see her doctor.
After examining the young woman's stomach, much to Hood's surprise, she was referred to the maternity unit: she was about 30 weeks pregnant.
Even now, she doesn't recall having any of the typical symptoms of a pregnancy besides the sudden pain. She regularly took her birth control pills, though the method isn't foolproof. During her pregnancy, she says she had no bump, felt no kicks, and continued to get her period over the course of those nine months.
But just the next day, after the pain had subsided, the cramps came back in full force, making Hood's boyfriend, Marc Jepson, call for an ambulance. Soon, Sasha was on the bathroom floor, about to give birth — and the event took a terrifying turn when the dad-to-be took matters into his own hands.
Now scroll down to find out how Jepson was able to save his newborn in the nick of time.

Sasha Hood and her boyfriend Marc Jepson have been talking about starting a family together in a couple years' time. But the couple had no idea that the day would come so soon.
Unbeknownst to her, Hood was pregnant with a baby boy. For nine months, she had none of the typical symptoms of pregnancy until one day she went to her doctor because of her stomach pain. That's when the doctor dropped a bombshell: she was 28 to 30 weeks pregnant.

Before she knew it, Hood was on the bathroom floor in labor, and Jepson was thrown into the role of midwife. He called for an ambulance, and rushed to help his girlfriend.
But the happy event took a terrifying turn when the new dad looked down at his baby.
The child wasn't crying, and his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. With the paramedics still on the phone, Jepson was able to cut his son loose, and save his life.
The new parents were in total disbelief and relieved when they finally heard their newborn cry.
Now, little Theo has joined their family, and the couple couldn't be happier to share the sudden news with friends and family!
