Destiny Stephens-Coull, 21, was doing her final year of college and had just been offered a place at university for the following year.

Like a normal 18-year-old, she went out clubbing on the weekends, wore crop tops and drank booze with friends.

Destiny, from Laindon, worked part-time at Nando’s while living with her mum, Diane Coull, 55, a nursery assistant.

But everything changed when she showed up for a shift on April 13, 2022, and felt cramps like her period starting - even though she wasn’t due on for two more weeks.

She ended up bleeding heavily in the toilet for over an hour - before being rushed to Basildon Hospital, Essex.

To her bewilderment, Destiny was told she was six months pregnant - despite having periods and gaining no weight, and needed an emergency c-section under general anaesthetic.

She awoke to meet her unexpected son, Kingsley, now two - who then had to fight for his life after being born 10 weeks premature on April 13, weighing 3lbs 1oz.

But two years on, both Destiny and her little boy are doing well.
