A couple have thanked midwives who helped deliver their surprise baby.
Richard and Jo Bennett, from Dawley Bank in Telford said they had no idea they were expecting, when Mrs Bennett started feeling stomach pains during a regular quiz night.
"After a couple of hours, and with Jo now in constant pain, we attended A&E.
"A short time later we were told that the stomach pains were in fact contractions and that Jo was in labour," Mr Bennett said.
"[Sixteen] hours later she gave birth to our son, Jacob at a weight of 9lb."

"Our world has been flipped upside down," he said.
Mr Bennet said the couple wanted to thank all the staff at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust who helped with baby Jacob's delivery.
