SYDNEY, Australia - Only three hours after discovering she had been pregnant for nine months, an Australian woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Carolyn Hounsell went to the doctor with stomach pains and was admitted to the hospital. Just a few hours later, she got "a very big shock" when she delivered a 3.6 kilogram boy. "I'd had some indigestion," Hounsell said. "They sent me off for an ultrasound, which told them I was at 37 weeks. The cramping I'd had were contractions." Her husband, Dennis Ross, had been told he could not father children because of a car accident a couple years earlier. "He's a good size. It makes you wonder where I could hide it. My boss was very surprised but not quite as surprised as I was," Housell said
