Great-grandmother, 99, Receives Shocking Letter From Hospital Saying She’s Pregnant

A 99-year-old great-grandmother, Doris Ayling, was left amused after reading a letter from an NHS hospital telling her she’s pregnant. It however turned out to be an hospital blunder.

The document – which accurately stated that Mrs Ayling was born in 1915 – claimed that she was booked in for an antenatal consultation.

The hospital however apologised for the error after her 76-year-old son, Brian, contacted them.

Mrs Ayling, who has seven grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, said, ‘I was a bit amused by it all…It’s a complete mystery to me how I got this letter. I had three children when I was 20, 23 and 29. That was enough.’

She added: ‘I’m almost 100 so how can I be expecting?’

Mrs Ayling’s children, who are all pensioners themselves, said that they had a ‘good laugh’ over the bizarre mix-up.
