[@grayskindablue]

Sunshine An embryo is a useless clump of cells, just like a fetus is until it’s developed enough to be able to survive on its own outside the womb. However, this baby was in the last trimester and developed enough to survive. Might wanna brush up on basic bio terms before trying to rile up people with edgy, unrelated comments, when you could just enjoy this woman and her partner celebrating a baby, as unexpected as it was.🙃

[@sobersurvivor5900]

I was pregnant and had no clue till about 26 weeks. I had been sexually assaulted at 16 and had been on birth control because of irregular periods. I gained 6 pounds and just thought it was my depression. Only real "symptoms" were really bad cravings for salads and key lime pie and heartburn I contributed to stress and anxiety. I also have a very tilted uterus so didn't really show till about 30 weeks. I had a very rough go with labor but not for reasons relating to lack of care. She was head down but faced the wrong way. Emergency c section was needed where I was completely out and she had to be intubated the first couple of hours. Turns out she was 7 pounds 1 ounce and 24 3/4 inches long!!!!!! Very healthy once we got over the rough start but she was sooooooooooooooo tall and skinny!! Looked like I had given birth to slender man's baby!! She's 16 now and doing amazing!!

@@kristinaruiz3645 no it just shows your lack of knowledge lol. It's impossible to get exact measurements of a baby through ultrasound that's why weight is just an estimate it's a high chance it's lower or higher than what they tell you and also that's why due dates change sometimes because baby will measure a certain amount then another ultrasound further along will show 3+weeks ahead (they'll only change due date if you're measuring 3+ weeks ahead or behind than initial scan.)

I had my dream body for a lil bit and suddenly I stopped loosing weight and my abdominal is getting harder, thinking it must my abs workout I just ignored it... One night I decided to treat myself and goes out to the club with my sister in law and got wasted... During our restroom meeting..I drunkly blurted out telling her how I think I am pregnant but not sure...idky I said it it just came out randomly especially when I thought I was infertile... Lol so I came home telling my partner but saying that I might just be paranoid... The next morning while I was sleeping he woke me up with a pregnancy test in hands telling me he gotta know.. So we took it, and it turns out to be positive... I was 21 weeks pregnant....

When I was 5 months postpartum with my first pregnancy, I was working full time and all of a sudden got really sick to my stomach and was really tired. I didn't think anything about it as I was breastfeeding and the leleche league that I was going to assured me you couldn't get pregnant when you were breastfeeding fulltime (which I was). Anyway, I stopped worrying about it and took my son to a routine 5 month checkup. At his appt. My doc heard my symptoms, when offered to do a pregnancy test. I seriously laughed and just agreed. The test came back with a faint positive, like faint enough it peaked my docs curiosity and she decided to do an ultrasound right then and there. During the ultrasound she discovered that I was 4 months pregnant!! I was shocked. I had not gained weight, or gained a belly or anything and at the time was holding my 5 month old child and freaked out. My husband who had just joined the army a week before this almost fainted. I was told at that ultrasound it was a boy, but a month later when my husband was in basic, we were told it was a girl. Fast forward and I have 4 kiddos. The first two are 10 months apart and the second two are 19 months apart. There are 7 years between the 2 sets because I found out later that I have PCOS and Hypothyroidism as well as endometriosis. I was told that was why all my pregnancy tests come back negative until I am like 3 or 4 months along. It sucks. I have had many miscarriages and am actually very blessed it worked out the way it did.
