Cryptic pregnancy

I gave birth to my son a month ago. Only I wasn’t aware I was pregnant. I woke up one morning with severe stomach pains (SN: I have an 18 month old daughter, I felt contractions with her but they were no where near as painful) I tried my best to just ignore them and make my daughter breakfast. The pain started to increase and I was extremely upset and uncomfortable. I started crying and calling for my mom. She tried to get me to lay down while she called 911. I walk down the steps to and try to sit outside because I’m burning up my. My fiancé comes home and sees blood on the back of my pants and follows me to the bathroom. I told him it feels like something is trying to fall out of me and sat on the toilet. He looks at me and says “Babe!! That’s a baby!! You’re having a baby !! I positioned myself as if I was in a hospital bed, and put my feet on the wall while my fiancé helped me deliver. In 10 minutes I delivered our 8lb 13oz baby boy in the bathroom. As soon as he was out the EMT’s arrived. I just kept saying I didn’t know I didn’t know! They helped me deliver my placenta then took me to the hospital. I was in shock, I couldn’t believe what happened and now I was a mom of two. I cried because even tho I don’t drink or smoke I felt so guilty I didn’t know he was there. He’s healthy without any abnormalities. I’m still processing what happened there’s times I just cry (could just be baby blues) but mostly what I feel now is joy. I have my daughter and now I have my son and I love them both so much 💖🩵

Awe <3 I couldn’t imagine going through any of this! You’re so strong!! Give yourself some grace dear. Ps. If you need any help I’m only in Chesapeake with a 21 mo old

I’ve heard of cryptic pregnancies! They have an entire show dedicated to women who didn’t know they were pregnant and had a baby. Maybe watching them could help you? I watch Mama Doctor Jones on YouTube and she reviews them with her medical advice. She always says you did the best you could with the information you have. Sounds like you and your fiance did good :) congrats!
