Story of a Surprise Baby

I found out recently that someone I know had a baby. A surprise baby. An "I Didn't Even Know I Was Pregnant" baby.

I'm shocked.

Shocked.

This person was 7 months along when she found out she was pregnant. And then she went into labor early, about a month and a half later.

Can you IMAGINE?

Surprise! You're going to have a baby in less than three months.... Wait! How about you have that baby RIGHT NOW?

The new mommy has some medical issues with her lady parts that precluded her from realizing that something was out of the ordinary. I guess because everything that goes on down there is already out of the ordinary. Plus, she was told that she's probably infertile, so I suppose that a pregnancy wasn't even on her radar as a possibility.

She's not obese or anything. She's curvy, but not fat. I guess she didn't show much. Some people don't. I am NOT one of those people, by the way. But apparently she is.

Crazy.

Anyway, the baby was teeny tiny when it was born-- less than 5 lbs-- but relatively healthy and it went home from the hospital after just a few weeks in the NICU.

The only other person I've ever known to have a pregnancy progress without their knowledge was 4 months along when she found out. And I thought that was bonkers.

Congrats to the new family!
