    My wife and I JUST WENT THROUGH . I woke up to a FaceTime of my wife breastfeeding a clone of our first born!?! I was flabbergasted to say the frikkin least . Constant throwing up can’t explain it. But excited to bring my baby girl back home . She’s staying in the NICU for 2weeks. Prayers appreciated

    Big respect to this couple for speaking about this important topic. I had no symptoms. I was on contraception at the time . My belly was not big . I thought I had a stomach virus . My Doctor told me to go to accident emergency. I found out I was 8 months pregnant. I had 4 weeks until I was about to give birth . When I heard the news I was 8 months pregnant. I was nervous. I was worried thinking can I do this . Am I going to cope . I gave birth to my baby girl Ava on the 19th of August 2023 . Ava has changed my life for the better . I see my daughter Ava as a blessing. I am really happy about having my daughter Ava . Ava has made me feel more positive and great full. Thank you for sharing your story ❤

    @13:20 I watched a documentary (I think it was called After Tiller) about abortion clinics, and there was a woman who was 48 who walked in and they asked her where her daughter was. She was like, "I'm the one coming in for the late term abortion - I don't have a daughter". Essentially, she thought she was going through an early menopause but realized too late that she was pregnant. There was another woman in the news recently who was 51 when she went to the emergency room thinking she had a burst appendix, but it was actually a baby. All her kids were in their mid to late 20s! So, the cryptic pregnancy thing doesn't always happen to young girls.

    In 2018 my sister was working her job at a group home. I think she said she had these cramps and an erge to fart. Next thing she knew a baby was born at this group home and she yelled at her coworker to call 911. She didn’t know she was pregnant. Looking back at pictures of her around that timeframe she didn’t get the big belly or any noticeable signs. This wasn’t her first pregnancy either she had three kids before.

    I know someone who didn't know until she was 6 months in. But she was only 17 at the time, so maybe also in massive denial.

    Please don't say that you wanted an abortion in front of your child. Even though she can't speak yet, she can understand. Say it when she's not there by all means if that's true but try to protect her, she may be damaged by this negative thinking. It good that Emanuel says she's a blessing.

      Abortion is an awful thing and shouldn’t be allowed anyway for any reason but that little baby DOES NOT know what she is saying. No way.

    I believe that at least half of cryptic pregnancies are people unwilling to admit they’re pregnant.
    My daughter tells everyone she didn’t know until 26 weeks. She knew. I know she knew. She just didn’t get a test because she didn’t want to admit it.

      Even the doctor didn't think she was pregnant even after a negative pregnancy test. It wasnt until the nurse urged the doctor to check again with ultrasound because she knew this had happened to someone she knew. Also , she was on implant birth control in her arm for most of the pregnancy. Did you watch the video?

      ​@joshuqlewisham8086 Oh yes, pregnancy can be a huge problem.
      Luckily, some people can overcome the problems it can present. Others aren't so lucky, and many babies are born into poverty, abusive situations or even worse.
      It's not always joy and celebration.

      You’re not educated enough on a woman’s body, the period stops but there can be spotting during the whole pregnancy. And at times we skip periods (hormonal imbalance or contraceptives or other fertility issues) which is why it’s easy to miss that you’re pregnant
