Something just moved in my stomach..

[Ohshitx]

I’ve name changed for this.

Something literally just rolled in my stomach, there was a popping sensation and now I swear I have a bump where I didn’t before. Nothing that strange until I mention that I’ve not had sex since November and I’ve had periods since then. But something is moving in my stomach, and not like trapped wind. I’ll get out for a test first thing, but I surely can’t be that many weeks pregnant and not have had a single symptom till now, surely? Please someone tell me I can’t.

Oh my goodness what a shock for you. I think congratulations? And good luck of course, I hope you can get a scan and that the dad is supportive for you x

Bless you what a surprise! Hope everything works out well :) x

Sending love. 💓

Congratulations, OP! What a shock, but also how nice to get so much out of the way unawares, I guess! I fell pregnant mid November, found out 5th December and due 11th August if that helps you Pinpoint dates a bit. I've a large gap between my eldest and Ds who is 18 months and actually it's been brilliant, she's a massive help and they are super close. My bump is enormous, I'm quite jealous you didn't even notice!

Woah! I wasn't expecting that outcome op.
I hope you're alright and getting your head around it. I hope that your FWB takes the news well.
Big hug for you. X

Wow! Congratulations! What a shock you have had. Be kind to yourself, let us know how things are, hopefully everything is well! Take care x

Gosh, I've just read through this whole thread like this
Congratulations OP.

Take your time. Deep breaths. Give yourself a chance to process this.

Goodness sake what can the www tell you that you don't already know?

Bloody hell, well I stand well and truly corrected. Congratulations and hope you're ok!

I was so sure it would be wind. What a shock OP, hope you're ok.

Congratulations.
When you present at the midwives late for booking in they get a scan sorted out very fast in my experience. I booked in at 21 weeks and the scan was a few days later.

I have to say Im excited or you op :) I think your DS will be over the moon, what a surprise! :)

Well what a lovely outcome, congratulations, even if it is a massive headfuck right now. What a precious thing to happen 💖💕💖 I always secretly hope I’ll have an accidental baby, wish the snip would fail on hubby but I highly doubt that will happen!

Bless you op. In your situation I’d be shitting my pants. So little time to sort things out. Offering you strength and luck xxx

Wow, congratulations OP!

First thing, don't panic. The vast majority of babies were fine back in the days before ultrasounds and all the advice pregnant women get nowadays- odds are the baby will be fine. Call your GP tomorrow and ask to be referred to the midwife urgently. I'd be very surprised if you don't get seen for a scan in the next week, two at the most.

Also, newborns don't need much- it can be gotten hold of relatively quickly. Car seat, somewhere to sleep, onesies (though you may not need them if we have a hot summer), vests, nappies. Bottle paraphernalia if you're planning to formula feed. They are in your room for the first six months at least so no need to stress about a nursery. Take a deep breath and stay calm. It'll be OK.

Yes me too, 20 weeks before I found out, no symptoms at all, no bump, it can happen

Congratulations! This is going to be a very short pregnancy, I hope you keep well.

My 3rd was born into complete chaos. No bedroom, house a building site, storage was cardboard boxes, changing station was the floor.
People lent me stuff, I bought things in charity shops.
But there was so much love from all the much older cousins, aunts, uncles, big brothers.
It was all fine.

Congratulations op 🎉 call your gp they will have you in asap to do a scan

OP, please keep us updated if you feel you can and good luck with "the conversation"
I don't want to pee on anyone's parade but I second emergency counselling as this is a huge shock especially with the current situation affecting every body and I am about to mention something sensitive so please do not take this the wrong way.
Whilst I do not know your personal circumstances and am in no way judging you or anybody else this happens to, we have had Christmas, new year, Valentine's and lock down were alcohol for a majority of people have been involved, if you have drunk either heavily at the Christmas parties or a few every night to get you through lockdown it may be worth mentioning this to your GP or midwife.
I am raising a 7 year old with FASD (Feotal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) his birth mum drank throughout pregnancy. I am involved with FASD support groups and a lot of birth mums have been in your situation of not knowing they were pregnant until later on and having continued partying etc.
It's one of the most common causes of disability, with 428 conditions linked to it, yet the least known and is often misdiagnosed as add,adhd, asd, odd etc.
I am not saying this to upset you or saying that it will happen but it may be something to consider, plus don't worry too much if this has happened, it's a spectrum so some children you can barely notice and some children it's severe, obviously the brain develops continually throughout pregnancy so the parts damaged at the point of a woman drinking vary. My son is wonderful, he is funny, forgiving, cheerful, adventurous (too adventurous but that maybe a boy thing) he is amazing with animals and very empathic there are a lot of positives for people with fasd as well as the negatives.
Please do not take this as a massive negative on your situation I am not trying to frighten you, just make you aware and good luck-

Sorry to follow on from my previous post, if this is a circumstance that is a possibility it's worth mentioning it so things can be put in place earlier rather than later, I was fortunate that the midwife was aware of my sons BM and her drinking habits so it was documented from birth and it helped me to help him ie when he needed speech therapy as is common with fasdling, I pushed for it so he got it about 18 months earlier and his speech is fine now and it can help rule out other condition. Again good luck and not trying to scare you.

Congratulations OP!
Women have been having babies since the beginning of time. The odds are it'll be fine. I would tell your closest family member first. Mum, sister aunt?
Have them come round and make you a cup of tea and have a hug.
It'll be fine. You'll be a great mum. You already are to your DS and an addition to your family will make it better.
What OJZJ said won't happen. Even if baby, in very unlikely case, has that, then they'll still be in your care.

(Really OJZJ! It's not good to terrify expectant mothers. Especially those who've had a shock. Are you trying to make her cry! Very bad form.)

Babies are a blessing and a bundle of joy.

omg, congrats! Ik how u feel.. was 5 and a half months when I found out and had just over 3 months to prepare.. and at 18, you'll do great, reach out and get help with baby stuff 💕

Good luck OP. Crazy outcome there
