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.

My mum didn't know she was pregnant with my brother till she went into labour . She thought she was going through the menopause. That was 25 years ago and hes now a dad himself

Lovely post op congratulations and goodluck

Ohshitx 9 weeks is crazy and actually babies can come 2weeks either side so maybe only 7 weeks/
Might not be helpful but John Lewis has a sale on some nursery bits.
Have you told work yet? It’s been a crazy week for you, I can not even start to imagine how you must be feeling.

Congratulations OP

I know a girl that was in the same sort of situation but found out as she gave birth after going to the toilet.

What a remarkable story, i love it! Wishing you all the best 🤞🏻

Congratulations. What a lovely story. Not the same but I got pregnant with my second entirely unexpectedly and i was in shock for days but can round after a week or so. When you tell the dad he will probably be extremely shellshocked but if he is a good guy give him some time and he will come round.
I have a 7 yo son. It has occured to me that he would be the right age to be really helpful in many ways if I had a baby. My two came just over a year apart and it was hellish! Best of luck to you all x

Wow OP, what a shock! Hope you're holding up ok.

OP I saw your story when it was first posted and as more and more people commented I thought nah it's wind as I have occasionally had a movement which felt like a baby but 🤞🤞🤞 I'm too old now for little surprises. You seem like a sensible lady who will handle this situation and obviously I appreciate you will have moments of panic followed by times of happiness then disbelief. To those who are doubting her, people can be pregnant and not realise. Years ago I had a patient at the dentist where I worked who used to come and see me every 3 months. One visit she was telling me that she had felt very poorly since I had last seen her and had several scans/tests with no conclusive results. This lady was highly intelligent, a stressed teacher and 3 weeks later became the mum of a beautiful baby boy, this situation does happen and this particular lady told me she had asked her gp on a few occasions if she could be pregnant but had dismissed it as she was on the pill. I really wish you and your lovely family a lifetime of happiness. As for this lady , she married the father of her son who she hadn't previously been in a serious relationship, they had another 2 children in quick succession until she realised what was causing it and had her tubes tied, they are a very fertile couple. I still see her now and I can picture her size 8 one visit then 3months later still a size 8 with a 2 month old baby.

It’s not as uncommon as people think. My mum saw one of her friends one day on the bus on the way home from work. She was in her mid-forties, and was complaining that her back was killing her.

You guessed it - she was in labour. Went home and gave birth. She thought her periods had stopped because of the menopause, and was a larger lady anyway so hadn’t noticed the bump.

My own mum didn’t know she was having me until 5 months! Her periods didn’t stop - she had a scan for suspected ovarian cyst/cancer and was told by the doctor, “It’s not a cyst - it’s a sister or brother!”

Good luck to you all, OP.

My mum didn't know she was expecting me until 6 weeks before I was born. She was nearly 47, had tried for 14 years with no joy and the doctor had told her I was the menopause

I have no idea why my post was deleted.

This is what MN says about deletion policy:

Post deletions
We're all for freedom of speech. That said, we'll remove posts we consider to contain personal attacks, to break the law and/or to be obscene, racist, sexist, disablist, ageist, homophobic or transphobic, once they are brought to our attention. We will also delete any posts that we think are just seriously unpleasant (please note that any subsequent posts repeating the words in the deleted post may be deleted, too).

My post was none of the above. It also didn't break any of the talk guidelines. MNHQ are seriously shite, inconsistent and arbitrary sometimes

Congratulations Op I'm in a similar (although not as far along at all) situation.

DH had a vasectomy after we had twins 4 years ago (we also have a 13,10 and 8 year old)

I'm still breastfeeding 4yo morning and bed time so even though periods are back and normal ish they're still not completely regular.

I've been late one, missed one, had one, then missed another. Took a test and it was positive. We don't have a regular sex life so going from last time we had sex I have guessed around 18 weeks.

I'm obviously not as far as you but even now I don't feel or look pregnant, haven't felt any movement etc only took test as periods where more irregular than usual. Got a scan Mon, I'm thinking they'll just tell me the rest was wrong haha

"they had another 2 children in quick succession until she realised what was causing it " LOL at this!

Congratulations OP you sound like a great mum. Good luck x

Wow 31 weeks. That time will fly you will be so busy 👶 🥰

OP do you think you'll find out the sex at your scan?? Cos no pressure but I'd love to know! 😁🤞🏻

How are you doing? Are you happy and excited or still feeling shocked and worried

Have you told anyone yet?

I have no idea why my post was deleted

Did you Quote the troll hunting post?

It’s very common for women on depo to not have periods although usually even more common to conceive whilst on it, slightly worried as that’s what I’m on 😊

So happy for you op, your wind did have arms and legs, hope you’re keeping well and telling dad etc goes well.

@Quarantined - I think it was because you quoted a deleted post. Usually the message tells you it's because of that.

Op I wouldn't panic buy tonnes of stuff. You've done this before and you know how little a tiny baby really needs. I'm excited for you and much better than wind or a hernia.

Hi @Quarantined, we removed your post for trollhunting, which is against our Talk Guidelines. If MNetters have concerns about a post we ask that they report them us directly rather than posting on the thread.

@ClaraMumsnet would you please clarify exactly what I said that was trollhunting? I can categorically tell you it wasn't.

I’ve been following, OP, and I just wanted to delurk to join in the chorus of good wishes and support. Wherever we are in life, there is always something unexpected around the corner, but it is truly incredible what we can adjust to and cope with, and come to appreciate. Wishing you all the very best, and I hope everyone in your life is as supportive as you deserve

What a bloody shock! Congratulations OP, I wish you all the best!

Hi OP.... if it makes you feel better, when my DTs were a few weeks old, I had them at my lovely GP for vaccinations. She suddenly went a bit green and began to excuse herself from the process citing a possible bug. I know her quite well, and her story - she had told me that she had given up on IVF a few months previously as it hadn’t worked after many, very expensive and grueling treatments. I gently suggested that peeing on a stick might be a good idea, as she didn’t appear to have a temperature. She said, “Wait here!”. She came back in waving a positive test aloft and gave me a big hug. It hadn’t occurred to her. Even doctors aren’t always aware of what’s going on in their bodies! (She was further along than she thought too!)
Wishing you all the very best with everything!!!

What kind of man is the father, OP? Do you have any concerns?
