You found WHAT on the scan???

Sooooooo 😂😂

I went in last week for scan on my kidneys, a suspicious lump that needed checking. Climb up on the bed and said to the lady “oh this brings back memories!!” She smiled at me, and started the scan. First stop, bladder. Asked if I’d used the toilet and I said yes, asked any chance of pregnancy, I said NOOOOOOO…….she said “oh……I do see something here.”

well, I nearly fell off the bed looking round at the screen to see a HEARTBEAT!!!! I did a little swear under my breath (my children are 10 and 13…….im 37!!! I thought I was done and was so careful!!) and she said I need to take a pregnancy test…….which I thought was a bit irrelevant since there’s a baby on the screen with a beating heart!!

I took one anyway, positive instantly and the darkest I’ve ever seen a test…….next day I made an emergency appointment at EPU, there it was, 6 weeks…….and I had absolutely NO idea. Zero. And I’d still have no idea as I’m lacking any symptoms I had with my first two!!

so that’s my story! I’m still very much in shock and disbelief.

i thought I had a horrible cyst/lump…. Instead I left with a baby 🤣

Congratulations! By the tone of your post I'm assuming this is a happy surprise!

WearyAuldWumman · 28/07/2026 12:53

Oh, this is lovely - to go in with a cyst and to leave with a baby. Congratulations. :)

Jaydekins89 · 28/07/2026 12:53

At first, I didn’t know. 10 years is a long time baby free!! But I’ve decided this is fate, and see what baby 3 brings!

I can relate somewhat. Not quite the same but I was around 18 weeks and absolutely unaware until I first felt baby kick. That is a hell of a way to find out you’re expecting!

Wrighttrina · 28/07/2026 12:58

Wow thats amazing are you on anything like birth control wise?
So happy for you :)

First off I wasn’t sure if I was happy! I slept on it, and I’m STILL in shock but it’s a happy/ terrified shock 😂

I've commented it on here before but my friend actually found out she was pregnant with her totally unplanned surprise baby when she was 5+ months along!

That’s exactly it!! Ment to be!

That’s what is in my head now!! How long would I of gone without knowing if it wasn’t for the scan for something COMPLETELY unrelated!

Oh wow definitely must be fate! :) and im so happy its a baby and not a cyst congratulations 💓

Jan24680 · 28/07/2026 13:05

Congrats. I had no symptoms with my first until 9 weeks. Stopped tracking periods so it was a real surprise. I was 38 at the time. I just about looked pregnant at 36 weeks. Number 2 was an oops baby at 40.

I got all the way to 6 days from giving birth before I found out I was pregnant

That baby is now 26,has a child of their own and I couldn't be prouder

That ice cold feeling when you find out has to be felt to be believed-i didn't stop shaking the whole 6 days

My only symptom was an hour of feeling really sick-with the others I was throwing up all the way through the pregnancy

Congratulations op! It's meant to be!

CuriousKangaroo · 28/07/2026 13:10

Congratulations OP! So pleased for you that it’s a baby, not a cyst and you are happy about it.

I’m a surprised that you find it shocking that it has happened at 37 though. Many women have natural pregnancies at that age - in fact none of the women in my close friendship group had a baby before 37 and none of us did IVF!

gamerchick · 28/07/2026 13:10

So is your kidney ok?

thats lovely but did they rule out the suspicious lump (assuming not a baby if you could feel/see it at six weeks?) or was that picked up by an earlier scan and is the baby?
