    This is, by far, my favorite episode. My oldest grandson is my daughter's "I didn't know I was pregnant".baby. She went to emergency for kidney stones and found out she was 30 weeks pregnant. While she DID have kidney stones, the ultrasound sound tech's exclamation, "oh look...your kidney stone has a penis!" Is probably the most original pregnancy confirmation of her career.

      I had a precipitate labour with my 3rd child. It's really freaky, crazy, painful and weird. I thought I needed the toilet but the midwife arrived and just barged in and told me to get out of there! Baby arrived 5 minutes later but I don't think I would have been able to move if she hadn't come in then. I think it was about twenty minutes go to whoa. I was so confused after, I kept on a saying "she shouldn't be here yet" and "is that really the time?" Side note: baby had a broken collar bone, maybe from a contraction.

    My mom is an RN. One of her coworkers didn't know she was pregnant. She was a little older (mid 40s) and was told she wasnt able to have children (we've heard that story before). She had one of the other nurses give her the ultrasound because she was concerned it was something else. Her and her husband were so excited because they always wanted a child and hadn't been able to conceive before then.

I got into an argument with my dad as I got older and he told me it wasn’t his fault that it was my choices and I yelled back that I didn’t raise myself and I was a product of their actions.. yea it was bad… now that I have a 14 almost 15 yr old I see things so much clearer… and I was able to realize and forgive.. because just like I was learning about life.. they were learning to be parents.. I’m their oldest.. none of us knew what we were doing lol

    When my older sister and I were teens, we worked for the same fast food restaurant and one day she called off because she had a stomach ache all day. I went to work as usual but she stayed home. Half way through my shift, my dad called to say they were taking her to the hospital because her pains got worse. We thought she may have had appendicitis. By the time I got home from work, they hadn’t returned and my mom came home in the middle of the night to wake up to say my sister had a little baby boy who was healthy and absolutely beautiful. We now call him the Appendicitis Baby.

      Agreed. In general, its good to have this sort of medi knowledge for emergency situations, especially child birth stuff. No one ever expects to be in that situation, but its good to know the basics in case it takes a while for help to arrive, and keep mom calm by not panicking and just being supportive. Of course the professional medical is essential for the arrival of unforeseen bithing complications, but keeping the situation under control can be a difference as well.

    I was on the pill for 5 years (I had dealt with menorrhagia), got married and came off the pill to start a family. After a year of nothing, my ob/gyn decided it wouldn't hurt to do a procedure to investigate if there were any issues due to my history. During the pre-op a few days prior to the procedure, they did a pregnancy test. Lo and behold, I was pregnant! After he was born, at my 6 week check, my ob/gyn suggested a low dose pill, since I was breastfeeding as well. well, 23 months after my son's birth, to the day, to the hour, and nearly to the minute, my daughter was born. She wasn't planned, birth control failure. When she was almost 2, we had come home from a weekend vacation and I had had a cold and was just feeling miserable. My husband suggested taking a pregnancy test, which I did just to humor him. I just had a bad cold, and besides, I was on birth control (the patch this time). Needless to say, after my second daughter was born and we had 3 kids under 5, my husband got a vasectomy. All 3 are adults now, but their birth stories have always given us a chuckle.

My care team refused any medications for it, for risk of deformities, even when I said I was ok with the minimal risk because I couldn't even drink water. The ER finally gave me zofram, and I split them up and rationed them so that I could go halfway through my work shift without rushing to the bathroom every 15 minutes. My front teeth are all destroyed. I was soooo ill, its the reason I don't want any more children. I couldn't do it again.

    watching your friends helped me find out that i was pregnant right away. “hmmm i feel super weird and extra hungry lately.” then i had a dream that i was pregnant on mothers day and took a test, came back inconclusive. I took another test a couple days later and came back positive!! i am 30 weeks and 3 days now and so excited

    I guess I had a Percipitous Delivery! They called me the "5 Minute Girl" when I was in the hospital, because I had my daughter within 5 minutes of arriving there! The drive from my house is under 14 minutes and we left the second I felt the first contraction! It's scary to think that I almost didn't make it!

      20 minutes? That's one speedy delivery.
      I don't know if I was delivered precipitously or not, but my mum sat down to dinner around five o'clock and her water broke. I was born about four hours later. I'm her only child. If her first labor was that quick, I can only imagine the birth stories that might exist if she had given me any siblings.
      I'm still looking for the first husband, but if I were to ever have any children (that clock is ticking) I would hope to get it over quickly like my mum. Who also never had morning sickness. And yes I do occasionally remind her how easily she had me if she acts like I'm being difficult.

At one point she was throwing up twenty times a day and she kept dog poop bags close by to upchuck in. She’s doing amazing now but it was hard.

    Since you like name stories; my husband and I first dated in high school (we broke up and got back together 10 years later). Our first date was hanging out at my house and watching one of my favorite movies, Constantine. So our son is named Konstantine (my husband thinks the letter "c" is arbitrary) after the very first movie we saw together.

    My third pregnancy was a complete surprise. I was on the pill and I took it every night at 10:00 PM. I had my phone alarm set for 10:00 PM and kept it in my purse so I could take it no matter where I was...the grocery store, driving, at home, anywhere. I was a little over two months along when I first missed a menstrual cycle and was shocked but my little guy really wanted to be a part of this world LOL and I'm so glad he did.

    This is one of my biggest fears. Not that I'll go into labor not knowing I was pregnant, but that I'll make it really far into a pregnancy without knowing. I test every month, during my period, just to be sure because my mom, and a few aunts/cousins, bled monthly for the first 4-6 months during their pregnancies. I would want to know immediately so that I can get on pre-natals, quit all alcohol, and limit caffeine intake right away. My first pregnancy was planned, but since we're not planning on having another right now, and birth control doesn't work for my body, I just have to be careful. Also, my first labor from start to finish was 2 1/2 hours long. When my OBGYN told me the second birth could be even faster I told her I better plan for a home birth then. lol

    I had a co-worker (both of us were teachers) who was pregnant for the first time. At the end of one day, she came into the teachers' lounge and said she'd been feeling bad all day. She also was having a terrible backache. Those of us who were moms jumped up immediately and yelled, "you're in labor!". She said, " you think?". One of the teachers grabbed her and high tailed it to the hospital. In a matter of about an hour, she had a beautiful baby boy. We still get a chuckle out of her reaction to being told she was in labor!😅

I always question why people don’t take pregnancy tests (not judging, I put them off sometimes just because even if I have symptoms and miss my period, I struggle with infertility and every negative test breaks my heart) but she legitimately had no reason to think she was pregnant. The acting was so good, the name was adorable and can we give this woman props for not only just realizing she was giving birth but instantly doing what she needed to do all by herself WHILE protecting her other children from getting scared?!

She had served during WWII as a stealth guard (pretended to be a civilian lady) and when she was working at the Los Alamos site during the Manhattan Project was exposed to multiple rounds of radiation via accidents. The US government believed her sterile, and off she went. Fortunately she figured out what was happening during the pregnancy.

    I had a situation where I thought I was pregnant because I was having labor pain and my stomach was tightening the way it did when I was in labor with my first two. It felt 100% like I was in labor. I don't know what happened but I wasn't in labor I wasn't even pregnant. So I can 100% see after watching several I didn't know I was pregnant videos how some people don't even realize they are pregnant even when in labor

    I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant and during the first half of my pregnancy I had HG. It was bad. Had to go to the ER so many times for dehydration because I couldn’t keep water or food down at all. Lost about 20 pounds more or less. Since the first trimester though, I’ve remained at a constant weight. I’m still the same weight I was when I was in the 1st trimester even with my HG basically cleared up and me eating a ton. Baby is appearing healthy at every ultrasound and is quite obviously gaining weight and is moving a ton, so I’m not too worried. Just very perplexed about how my baby is around 5 pounds now but I’m still at the same weight I was in the 1st trimester after I lost 20 or so pounds lol

    This is totally unrelated, and I don’t want to put attention on myself, but I need you to know your saying we do the best with what we know (I may be paraphrasing) is so healing for me. I had a loss at 21+6 (she survived two hours due to prematurity) in 2011 and I still struggle with feeling guilt not knowing I had cervical insufficiency. Deep down, I know I would have done anything for her to stay safely put (and I had an abdominal cerclage which led to safe births of her sister and brother), but just hearing it said by an OBGYN repeatedly for all situations related to pregnancy is so healing.
    Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
