Surprise Pregnancy Stories

[LadyLuna]

I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread where we remind each other that nature is very tricky. I put it here cause I figure every girl aught to see this whether she's a model or not, and that some of the guys might have these sorts of stories.

The type of stories I'm looking for are where the pregnancy is a surprise due to either preventative measures, continuation of menstrual cycles, or menopause.

I'll go first. In the following stories, first sentence is the basics of who, and why it was a surprise. Then I give some details for the curious. I've actually seen just about every surprise out there... These stories are in chronological order, all are over a couple years old.

1. My adoptive mother with my younger brother, birth control and operations. My mother has Endometriosis. She was taking birth control to help slow the process and to ease the pain of cramps. Due to the high risk of her dying if she had another child after my two older brothers, one of my parents had the operation to prevent further pregnancies. So imagine their surprise when they discovered that she was pregnant!

2. A math teacher past menopause. One of the math teachers at my college was.. well, she looked around 60 but I think she was older than that. Well past menopause. She discovered her pregnancy only went she went into labor!

3. A friend of mine, negative test results the first month, bled through the first three months. One of my friends, who also has Endometriosis, missed a period and discovered she had been pregnant for four months! She bled through the first three months as normal, and even had a negative reading on the pregnancy test before the first period after having sex.

As you can see, the only way to guarantee no pregnancy is to not have sex. I have decided (and have mostly stuck with) the regiment of taking a pregnancy test every month either right before or right after my period. If I ever stop having sex, I plan to continue it for a couple months after the last time, just to be on the safe side.

My kiddo was a surprise.
Her dad and I used condoms EVERY SINGLE TIME and yet somehow, she still happened.
Oh well she's awesome.

My kid was a HUGE surprise. I rarely get periods and because of that, my OB/GYN was pretty adamant that I shouldn't be ovulating, either. I always used condoms with my partner just in case, because I felt like I was too young for kids. A condom broke one night and the next day I got the morning after pill (Plan B) to be on the safe side. Some time later I was being lazy and watching a movie in bed (Four Christmases) and in a scene Reese Witherspoon was taking a pregnancy test. I was home alone and bored, knew I had a pregnancy test in the bathroom and decided to take it. (I had nothing better to do, honestly.) That test, and the three other brands of tests I bought after that, told me I was pregnant.

No birth control is 100% effective. Ever. I was using 3 types and wound up pregnant, against the odds even.

I wouldn't change it for the world now, 2 years later, but damn that little pink plus sign was like a giant slap in a face with a two by four. :lol:

Mine was a surprise. We'd been through four miscarriages in a year and a half, one of which was a molar pregnancy that required surgery. We'd been told that after that many miscarriages the likelihood of me actually getting pregnant was close to nothing. We decide to stop trying and I start birth control again. About six months after that we find out we're moving to New Mexico for Master's job. I was on depo which is every three months and my three months was up just as we moved so I missed my shot. Didn't think twice, started using condoms a bit haphazardly. We'd been told that it took several months for depo to actually totally wear off so we didn't start using condoms regularly until about a month after I'd missed my next dose.

So, we're in the middle of a move from Florida to New Mexico and we're house hunting with a two week time frame before we're both supposed to start working. We need to find a house right quick. So...we're looking at the third or fourth house of the day and I just burst into tears. Randomly. No reason for it but I pull myself together and decide. "Okay, it's the stress I'm under and I miss my family, no biggy."

Three weeks after that I can't believe how tired I am. Just exhausted all the time, sleeping like sixteen to eighteen hours a day and still feeling exhausted. Once again, I decide it's because of the move and the fact that I'm still unpacking boxes and I've just started a new job. Well...two months after that I suddenly realize that I haven't had to curse mother nature in a while and that's a tad bit odd so, not expecting anything I grab one of the pregnancy tests we have in the cabinet since we bought the bulk package when we'd been "trying." Boom. Plus sign.

I freaked out all the way up until viability. Spent the whole time insisting that they'd told me this wasn't going to happen and that I was absolutely sure something terrible was going to happen. But...nothing bad happened and I have an awesome little hell machine to prove it. :-D

With my health problems and endometriosis, it's very likely I could end up like one of those ladies on 'I'm pregnant and didn't know it'. It doesn't help though that every time something is off, my parents automatically ask if it's because I'm pregnant. I'm so jaded about it now that if I ever do end up being able to get pregnant, I won't believe it until I'm going into labor. :lol:

All doctors will automatically ask if you could be pregnant as well, and no matter what your answer is, will run a pregnancy test. :lol:

They just don't tell you :shhh: :lol:

 

[Rose]

They just don't tell you :shhh: :lol:

Then they must test me when I breathe because they aren't collecting pee samples or drawing blood. :lol:

 

[MystiRose]

They just don't tell you :shhh: :lol:

Ha Ha, yeah it'd be pretty hard for a Dr to run a pregnancy test without us knowing. I've never had blood drawn for any testing so if they ask me to pee in a cup I know I'm getting a prego test, unless for some reason my Dr wants to drug test me :lol:
Besides that, I've only been asked the routine pregnancy questions when I go in for my lady exams. Most doctors these days don't do any more than they have to, chances are if you don't ask for it the Dr isn't going to waste time/money running "unnecessary" tests.

Ok, you got me there. :-D But if you are in your child bearing years and are having sex, it would be unwise of them to not check if you are having any problems and thus seeing a doctor. Unless you have had a hysterectomy of course.

Maybe it is just the doctors I work with that like to order many unnecessary tests. :lol:

Or unless they've proven that I have major fertility problems and it's highly unlikely for me to get pregnant. If I could get pregnant without assistance from my doctor it would be very high risk and I would most likely miscarry. If/when the time comes for children, I'm going to need outside assistance to get pregnant and carry to full term.

Maybe it's just because I haz the baby feva, but these stories are supa cuyuuuute!

Oh, hey, I was so wrapped up in talking about my little munchkin that I totally forgot to mention that surprise pregnancy runs in the family. :lol: So, my dad and mom had been "dating" for just under seven months. I put that in parenthesis because he wanted a shag when he was in town and she wanted to prove to her parents that she wasn't a lesbian so they wouldn't write her out of the will. Bible belt, what can you do?

My mother had endometriosis and on top of it was taking anabolic steroids. We're not sure why but without them I probably wouldn't be alive. NICU care in the late 80's is nothing like it is today. She wasn't having periods because of the steroids and was at the time losing weight at approximately the same rate she was gaining baby. So...one morning my mom wakes up and she's just feeling terrible. Weird stomach cramps, nausea, feverish feeling. So, she heads to the doctors office and is informed "You're six weeks pregnant but the baby is dead. Here's a local abortion clinic, head over there and they'll fix you up."

So, she heads to said clinic, still feeling very woozy and kind of weirded out because my dad has been out to sea for about four months and well...she's a lesbian so there weren't no other boy bits in the equation. She figures, dumb doctor and shrugs it off. Heads to abortion clinic. While there she's informed that she's not six weeks pregnant, she's six months pregnant. Go home. Congratulations and I really hope you're thrilled with that news. So, she goes home and she calls her mom, panicking, who tells her to calm down and take a warm bath, they've got months to figure out what they'll do...and inform my dad, of course.

Well, as she climbs into the warm bath she starts getting terrible back pains and she starts throwing up constantly. She calls her mother back and asks if she could please take her to the hospital because the stress or panic attack or whatever is really taking a toll. According to the story I was told, she actually jumped to the conclusion that she was having a heart attack before the idea that she was in labor ever occurred to her. I guess she hadn't known she was pregnant long enough to realize that labor might actually be a thing she'd have to go through. Well, she gets to the ER, gets rushed to the Mother's and Babies ward and about two hours later I'm born. Exactly two pounds and I'm rushed to the NICU. Just as my mother is starting to relax the doctor--who has not been informed that she JUST learned that she was pregnant just hours before--calmly states "Hold on, the second one is breech"

To which, my mother responds with a string of disbelieving and universe cursing expletives. Moments later, my twin sister is born at 2lbs 2oz. Our lungs were miraculously strong and we were extremely well developed for being so premature. If it hadn't been for the steroids we probably wouldn't have had the lung development to survive. All in all, probably the worst day in my mother's life and one of the most chaotic. "You're pregnant, but not really. Oh wait, really. Oh, hey, you're in labor. Oh, Goody, it's twins! How should we contact the father?" :lol:

 

[CelticXkisses]

Well with my youngest i was late they did ultrasounds and blood test and told me know there's no baby in there i was like i am telling you i know the signs ! well i just excepted the fact that i was crazy and after three months of no period i was had given up on figuring it out . they told me i had cyst and that i would have trouble having any more kids. the day before Christmas i go in for a cold and they wanted to do an ex ray i was like ok sure. well since i was so late they demanded i do prego test i was like ok your wasting ur time ! After waiting an hour and them doing a throat culture . the doctor walks in " you test positive for strep and pregnecy ! " my husband nearly dropped my one year old son lol i was like well no shit ! turns out i was 3 and half months prego and she came a month early ! so we had no time to get ready lol. ( this was the third blood test i did )

 

[Jaydenrainey]

i was a surprise because my mom was told by a dr she couldn't get pregnant. 6 children later...
if i ever manage to procreate it will be a huge shock.

Holy. Shit.

This would have killed me. My son was born at 39 weeks, I was 4 weeks when I found out so that left me 35 weeks to prepare. 35 weeks was not enough time. I can hardly imagine less than 24 hours of preparation. I doubt it had even sunk in that I was really pregnant for a good 10 weeks or so. :lol:

 

[Jessi]

This thread is making me really paranoid. I'm getting a pee stick every time I have a pimple or a headache from now on.

 

[IsabelleL]

yeah as someone who unfortunately appears to be super fertile, these stories are terrrifying me

 

[LadyLuna]

Girls, no need to panic. Just take the test right before, or right after, each period, and you should have enough warning! There are no guarantees, of course, but that's just life.

I'm a firm believer that no one is really ready for a child until they become parents anyway.
