When I was pregnant with my first there was a woman with a killer figure at my ante natal classes. She would arrive in a leotard. Super flat tummy and not an ounce of fat on her. Turned out she was 8 months pregnant.

Wow, how is that possible? What a big surprise though!

I’m always amazed tat you can get to nine months without realising – a wonderful surprise, I guess, but you’d miss out on some joys not knowing you were pregnant.

What a shock. My friend who was pregnant with her 5th child didn’t know she was pregnant until the last two months. Her period stopped so she took 3 pregnancy tests during that time and all came back negative. In the end she went to the Dr as her tummy started to bulge and thought something was dreadfully wrong-nope, just a baby. She had no other symptoms other than the missing period. BTW, they later found out she happened to buy from a faulty batch of pregnancy tests which were recalled due to showing negative results whilst preganat!

  Terrible!! That company should be sued!!

Such an amazing surprise! I must say I don’t like the lady still fitting into her size 8 dresses! Oh to be that lucky!

What an amazing surprise. So pleased they are now a family. Having experienced a terrible 9 months of pregnancy, I cannot imagine going through it all unaware. I imagine they were so unprepared but will be flooded with love and gifts etc. to prepare them for their new baby.

I am constantly amazed by women who give birth but had no idea they were pregnant. It must be a massive shock

Beautiful stories ! Congrats to the babies & parents !

Two amazing pregnancy /birth stories! After it taking hubby and I 8 years to conceive and carry a healthy full-term pregnancy I can understand the joy that must have been felt by the first couple. Congratulations to both new mums!

Lucky, lucky mum. Bet Princess Kate would love to be pregnant that way instead of so awfully sick. Best wishes to Charlotte and Molly and I’m sure the grandparents are besotted too.

Congratulations! Wish my belly had stayed flat.

If you still have regular periods it takes longer for you to find out your are pregnant, especially if you have no symptoms. I know a lady whose baby decided to press against ribs. It caused the Mujm discomfort with soreness and being short of breath.

Oh my! This is so incredible. Even more thinking that she suffered of polycystic ovarian syndrome. A big change in their life. And missing nine months of preparation. But so glad to see they are so happy!! Congrats!!

Part of me feels like it would be SO scary to suddenly be a mum without any warning, but the part of me that had a really difficult last pregnancy is kind of envious that they could not know.
