Due November 25th!!! In real shock

[SpaghettiMonster]

I only found out I am pregnant on tuesday, or well it was confirmed on tuesday by my doctor.

Then today I went for a dating scan as I couldn't remember the date of my last period (did not keep track just went by when the sugar pills came up) and when we got there the lady took a quick look at the baby and tells us I'm Around 20 weeks.

I was expecting her to say that I am maybe two months at least but 20 weeks?!?!?

I dont get it. I've been taking the pill and aside from the last two periods I missed because I was sick I have had bleeding which I assumed had been my period. Yes the bleeding was very light and I really only needed a pad during the day but I just did not think it was anything other than my period.

I can't believe that half my pregnancy is gone and I didn't even notice. With DS I had heaps of symptoms - sick 24/7 during first trimester, some cravings, no period. But with this pregnancy... Nothing.

I was worried that because I just found out that I was pregnant that the baby would not be ok but apparently everything is good.

So I am in very real state of shock. Have been on auto pilot all afternoon. Once it sinks in a bit DP and I will talk about what we need to do next (medical appointments, what we need to buy, what we are gonna do about money etc etc).

But for now I just need to let it sink in.

Has anyone else not realized they were pregnant until they were around the 20week or more?

Far out that's a pretty big shock! Just had to say congratulations. I hope you can start to enjoy it soon. You were pretty lucky to avoid all the first trimester stuff like ms.

That's a huge shock!

but SO many congratulations to you both! :hyper:

Congrats!!
Wow 20 weeks!!
When I found out I was pregnant with dd3 the doc thought I was about 8-9 weeks went in for my first ultrasound and I was 13 weeks 6 days!!!
Got asked why we waited so long for first u/s my response ' I had no idea I was even preg' lol

My 18 yr old cousin went to the doctor s with her mother , while there she said I haven't had my period since I had my gall bladder surgery which was a few months before hand!! She thought it was to do with that but turned out she was. 32 weeks pregnant and was infact preg when she had her surgery!! Eeeekkk

I had a friend who was 26 weeks when she found out... She went off the pill, her and hubby dtd that weekend and then not again. She was waiting for it to normalize after being on the pill so long, and she wouldn't let him near her until she got her first period. She also joined weight watchers because she was having trouble losing weight. She was complaining at work one day that it'd been 6 months since her last period (and therefore since she had had sexy time) and we were all like :eek: and made her do a pee stick on her lunch break, and sure enough. Big fat lines!

Funny thing was she hadn't looked pregnant, but about 2 weeks after finding out, her belly was sooo round. We figure she must have been holding it in, thinking she was just putting on weight, and when she realized she let it all go.

She was not happy, and she felt robbed of those first months. She absolutely didn't want kids. Ever.

Anyway, fast forward and she has a 4yr old, 3yr old (born 11months, 3 weeks apart) and a 1yr old. And one of the loveliest mummies I know :)

My friend was 22 weeks when she found out she was pregnant with her fifth child. I have no idea how she didn't know after having done it four times already but she'd been complaining she was trying to lose weight but it wasn't working (shd wasnt a big girl either- maybe a size 12). I hadn't noticed she looked pregnant at all. She wanted to terminate but they said too late. But is very happy now with her son :)

Congratulations Spaghetti Monster.

What a shock but i am sure your ds will make a great big brother.

Gosh i can't believe he is 16 months already.

I hope you have a smooth rest of your pregnetcy Good luck with it all.


Though myself i didn't find out till i was 13 +6 days with Corey and my blood test came back i was 6-7 wks.

Thanks CM12 :)

The time really flies doesn't it. Seems like only yesterday he was a new born.

So far this pregnancy has been heaps better than my last with DS. Though my breasts are tender this time which is annoying but other than that all good. I'm just hoping this baby doesn't later decide to push up on my ribs like DS did.
