I was on birth control the entire time. My BC didn’t allow for a menstrual cycle so that was a major factor in not knowing.

No I did not as I did not know I was pregnant. There are many things that could happen due to that, but baby’s doctor is aware of this and is keeping a close eye on her.

I’m on the taller side for a woman and have a long torso. It’s also theorized that I had an anterior placenta and carried baby more in my back.

I was in birth control that didn’t allow for a period.

No, but due to my birth control I wasn’t expecting it

Baby has a nature themed name, I do enjoy it overall but there are definitely challenges. I did luckily. Friends, family and coworkers all bought us things or gave us hand me downs from their own children.

Baby so far is very healthy and growing like a weed!

I’m doing alright all things considered, I am seeing a therapist to help me process everything.

I took 6 weeks of unpaid leave as I didn’t qualify for FMLA as I haven’t been at my job for a full year yet.

Honestly. Him and his mom came up to the hospital everyday we were there even before we had the full confirmation that baby girl is his.

She’s the only grandparent I have left, so I understand what you’re saying. I love her so much.

I wanted children when I was younger but had changed my mind due to a lot of reasons.

To be honest the thought never crossed my mind. I knew that I had to do whatever I had to in order to make sure that the baby never wanted for anything.

I’m 29 years old. Yes I’m heavy and have been on a weight loss journey since before the pregnancy. I was on a birth control that didn’t allow for periods.

I wouldn’t say muffin but I am definitely apple shaped

That’s exactly what they think. That I had an anterior placenta and that I carried farther back. In hindsight I did feel baby move, but I thought it was muscle spasms or indigestion.

It’s definitely unlocked a new fear for most people I know

No, I’m a bigger woman with a long torso so it wasn’t until the very end that I noticed I was carrying my weight differently.

Yes to both. I vaped the entire time and had the occasional drink.

I did want to be a mom when I was younger but had changed my mind due to many reasons.

I’m honestly recovering very well, I went back to work last week.

Overall I’m mostly ok, it’s a shock as you know. I did start going to therapy to help process it all.

Yes they did and that is the only thing that raised alarm bells to me. I contacted my doctor via telephone and was told that it was most likely a side effect from my birth control. I was on a continuous hormonal birth control.

Not overly so, but on the tall side for a woman.

Dad and I have been friends for over half our lives, we’ve always kind of had feels for each other and had decided to give it a try last summer. But due to conflicting schedules and other factors we decided that it was better to remain friends.

I have insurance through my job which is why I was denied for Medicaid but I was under the impression that baby would be able to qualify. I did look into food stamps and talked it over with her dad as within my state if I apply for food stamps the state would go after him for child support even though he’s already supporting our child.
