So, on Sunday morning i get a phone call from my sister telling me that my niece had just given birth to a baby boy.
She did not know she was pregnant. No one knew she was pregnant. She really had no pregnancy signs at all. She woke up in the night in agony, was rushed to hospital and was already 9cm dilated.
The baby is small but it still classed as a good size. At this stage bub is still in hospital as they have no idea if he is premature, so they want to keep an eye on him.
He doesnt have a name yet.
Usually you get 9 months to prepare for a baby, buy baby things, pick a name etc. My niece had about an hour to prepare for bub.
Its not completely un common for something like this to happen. I have read about things like this in magazines, but geez, i think my family has had enough WTF things happen to last a lifetime.
Sorry, babies move in the womb. You had one before and don't realise you are again? DENIAL.
The baby had very minor movement. My niece had not been eating much and said the movement felt like tummy rumble.
She had moved back home to her Mums place in the last 2 weeks and had started eating better and had gained a very small pot belly which they all assumed was because she was now eating better.
When I was young, I was an admitting officer in a hospital and saw 2 cases of exactly the same thing.
Bub has a name now, Cooper.
Its one of those things that unless you have been a witness to it, unless you know the details, you wouldnt believe it.
