So my daughter didn’t know she was pregnant, are you guys doing any more episodes because this just blew my mind today.
I didn’t know I was pregnant.
The day I knew I was pregnant was when I gave birth at home and almost died.
Back in August 2020, I was involved in a nonconsensual event with a now ex. I have ongoing health issues that are similar to pregnancy symptoms, so anytime I had nausea , vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, etc, my mind would always go to my unknown health issues.
I also did not show. I gained a little weight, but nothing that would seem to be pregnancy…just a “oh she’s growing older and she’s gaining weight. She’s not in sports in high school so she’s just been gaining weight.”
I also had spotting during my pregnancy which is normal, but I always correlated it to my normal period which only lasted 2 days for my normal period duration.
I ended up giving birth at home alone with no medicine in my bathtub, lost over 2/3 of my blood supply, and nearly died.
Happy you’re ok! Your story is similar to mine but I didn’t lose a lot of blood. Very scary time
