We're not in that town anymore, but I bought a couple of cute stretchies, a pack of bodysuits and some nourishing body cream. (Neutral colors, I don't know if it was a girl or boy, and when I asked the receptionist she said she can't tell me, confidentiality reasons.)
I wrote a cute note, congratulating her and wishing her all the best, and included my (first) name and cell-phone numb. DH just went to post it, and guess I'll wait and see if I hear from her! I'm guessing not, but one never knows! |
So sweet of you! Please update us if she responds. I’m a bit invested in this story lol!

I know someone personally that didnt know she was pregnant until her 7th month.
I actually didnt know I was pregnant... until I miscarried. Still a mystery of how long I was pregnant Id assume a couple of months!
I was breastfeeding 8 month old, no periods, felt hungry, some reg progesterone continuous postpartum feelings and overwhelm... once day I just started having abnormal bleeding, went to dr, he took ultrasound and told me theres a fetus that developed until 9 weeks in there but was shriveled so its hard to know how long it was there and dead...needed a d&c and ended up with a bad uterine infection I guess cuz it was there too long.

Yes will update if I ever hear from her! Love the way everyone loves the story! The whole drama is so not 'me', I'm the most boring predictable type, not the type who always seem to be caught up in the latest hock!

I love that you did this!! So nice of you. The mom can use all the help and warmth she can get, a surprise pregnancy can be traumatizing let alone a surprise labor and birth my goodness.

Is there a chance that the mom knew that she's pregnant but never told grandma. Maybe she was hiding it from her mother?
Could be she wasn't due yet so didn't think she's in labor?

Wondering the same! She didn't say much, she was literally ready to give birth so the Mom was doing all the talking and dramatics!
She didn't contribute much to the questions, neither denying or agreeing when her stomach pains were diagnosed as 'labor'. But let's face it Imas, how coherent are we moments before birth??
I'm finding myself hopeful that I'll hear from her, altho it won't get to the Doc's office till tomo, then they have to get it to her... Can't deny that I'm holding my breath!

She called! I got an email saying the package had arrived at the urgent-care on Shabbos, which I followed up with a call, in which they told me they had let Ms. X know there was a package..
She called this morning to say thank you, she was really touched! She said she hadn't noticed anyone or anything, and was quite embarrassed that anyone saw her in that state!
I only spoke to her for a few minutes, but my golly she told me her life story, well, not really but ykwim!
She honestly had no clue she was pregnant, although she was feeling nauseous for a few weeks, but she'd been overseas and attributed it to the change of diet.. She's a high powered accountant, worked her way up and was hoping to become a partner in her firm. She said she called her boss to say that she's taking maternity leave, to say he was shocked is an understatement, esp when he asked her when she's due, and she said she's had the baby...she was at work the afternoon before!
She'd recently changed her BC, and had a couple of light irregular periods, so while that's unusual for her, she put it down to the change of BC.
Contrary to what her Mom said, she knows who the farther is! They got on well, but although she likes him, they decided that they'd just be friends, neither were ready to commit at that point. She's at her Mom's now, who's looking after her well, and he dad is chuffed with his new status as Grampa! She has a brother in his 20s who at University but has been to see her, and they're all spoiling her.
He partner has taken an apartment near her parents and is taking his duties as a Dad very seriously, and they're not sure if they'll be a family, but she hopes so...they're taking it slowly.
Oh, it was a girl!

This happened to my grandmother a”h with my father.
She was on a bus, didn’t know she was pregnant, and felt a strong kick.
She turned around to find out who kicked her….
She was 8 months pregnant.

I don't get it.
Baby kicking inside doesn't feel like someone kicking your seat...

What a story!
I wonder if she was able to figure out about when she got pregnant. And how did she not feel anything but the slight nausea…
Thanks for the update op!!

Wow! I'm happy the baby has a stable home
It was a bc fail?
Why didn't she realize she'd gained weight?
Was she full term?
