A stomachache that didn't stop for hours already, rushed to e.r and dr. said that I'm already going to give birth😭.... wth 😳 I'm not pregnant, I told her that my stomach is flat, my menstruation is normal and not delayed😭... but dr. said i am one of few rare cases.. we got discharge w/ healthy baby boy😭.. we got home w/ no things for the baby; clothes, ward and etc..
fun fact: 12 yrs married, we did everything for me to get pregnant but were unsuccessful.. we planned to adopt and while processing the papers our house was burned our application got rejected.. we are already at the point of accepting that maybe it's not for us, being a parent..but after 4yrs. miracle happened in unexpected time and way.
I didn't believe that kind of pregnancy existed until it happened to me.. it's a cryptic pregnancy, that's what it's called

Sitting on our front porch a MOTH divebombed my ear. ER 1st said they couldn’t do anything I would have to go to an ENT Monday, it was Sat night.
