The discovery of a 5-month pregnancy by a mother who was raising an 8-month-old daughter has been shared on social media. In a video, the mother emotionally narrates how she was not aware she was pregnant again, as she had not yet menstruated and had no sickness or signs of pregnancy.
She attributed her lean body to exclusive breastfeeding and wore waist trainers, not knowing that she was carrying another baby. The mother started antenatal care once she discovered the pregnancy and continued to breastfeed her daughter until she was 11 months old. She had been preparing her daughter for her first birthday photo shoot when she was 8 months pregnant. The video has gone viral on social media.
In her video narration, she wrote;
“Let’s talk abt how I got pregnant for 5 months without knowing. Few months after giving birth to my daughter, I was growing lean but I thought it was bcoz I was doing exclusive breastfeeding.
I had not yet menstruated which is normal. No sickness, not even a sign of pregnancy. My daughter was growing very well despite my hidden pregnancy. I was putting on waist trainers each very time without knowing I was pregnant.
I finally found out and started antenatal, my daughter was 8 months then. I still breastfeeded her till she was 11 months old. Things weren’t easy at all. I was preparing her for her birthday shoot. I was 8 months pregnant.”
