Shocking News (Rarely Happens)

What I Thought......

            Everything started with the story of having a "beer belly". I was freaking out when a tiny belly showed up on the month of July. First of all, I believed that my belly was either from drinking beers or gastritis problem. When I had an appointment to see my surgeon before my surgery on July, I've asked him what would be the best treatment for gastritis. I had stopped drinking beers when my tiny belly showed up because I never liked having the belly :( So my last thought about my tiny belly was the gastritis problem because I couldn't fart or burp at all. I also felt "gas movement" in my stomach. My surgeon told me that Gas-X would help a lot so I took the chance to buy the Gas-X to get rid of my gas problem. Unfortunately, the Gas-X never helped at all. I tried everything I could find in CVS pharmacy to cure my problem but nothing has worked. Finally, the woman that worked at the CVS told me to try Tums because I maybe could have an indigestion problem as well. I bought the Tums but it didn't help me at all. The second thing I bought at the CVS was a pill that helps lose your belly after 2 weeks. I even did abs exercise at home and I was following a diet plan just to get rid of my belly. But after doing all the hard work, nothing was changing and nothing was helping me at all. So I gave up and just ignore the fact of me having a tiny belly.

What Happened Next.....

          July 18, 2013 was my recent surgery for my nose. Although, it was only a short time surgery (5-6hours). I was on recovery for 2-3 weeks and I was on huge amount of medications as well throughout my recovery. Before my surgery, my belly has grown. A lot of people would ask me "Are you pregnant?" and I would answer "No, I am not. Just a beer belly." Many doesn't believe it was beer belly because the way my belly was growing. But I knew I wasn't pregnant because for many reasons: 1) I have my regular period every 5-6 days every month 2) My boyfriend and I took at least 3 pregnancy tests and all came out NEGATIVE 3) I was tests for pregnancy the day of my surgery on late July and it was NEGATIVE so the doctors were able to do the surgery and 4) I have no pregnancy symptoms at all. So I knew I wasn't pregnant at all. But "what is going on?" was my question that needed an answer.

The ANSWER to my question.....

             After my recovery, I had my appointment to see my surgeon on August 26, 2013, the day before my school starts. The surgery and the recovery was very successful. My nose is healthy and is doing great! During my appointment, one of the nurse from the hospital had asked me "Are you expecting......?" when she saw my belly. My brother and I told her the story about my belly but the story was unbelievable for the nurse. The nurse told me that I should take a urine test just to make sure. So I took the urine test that day. Five minutes after, my surgeon came in the room where my brother and I were waiting. One thing I noticed from my surgeon's face was a disappointment look on his face. He told us that the urine test came out positive for pregnancy and that there's a baby inside my stomach. "No that's impossible" was what I said to him. My brother and I were very very very shocked. Our faces were indefinable after hearing about the baby inside my stomach all this time. My surgeon told us that the result can be "false positive" but to make everything clear, he wanted me to follow up to my other doctor in Stamford Clinic. He wanted me to have blood and urine tests done to follow up the pregnancy news. Later that week, Friday of August 30th, I visited the clinic with my brother to get the clear results of the pregnancy. I told my doctor everything and she told me that she rarely heard a story like mine. She had me take a urine test first, then blodd after. Few minutes after, the urine test came out positive and my doctor said "Cherry, you're definitely pregnant!" I didn't know what to say and what to do. First thing I had on my mind was I was VERY scared. I just didn't know what to do after all. How could it be? How could I not realized about the baby inside? I don't know but at least I knew about it. Now just need to find out how many months the baby, and his/her health situation inside my womb.
