Today, I learned it is in fact possible to give birth despite having had no symptoms of pregnancy, including no weight gain. Our daughter made a surprise appearance this morning at 6 lbs exactly, and we are in no way ready. We don’t even have clothes for her. My husband is acting like he’s been concussed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I just got home in a state of shock. My wife was apparently pregnant without realising it, with no weight gain, then she gave birth at 1 a.m. It was supposed to be a normal Sunday then poof, we have a baby and a house we haven’t baby-proofed. We don’t even have nappies or clothes. FML
Today, we learned that my fiancée was having a cryptic pregnancy when she went to the hospital fearing food poisoning and came out with a baby. She never gained a pound or showed any symptoms at all. Even more miraculous is that we’re both women. Yeah my world is pretty much over. FML
Today, I found out I'm pregnant. The kicker is, I'm 5 months pregnant and didn't even know it - no symptoms, nothing. I thought it was weight gain due to antidepressants and I'm also dealing with financial issues. I'm too far along to get an abortion, and adoption is not an option. FML
Today, I happily told my husband I'm pregnant. He happily informed me that very, VERY large babies run in his family, and even though he was born 3 weeks early, he still weighed 15 lbs. The smallest baby to ever be born into his family was his great grandmother, who was 12 lbs. OH GOD, THE PAIN. FML
Today, after losing five pounds from being sick, my first customer at work greeted me with, “Aaaahhhh, you’re expecting!” I’m not pregnant. I guess I didn’t lose my gut. FML
Today, I took my wife and newborn baby girl home from the hospital. While waiting for the elevator, an elderly couple leaned over, saw our baby, and said, "Look, it's the fat kid that was in the nursery." My baby is six and a half pounds, and my wife hasn't stopped crying. FML
Today, I ran into an old friend at the store with my infant daughter. As we caught up, she assured me that I could get rid of all my baby weight from the pregnancy. If only I had actually been pregnant. My wife carried her and looks fantastic. FML
Today, I gave birth to my firstborn child. Somehow, my mom and mother-in-law made their way to the delivery room, and walked in mid-push. While they were escorted out, I overheard my mother-in-law asking the nurse how her son, my husband, was holding up. FML
Today, my twin sister gave birth and somehow now weighs less than before she was pregnant. She also has huge boobs now and not a stretch mark in sight. Meanwhile, I’m still carrying an extra 15 pounds, even though I gave birth 5 years ago, and so many stretch marks I look like a fat zebra. FML
Today, my son was finally born. He was the perfect weight, as healthy as can be, and has his father’s dark, chocolate complexion. At least I’m guessing so, since both my wife and I are white. FML

She literally just said she had no symptoms, you can still have a period when you’re pregnant

That is absolutely insane!! It's a crazy ride, even when you do prepare.. Ask for help, get support if you can, and keep an eye on your mental health, for both you and your husband.. I'm sure it feels overwhelming, but you will be ok!

So...the baby never once moved even an inch while she carried her for 9 months?

Not everyone has regular periods. And I felt little uterus movements when I was still a virgin, it doesn't always mean you're pregnant, there are muscles that can twitch and such on their own.

I think your husband is right. WTF? Did you just steal a baby and pretend you gave birth to it? That's more likely.

so you obviously haven't gone through menopause and haven't had a period for 8 1/2 - 9 months and didn't think at least, 'hey what's up with my body?' you're an idiot, but congrats anyway.

Op said she had no symptoms of pregnancy, and you can still get your period while pregnant.

Hidden pregnancies are a real medical phenomenon where the body hides all the symptoms of pregnancy, and yes, they can include fake periods to really make it undetectable. The however seldom make it all the way to birth without being discovered, and when they are, the mom typically start looking and feeling pregnant within minutes of finding out. Look it up.

It happens. I bet it’s a shock. Those first days will be a rollercoaster but you’ll manage and hopefully have a great time. Congratulation to both of you, welcome to your child!
