Woman discovers pregnancy four days before childbirth: 'My miracle'

Thamires Fernandes Thelles, 23 years, of St. Paul, Brazil, she was afraid when she learned she was pregnant again.

Four days after the discovery, the 23-year-old gave birth to her son, born 7 months pregnant and to whom she gave the name of Lorenzo. In an interview with Grow up, Thamires said she did not feel the signs of pregnancy.

Already having a 2-year-old daughter, the girl knew how to cope with pregnancy and, feeling nothing, she did not suspect she was expecting another baby. She also did two pharmacy tests at her husband's insistence, but both tested negative. He simply found the discomfort he felt from time to time odd.

“I have not had any drastic changes in my body. Since I am already hypertensive, it is very common for me to have dizziness and headaches. But my feet didn't swell and I didn't have contractions before the water broke. " On June 30, a child of 40 cm and 2.098 kg was born. “Thank God, he was born big and healthy and didn't have to stay in the hospital,” she said.

“My period was normal, it never came late. In April I was just feeling a little sick with a stomach ache. I went to the doctor and there was nothing relevant. Everything was fine… I was working normally: no nausea, no heartburn or pain. I didn't feel swollen, I had no desire, my tummy wasn't growing and I didn't even feel the baby move, ”she said.

Thamires reported that she was very ill on June 25 and a blood test confirmed her pregnancy. “I thought I was three or four months pregnant. I went home, talked to my husband and, before starting antenatal care, we decided to schedule an ultrasound and we set it for July 1st. On the 29th I worked normally all day, I went to pick up my baby who was with my mother-in-law, I made dinner and went to bed. At around 21:30 pm I heard a strange noise in my belly. I got up running and it was the waters that had broken. I had nothing, not even a pair of socks for the baby! We didn't even know about sex! ”.

At the hospital, the woman discovered she was 7 months pregnant: “I did an ultrasound and the doctor said I was 7 months and 4 days pregnant! I almost went crazy! It was seven months, seven months! Nothing made sense! ”.

“The moment I discovered the pregnancy, I was shocked, I didn't want to have another child. First, because we didn't have the right financial conditions at that time and also because it was never my dream to have two children. So when I found out, I cried a lot. I thought I had a shorter gestation period and there was no contact with the baby still in the womb. Sometimes I look at my baby and I think it's just a dream. But I love my baby, my miracle that came to show me that things don't happen when we would like them to happen. She is almost 2 months old, she is growing very well: she breastfeeds very well, sleeps well and does not give me work ”, he celebrated. Thamires' husband asked his friends for help and they got clothes and products for the baby.
