4 days agoNews TopicsComments Off on I partied HARD, had periods & got a negative pregnancy test after my first baby but was secretly expecting her sister
A PARTY girl admits she went out drinking and vaping while heavily pregnant – not realising she was carrying a baby until GIVING BIRTH.
Zenia Mitchell claims she looked ‘huge’ when pregnant with her first daughter, now two, and she and her boyfriend had no plans of having a second.

The 27-year-old admits she was partying ‘heavily’ a couple of months before giving birth to her surprise second child, as it had been her birthday followed by her sister’s.
The phenomenon, known as a cryptic pregnancy, meant Zenia said she maintained her periods and didn’t notice any differences.
She even had a pregnancy test come back negative when she once missed her period.
On March 26, the pharmacy technician felt a trickle of water run down her leg while making dinner for her daughter, but ignored it thinking it was nothing.
But after it happened another four times, Zenia said her mum who drove her to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in the US.
Doctors reportedly told Zenia she was 30 weeks pregnant and in active labour after performing an ultrasound and blood test.
The ‘shocked’ mum said she cried after hearing she was pregnant and felt guilty for unknowingly drinking and partying, worried it would affect the baby’s health.
A few hours later, Zenia gave birth to her daughter, Skye Thompson, who was ‘100 per cent healthy’, weighing 5lb 13oz.
Zenia, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US, said: “I went to make my daughter something to eat and when I got up, a little trickle of water came out of me.
“At first I thought I had to go to the bathroom, maybe more than I anticipated. But when I got up it happened again, a little trickle of water.
“I called my mum and said there’s something going on, there’s fluid coming out of me. She said the only way is if I was pregnant.
“She drove me to hospital and they tested me for STDs and pregnancy.
“The doctor came back and told me I was pregnant. I said ‘who is pregnant?’ I thought she was giving me someone else’s information.

“We had to do a blood test and ultrasound to see how far I was and I thought I can’t be that far along because I didn’t look pregnant. Maybe a few weeks.
“At that point I was quite scared.
“They told me I was 30 weeks pregnant and my water had broken so I was in active labour.
“They transferred me to the delivery room and told me I would have a baby by tonight or tomorrow.
“I cried from the time they told me I was pregnant and while having the baby.

“I was living my life as normal, I was drinking, I was partying, my birthday and my sister’s birthday had just passed.
“I felt really bad because I was drinking all that time. Her overall health worried me, but at that point there was nothing I could do.
“But she came out 100 per cent healthy, nothing wrong with her.
“I didn’t know but I was partying a lot at that time, two or three months before she was born, definitely partying a little hard during those months.
“I was vaping but didn’t smoke anything.
What is a cryptic pregnancy?
What is a “cryptic pregnancy”?
By medical definition, a cryptic pregnancy is one that is failed to be detected by medical testing.
There may be signs there, but essentially a cryptic pregnancy is one where these signs are not obvious to the woman, or she denies they are there.
A pregnancy test may come back negative even after the woman has missed her period for a number of medical reasons.
If she does get an ultrasound despite a negative pregnancy test, it’s possible a pregnancy won’t show up in the first trimester because of problems such as the way the uterus is shaped, or simply because the medic doesn’t spend time looking for it if they don’t believe it’s there.
Most people notice symptoms of pregnancy such as tender and swollen breasts, mood swings, fatigue, and nausea early on in their pregnancy.
But this could be dismissed by the woman as being caused by something else, such as a condition or diet.
There are also cases where someone become pregnant in their early teens before they understand the symptoms of pregnancy.
Cryptic pregnancies aren’t common, but they’re not unheard of, either. Anecdotal evidence suggests that women might not be aware of their pregnancies in up 1 in 475 cases, according to a British Medical Journal report.
Some women are more likely to have a cryptic pregnancy than others because they believe it is not possible for them to have a child.
It includes those with PCOS, who may have been told it will be difficult for them to have a child, and women on birth control pills, because the woman thinks the pill will protect her entirely from conceiving.
Women with low body fat may also fail to detect they are pregnant if their periods are irregular or absent as a result of being so slim.
Babies born from a cryptic pregnancy tend to be underweight, and the lack of prenatal care may affect their development.
But what about the bump?
A women may have a smaller bump – one she and others around her deem insignificant – for a number of reasons.
TikTok sensation NHS surgeon Dr Karan Rajan explained: “Most women have an anteverted uterus, [meaning] it’s slightly tilted forwards.
“But one in five have a backwards tilt towards the spine.”
The GP explained that for some women, their uterus may remain tiled backwards for the duration of their pregnancy.
“This ‘backwards growth’ could hide any bump,” he stated.
Other factors that could result in an invisible pregnancy could be “previous surgery, endometriosis and other gynaecological conditions [that] could scar the utroseacral ligament”.
“These are basically biological anchors which keep the uterus fixed to the spine and inside the pelvic cavities,” Dr Rajan explained.
“If these are stiff because of scarring, these ligaments can literally hold the uterus back and stop it from protruding too far out.”
People who are taller also have more of a chance of not displaying a noticeable bump when they’re expecting, the NHS surgeon went on.
“If you’re taller, you’ll have a longer torso so there’ll be more space for the uterus to develop upwards rather than just outwards,” he said, possibly giving the appearance of a small bump.
And if you have particularly “well developed” abs, this may make your uterus “develop closer to your core rather than protruding out”.
“I have a regular period, I was spotting and lightly bleeding that whole time except for one month, and that month that I didn’t bleed I took a pregnancy test just to be sure and it came back negative.
“I’m also on birth control. It was not a planned thing, I wasn’t hoping for another kid, at least not for now.”
I felt really bad because I was drinking all that time. Her overall health worried me, but at that point there was nothing I could do
Zenia
Zenia said she felt ‘extremely’ tired the last few weeks before giving birth but put it down to working and being a mum.
The mum-of-two claims she maintained her dress size and did not gain any weight during her pregnancy apart from being bloated after eating.

PREGNANCY WARNING
Zenia is now urging women to get checked for pregnancy even if pregnancy tests come back negative.
Zenia said: “There were no signs, maybe during the last few weeks I was extremely tired, but I woke up at 6am, took care of my two-year-old, made dinner, so I thought maybe I’m just exhausted.
“I didn’t feel anything and only pushed for one minute. I needed her to get out because I was still in denial until I saw the head, I thought ‘oh my God, you guys are being serious.’
Kennedy Newsand MediaZenia has shared her story on social media to help other people[/caption]
“I didn’t gain any weight apart from the normal bloating you get when you eat. I was the same weight, I didn’t feel any different.
“If you are sexually active and miss a period, I would suggest getting a blood test because pregnancy tests can give you false negatives, blood tests are the most accurate.
“I never expected for it to happen to me. Especially after having a normal pregnancy with my first child, and I was huge with her.”

4 days agoNews TopicsComments Off on I splashed out on a £11K wedding makeover before my big day & lost 5 STONE in 12 weeks but being skinny almost killed me
A WOMAN who spent £11,000 on a wedding makeover to lose weight for her big day was left too weak to walk down the aisle.
Betty Hunt, 24, decided to have a gastric sleeve operation in November 2023, when she weighed 20st 3lbs – after putting on eight stone in eight months in 2020.

She lost five stone in just 12 weeks – but her transformation had deadly consequencesKennedy NewsAnd by the time of her wedding, she had to use a crutch to walk down the aisleKennedy News
Within just 12 weeks, Betty had lost an incredible five stone – plummeting from a size 24 to a size 8.
But she started to worry about the toll the weight loss had taken on her health when she started experiencing dizziness and couldn’t keep her food down.
By January 2024, she weighed just 8st 4lbs, and was forced to have IV treatment for dehydration after waking up one morning unable to see properly – and with legs like “jelly”.
And in February 2024 – just seven months before her wedding – Betty was diagnosed with Wernicke’s encephalopathy, a life-threatening brain condition caused by a vitamin B1 deficiency.
“I thought I might not make it to my wedding,” she sighed.
She ended up in James Cook University Hospital for four months on drips and having physio, and even considered rescheduling her wedding, but credits the “amazing” physios in hospital for helping her make it to her big day.
“One thing that my family were told is ‘if I wasn’t brought into hospital when I did go in I would have died within two weeks,” she continued.
“Whenever I was taking any tablets, drinking any water, my protein shakes, any food, I was constantly throwing up.
“My legs had gone like jelly. I was numb from my boobs down. I couldn’t feel anything.”
Betty’s family also said she was yellow because her liver, and her other organs, had started shutting down.
When it came to September and her nuptials, Betty had to use a crutch to walk down the aisle, and even had to sit down during her vows with now-husband Nathan Hunt, also 24.
Betty, from Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, said Nathan had to “hold her up” during their first dance, and she couldn’t even dance with her bridesmaids later in the evening.
“I wanted to lose weight before my wedding, that was the whole reason why I wanted it done,” she said.
“Seeing all of my bridesmaids, my friends and family up on the dance floor, I couldn’t get up with them.
“It was really sad, I didn’t have the wedding I thought I was going to. I couldn’t just enjoy the night.”
Now, Betty looks like a “different person” because of her weight loss, but it’s come at a massive price.

Betty's changing food habits
Food diary before surgery Breakfast – None Lunch – Pasta ‘n’ Sauce Tea – Takeaway such as pizza, kebab Snacks – Two packets of crisps, two snack-sized chocolate bars, ice-cream, cookies Drinks – Sugary cans of fizzy drink
Food diary after surgery Breakfast – Two protein coffee drinks Lunch – Chilli and rice, small portion Tea – Ravioli, small portion Snacks – None Betty also has additional calories through a tube
She’s now unable to work, still can’t wait unaided, has sight issues due to permanent nerve damage, and struggles to use her constantly shaking hands.
“I feel very angry because the reason why I got it done in the UK and paid a lot more money for the surgery was because I wanted to be safe and I wanted to make sure I had good aftercare,” she explained.
“Looking back on it now it’s scary because I was so oblivious that this could happen.
“I’d done so much research before actually getting the surgery done and this never came up ever.”
Even after having the surgery, the company who did it were unconcerned by her admission that she’d been vomiting, telling her instead that her weight loss was “amazing”.
“I was saying to them, ‘it’s good that I’m losing weight but I’m also not keeping anything down’,” Betty said, adding that she hasn’t heard from the company since January 2024.
“I have really shaky hands as well so pouring a kettle, writing, anything like that I can’t do and with my eyesight I can’t really see,” she said.
“I’ve got no independence.”
Betty has had to pause her physio because she’s so weak from the weight loss, and has a feeding tube to help her get extra calories into her body.
She’s hoping that when she can get back to physio, her treatment will help her gain muscle so that she can continue learning how to stand and walk independently.
