This Woman Suddenly Went Into Labor. Doctors Were Shocked When They Saw What Was in Her Stomach

“When Chrissy went into labor for the fourth time, she thought it would be business as usual. Little did she know a big shock was awaiting her and the doctors when they’d find out what was in her stomach.

Chrissy lived with her husband Larry in Florida. Theirs was a happy home built on love, sacrifice, and patience. With three children already in the house, their home was filled with lots of activities, laughter, and baby cries. The family would go out almost every weekend, holding hands in public and laughing about everything and anything. They shared an incredible bond and inspired many people.

When Chrissy fell pregnant again for the fourth time, the couple was over the moon. The other kids couldn’t wait to meet the unborn baby. They would do everything older siblings do for their younger ones to make them feel loved. At this point, no one could have guessed this pregnancy would turn their little world upside down.

Chrissy’s pregnancy began just like any other. She registered for antenatal care at her local hospital, Orange Park Medical Center in Florida. She went for checkups and did light exercises to remain fit and healthy for the baby. Larry was not left out either; he did his best to be there for his wife and unborn child while still turning up at his work.

Everything seemed to go well at first, but by the end of the first trimester, it started to dawn on Chrissy and her husband that this pregnancy was unusual. Firstly, Chrissy had no symptoms of pregnancy; she had no morning sickness, neither did she feel nauseous or have unusual cravings like with the previous pregnancies. However, one thing that stood out was Chrissy’s bump, and if not for that, no one would believe she was pregnant.

By the beginning of the second trimester, Chrissy’s bump had magically, so it seemed, doubled in size. At first, Chrissy and her husband thought nothing of it, but when the bump kept increasing in size, they became very worried. Perhaps something was wrong with the baby or Chrissy. The couple decided to seek a medical opinion on the issue, so they visited the hospital.

Once there, the doctor performed a scan and an ultrasound, and much to the couple’s relief, he told them the baby was in good health. Larry also asked the doctor if he was sure that Chrissy wasn’t pregnant with multiple babies, which could explain the big bump, but the doctor told them the scan would have shown it. He assured them that nothing would go wrong and sent them on their way.

However, he could only allay their fears for a couple of weeks because soon Chrissy’s stomach started to increase again, this time at an even faster and alarming rate. Soon, it became difficult for Chrissy to move around or do things she would normally do with ease. If the doctors were right that Chrissy was pregnant with just one baby, then what could be making her stomach so huge?

To make matters worse, Chrissy suddenly fell sick, and the doctors discovered she was anemic and began to administer proper treatments. Still, through the uncertainty and doubts, the couple kept hope alive, and Chrissy kept religiously to her antenatals. She was also advised to have her baby via C-section, and in the eighth month of her pregnancy, she was given a due date and scheduled for surgery.

But nothing would go as planned. As the due date drew near, Chrissy became apprehensive while taking her antenatals even more seriously. She prayed for a smooth and safe delivery each day, scared that the hospital would suddenly call and say they found something wrong with her baby.

Larry continued to offer his support to Chrissy, getting everything the baby would need upon arrival – diapers, clothes, and lots more. If only he knew how things would eventually turn out, then he wouldn’t have bought all these things because the baby wasn’t going to use them, not even a single diaper.

As the due date approached, Chrissy practiced positive thinking each morning, telling herself that everything would be fine. Doing this made her much happier, and she was now mentally and physically ready for delivery. Her plan was to go to the hospital very early on the scheduled day of her operation.

But nature played a fast one on her. Just a week before her scheduled C-section, Chrissy’s water suddenly broke, and she went into labor. One of the kids immediately called for an ambulance, and they arrived within a few minutes, rushing Chrissy to the hospital, where she was immediately taken into the operating room.

Larry was at the office when he got the call from his son that Chrissy was in labor. He left everything he was doing, got into his car, and drove like a bat out of hell. When Larry got to the hospital, he met his eldest child there, looking pretty scared and confused. When he asked him how it all happened and how Chrissy was doing, the teenager couldn’t give a coherent answer.

Just in time, a doctor came out of the theater, and the look on his face told Larry that something was seriously wrong. ‘How is she? How’s Chrissy?’ Larry, filled with fear and worry, asked the doctor. The doctor then explained that the surgery was ongoing, but Chrissy’s iron levels were low, and she needed to have a blood transfusion. Larry gave his consent right away.

In the delivery room, a team of 10 doctors surrounded Chrissy as the head surgeon performed the surgery. The others scurried around to offer help and monitor Chrissy’s vitals. Finally, it got to the moment when they would pull the baby out of the womb. But nothing could have prepared them for what they were about to see.

As soon as the doctor began to lift the baby out, his eyes popped open, and his jaw dropped. The other doctors couldn’t even believe what they were seeing. They were all so shocked. ‘Oh my God, is this real?’ one of the doctors muttered. As for the head surgeon, all he could say was, ‘Oh my God, is this baby ever going to end?’

Finally, the baby was all out, and the medical assistants just froze. ‘This is impossible,’ one of them said. ‘Oh my gosh, that’s one hell of a huge baby,’ another whispered in shock. But the proof was right there in front of them. There was no denying it.

While the average baby weighs around 3.5 kilograms or 7.7 pounds, Chrissy’s baby weighed 6 kilograms or 13 pounds and 5 ounces. The baby looked like she was six months old. ‘Wow, isn’t this just incredible?’ The medical team rounded up the surgery and stitched Chrissy up. When she woke up, they placed her baby in her arms, and she couldn’t contain her shock.

‘My God,’ she gasped as she looked at her daughter’s face with love-filled eyes. ‘Is this a toddler you pulled out of my tummy?’ she joked. Chrissy already had a thing with birthing big babies; her first three children had been around nine to ten pounds, but this time she went above and beyond, shocking everyone in the hospital that day.

Unfortunately, none of the clothes and diapers Larry had bought could fit the newborn named Carly, and they quickly had to get new ones. The clothes that could fit her were for nine-month-old babies. They even contacted Huggies and Pampers to make customized diapers specially for Carly.

When asked if she would have more children, Chrissy replied, ‘That’s enough for me; we definitely went out with a bang.’ It’s so beautiful to see that this pregnancy, which had caused the family so many sleepless nights, turned out to be a thing of joy. Many people loved baby Carly, and they expressed this through their kind acts, gifts, and donations.

With the arrival of Carly, the bond between the family grew even stronger. I wish this family all their heart desires. What do you think about baby Carly? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Thank you for watching, and see you next time.”
