What A Day
Learning you’re pregnant, having a miscarriage false-alarm, and giving birth are all incredibly stressful, shocking, and exhausting experiences to go through in and of themselves… let alone when they all occur within the same 24 hours. But that’s exactly what happened to 26-year-old Amanda Francis.
After taking not one but six negative pregnancy tests, Francis assumed she wasn’t pregnant. The active woman kept up with her fit lifestyle, doing all sorts of activities like rock-climbing throughout her pregnancy. It was only during a routine checkup that she discovered she was pregnant; according to the doctor, she was two months along.
Shortly after, she started to experience painful stomach cramps. At the hospital, while believing the cramps were her having a miscarriage, the doctor informed her that she wasn’t having a miscarriage. In fact, rather than two months along, she was actually eight months pregnant. And as if that wasn’t enough, the cramps Francis was experiencing actually weren’t cramps but contractions, and Francis was going into labor.
That same day, Francis gave birth to a healthy 4-pound boy who she named Kellin.
