Yesterday we announced the birth of one of Mums advice admins giving birth to her miracle baby, and the fact she didn’t have a clue she was pregnant.

Many of you have spoken with our admin who signs her name xsusanx and she would like to share with you her true life christmas miracle.

Susan and her partner Paul have been together for nearly 17 years, they had two children together Lucy Ann aged 15 and Liam aged 2 1/2.

The last year has been no different to any other, the couple were busy working and being parents to their two children and preparing for christmas and Susan spent a lot of time on mums advice helping us to run our successful Facebook page.

Yesterday at around 1pm Susan began experience abdomen cramps and was in a lot of pain,Susan tried taking pain killers and laying down but nothing helped and at 2pm Susan couldn’t take it anymore and asked Paul to take her to her local hospital.

Susan explained her pains to the doctor and she was placed onto a monitor and was told the shocking news that she was in labour.

Susan and Paul looked at each other in disbelief but didn’t have much time to think about it as Susan was in active labour, At 2;34pm the shocked couple welcomed to the world a healthy baby girl.

Susan told us that for the past 8 months she has gained a small amount of weight but put that down to going on to the contraception pill, she has had no heartburn or cravings, continued to have a period every month which was slightly lighter than normal but again put this down to the pill.

Susan also shared another shocking revelation her and partner Paul last had sex in April.

Susans eldest daughter Lucy Ann has been to the hospital to visit her new baby sister,  she is very proud of her mum and amazed  to have a new baby sister, Liam has yet to meet Taylor Rose but has kissed a photo of the new addition.

Susan and Taylor Rose currently remain in the hospital under observation but they are hoping to be allowed home tomorrow, Susan has been visited by the mental health team to check she is okay and happy to have a new child, although Susan feels it’s all unreal she is absolutely over the moon to have a wonderful newborn.

 

Susan said she has been blown over  with the wonderful offers of support from family, friends and strangers rallying around and buying all the essentials for the new arrival, Mums advice admin had a whip round and also sent some money to help towards getting Taylor Rose some little bits.

Susan has experienced some negativity though with people stating that she must have known or she deliberately kept it a secret, or the best one yet that as she is admin of a mum group surely she would have known.

As Susan says had she known she would have had more time to prepare for the baby and also Liam her very young son would be more aware of what was happening. 

Susan and Paul luckily are very happy to have a new baby and Susan says she has no regrets as she doesn’t smoke or drink but wishes she had a bit more notice.

We all wish the family a very merry Christmas its one to remember and I’m sure will be brought up every Christmas for the rest of Taylor Rose’s life.
