Did you already think you were pregnant or is this a shock to you? Yes you and your baby could be in danger. They say that if you dont start prenatal care early in pregnancy then you can have a very hard labor.

There are chances that you may be ok, as long as you ate healthy and everything but you need to go to a doctor now to be sure! My sister was lucky because she didnt know til 8 months and my neice (now 7) is perfect! Be careful and good luck!

:d it is okay it seems like a day is a week and a week is a month and a month is a year but everytime you get an ultrasound or hear the babys heartbeat it seems to go by faster so instead of thinking about the months look forward to your doctor visits

Well to be honest. I have no idea!!! She was 18 and I remember my mom kept on asking her if she was pregnant and she would say no! Stop asking me! And then my mom saw she was getting a little chunky (she was a size 6) so then andrea (my sister) decided to have a cousin take her to the doctor to go get a test and sure enough it was positive. Then like overnight she got this huge belly! I knew we couldnt be in denial before though because there were 6 of us with her 24-7 and never knew or noticed. Plus she spotted now and then and thought it was a period. But its true-she didnt know. I think she only went to the doctor because she felt movement in her stomach! Lol but luckily she had a very, healthy, smart and cute little girl kristen.

My step grandmother's granddaughter went to the er with abdominal pain and ended up delivering a baby there. She had no idea she was ever pregnant, I don;t know how. But some people don't get all the symptoms like others do. Strange.
I don't think your baby will be damaged if you didn't take the vitamins. Think about it years ago, no one took the vitamins and babies were born fine.

when my mom was pregnant with me, nobody knew she was even pregnant until she went to the hospital. She did not show at all. Even her sister, who lived approx. 2 blocks away from her did not know.
So, I guess what I am trying to say is that not all people develop a huge belly.

For right now, I would suggest you go to walmart and get some prenatal vitamins, they will be like $5.98. Then try making a doctors appointment. It will be okay...Just relax...Feel free to email me if you need further help.

I found out I was pregnant at 3 months and I didnt start taking vitamins till I was 5 months, thats when I finally told my mother. Please go to the doctors already and get a ultrasound & checkup to see if your baby is ok!

Wow I can't beleive how many people didn't know they were preggy being that far along. I am sure your baby will be fine as long as you haven't been drinking and doing other things like that. I am sure that if you get to the dr asap they will find your baby is not in harms way. Start taking those prenatals asap!! Best of luck!!

my reason is that I have an irregular period, it comes when it's least expected and I skipped months a couple of times, so I thought this was all normal, until I started getting morning sickness. I mean @ 3 months my stomach was as flat as a wall.

Erica,
i was a tiny baby.....4 pounds, 9 ounces, 16 inches long. I was not premature. I was on time. My mom went into the hospital on december 24 and the doctors were concerned that because of me being so small I was premature. They tried to get the labor to stop. I was born 3 days later on the 27th and spent 3 weeks in an incubator.

I wouldnt worry too much about the vitiamins and things,
i took nothing in my pregnancy and I found out at 6 weeks...I ate alot of mcdonalds and every appointment I went to with my doc he said I had great controlled weight gain he thought I was eating healthy food all the time...I had a 3 hour labour for my first and very easy recovery...So everyone is different good luck
