'I didn't know I was pregnant!'
My periods have always been irregular, but it's never bothered me and I didn't think anything of it when my period was due but didn't come.
Then I missed another one, so I decided to do a pregnancy test, just in case. It was positive and I was so thrilled as we'd been trying for some time. The thing is, I didn't know when I'd conceived!
When I went to my first scan, I'd figured that I must have been around 9 or 13 weeks, but the scan showed that I was actually 11 weeks. From the scan I was given a due date, but my bump was always very small so I was sure that my baby wouldn't be due for at least another two weeks.
Mia arrived three days early - I think! Either way she's healthy and gorgeous and that's all that matters.
