夫妇寻求意外出生后的建议，不出所料，红迪网站出来拯救这一天

从2009年到2011年，《我不知道我怀孕了》节目在《发现生活》和《薄层色谱》上连续播出了两年ICYMI，每集都有两个或两个以上直到临产才知道自己怀孕的女性。

不知道自己怀了一个孩子可能看起来不可思议，但它确实发生了，尽管很少。研究显示，大约2500人中有一人直到分娩才知道自己没有怀孕。

最近，一对夫妇成为2500人中的"一对",这位惊讶的新爸爸来到Reddit分享这一消息，并寻求一些建议。

"So, the craziest thing happened today," wrote u/RubyOnRailsOP in the Parenting subreddit.

Readers would soon learn that may be the understatement of the year.

"My wife and I suddenly became parents to a baby boy," he continued. "We had no idea my wife was expecting, and I drove her to the ER for some cramps to find out she is in labor."

The good news: Though the baby was born prematurely at 31 weeks, the unexpecting father says mom and baby are both doing well. He's excited to see his new baby, who is currently in NICU, tomorrow, but he's understandably stunned and overwhelmed.

"We weren't planning on having any kids, so we are both grossly under-prepared," he wrote. "Any advice or encouragement would be [greatly] appreciated."

In less than a day, nearly 450 Redditors have poured in with advice for the new parents.

Some of it was practical.

"Diapers, wipes, a crib, a car seat, onesies, zipper pajamas, swaddle blanket, bottles, formula (if necessary), pacifiers, a baby tub, and baby soap [are] pretty much all you need for a few months. Then, you buy as you need. A stroller, bouncy chair, high chair, [and] baby swing might be on your wish list," one person wrote.

"Only buy what you absolutely need. I know the wipe warmer sounds amazing, but it's an expense you don't need. My daughter stayed in a pack and play for the first four months of her life. I didn't buy a high chair until she was ready to eat solids," said another.

And others offered insights into less tangible aspects of parenting.

"My only advice is to take all advice with a grain of salt. When it comes to having a newborn, everyone you meet has advice (even if you don't ask for it). When in doubt, trust your instincts," wrote another.

"Make sure to take care of your wife. Her hormones will be all over the place, and she might cry a lot. Make sure she gets metal healthcare if she ever needs it (PPD is pretty common)," advised another.

Unfortunately, people who give birth unexpectedly may be more likely to experience postpartum depression or other forms of distress. Additionally, cryptic pregnancies can lead to complications, including higher risks for prematurity and death.

About 1 in 475 pregnancies qualify as cryptic, or stealth, pregnancies, meaning a pregnancy isn't detected until 20 weeks. So, how could these pregnancies go undetected until the mid-way point or even until a person goes into labor?

Experts say that a few common reasons include lack of pregnancy symptoms and false negatives on pregnancy tests. Some people have irregular menstrual cycles for various reasons, including amenorrhea from participating in intense sports or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). These individuals may not think twice if they skip several cycles. Other times, a person may be in denial and experiencing a mental health issue.

Experts share that it's essential to seek medical care if you're experiencing pregnancy symptoms, even if you don't see those two lines appear on an at-home test. Doctors can order bloodwork and ultrasounds to be sure.
