Abby
Wake, from North Hollywood, California, had no idea that she was pregnant, despite
admitting to experiencing some discomfort in her stomach, a feeling she put
down to food intolerance. However, Abby’s boyfriend, Australian Jarryd Gorman,
recently realized she might be well on her way to becoming a mom when he put
his hand on her stomach during a concert and felt a kick.
'I felt
the baby kick and I looked at her and said, "I think you're definitely
pregnant,"' Jarryd told CBS
According
to DailyMail, Abby claimed that she hadn't felt any symptoms of pregnancy - no
morning sickness or back aches - and added that she had always experienced
irregular periods.
Her
stomach had grown, but the actress assumed that she has just gained weight and
was experiencing bloating.
She
dismissed the baby's movements as bloating as well - Abby is lactose intolerant
and thought what she was feeling was just gas.
'There
weren't, like, kicks and huge movements,' she explained. 'It was just like
gurgles.'
They
decided to visit Dr. Payman Joseph, an OB-GYN specialist, it became immediately
clear that she wasn't just overdoing it with her milk intake - she actually had
a child on the way.
'[The doctor]
was just, like, "32 weeks",' Abby recalled. 'We were like, "I'm
sorry?"' At that stage, the average baby weighs about 3.75lbs and is the
size of a coconut.
Dr.
Joseph insisted that though Abby's predicament seems hard to believe, it
happens to women more often than people think.
However,
he added, 'She's very thin compared to a lot of the other women I've seen this
in.
