For first-time moms, every change and symptom of pregnancy is new and surprising, however, after giving birth to a few kids, everything becomes pretty routine and expected.
After giving birth to nine kids, Linda Reeves knows exactly what her body is like during pregnancy, which is why she knew she was pregnant for a tenth time when she started feeling all the usual signs like back pain, sickness, and exhaustion. “I’ve had nine children and I know what it’s like to feel a baby inside me,” Linda said.
The 50-year-old mother went to her doctor to confirm she was expecting, however, when they started the ultrasound, they found nothing in her womb. “I’ve had all the symptoms of pregnancy – sickness, backache, and tiredness. I am absolutely certain that there is a baby there, but it is growing in the wrong place,” said Linda, who now think she is having an abdominal pregnancy, which is where the baby grows outside the womb. “Nobody will take me seriously,” She added.
“I keep going to my GP and he’s agreed to a few times to send me for a pregnancy scan. But they only scan my womb – so how can they find my baby if it’s growing in my abdomen?”
Linda claims she has been pregnant for 15 months, however, doctors told her it was just from overeating. “He said I was just too fat. I was furious,” Linda said. “I may not be the slimmest person in the world but I’ve actually lost weight because I’ve been so stressed since all this started in May last year.”
“[Doctors] even suggested I have a mental health problem and it’s a phantom pregnancy. They gave me anti-depressants but I threw the prescription in the bin,” said Linda, who is now begging doctors to give her a full CT scan to see what’s inside of her. “If by some chance I am wrong, then I want to know exactly what is happening inside me. What if it’s cancer? I have a right to be treated seriously.”
