Woman's 'tumor' revealed as surprise 29-week baby bump
29 Jan
Summary
- A woman thought she had a tumor but was actually 29 weeks pregnant.
- She previously experienced five miscarriages and had a punctured uterus.
- Her baby boy is estimated to weigh 2lbs 13 ounces and is doing well.
Krista Sciscoe, 33, underwent an ultrasound appointment in late January 2026, anticipating a diagnosis of a polyp, cyst, fibroid, or tumor due to persistent bleeding and back pain. She had a history of five miscarriages, with the last one in 2023 resulting in a punctured uterus.
During the ultrasound, Sciscoe was told the technician had something to tell her, immediately assuming the worst. However, the technician revealed a heartbeat, showing Sciscoe the top of her baby's head. She was not experiencing a tumor but was 29 weeks and five days pregnant.
Despite the shock and concerns about consuming substances and taking birth control unknowingly, her baby boy is healthy and weighs an estimated 2lbs 13 ounces. The anterior placenta contributed to her bump not being prominent.
Sciscoe and her husband, who had lost hope after years of trying and multiple miscarriages, are overjoyed. She has been sharing her journey on TikTok, gaining support and donations from followers.
