Amanda Prentice of Tennessee gave birth last week to what she and her husband are calling a "miracle baby" and with good reason! They didn't know she was pregnant until after she had life threatening seizures.

Amanda and her husband Billy tried to get pregnant for years but were unsuccessful. So one can only imagine the shock and excitement last month when doctors informed them that she was pregnant! But no sooner did the couple get the news, she went on to have her daughter, Allie five hours later.

Allie's birthday story started on April 23, 2012 when Amanda began having mysterious seizures. Her husband rushed her to the hospital in Lawrenceburg, TN where doctors felt her life was in danger.

She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Hospital, but they were not prepared for the diagnosis "complications from pregnancy." The couple was shocked. How could that diagnosis be accurate when she was not even pregnant?

Amanda told News 9 in Tennessee, "The doctor came in and said, 'I've got good news and bad news. He said, 'your blood pressure has skyrocketed here in the last few days, but you've got a baby.'" :huh:

Weighing in at five pounds and five ounces, Allie was born healthy. "I never felt her move," Amanda said. "I wore the same clothes that I had worn for two years."

Husband Billy said, "The only signs she had was her feet and ankles had swollen up, and that was it."

The happy family is now receiving congratulatory cards from across the county. "We had been trying for four years and didn't think this was gonna happen," Amanda said. "We had talked about adopting, and now we've got our miracle baby," Bill said.

asymptomatic pregnancy, which does happen to most women. You show no signs, symptoms or physical changes until you actually start going into labor.

She didn't noticed she missed her period for 9 times in a row!??!

Menstruation can still occur during pregnancy, it's just very rare. I've also heard of a few rare cases where women going through what they believed to be menopausal changes have actually been pregnant. It's not as black and white as you'd imagine.

Baby was little to. Remember that.

True, I've gained 5lbs before and it wasn't noticeable enough for me to be alarmed into thinking I was pregnant. And I'm not even a big person, rather petite. A 5lb baby could just look like some extra pudge round the middle really.

I'm just glad they wanted the kid and it was a happy ending. If this happened to me, I'd be completely devastated, having a kid would be bad enough, but not even having the time to prepare for it? omg.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
