Australian Woman Says She Partied Through Half Her Pregnancy Without Knowing She Was Pregnant

An Australian social media personality claimed that she had been unaware of her pregnancy for its first five months. Miss Moore believed that there were other explanations for the lack of periods, tiredness, and nausea.

Alex Paige Moore, a former dental nurse and creator of social media content, claims that she had no reason to suspect her pregnancy at 21 years old. She suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome; therefore, the absence of periods could not be considered abnormal since sometimes she has one or two periods a year.

Moreover, other symptoms had other explanations. Heartburn coincided with her intake of pre-workout supplements. A night of vomiting had taken place after she stayed out until 3 a.m., so she thought it was just a heavy night instead of morning sickness. Fainting and fatigue made her suspect that she may be developing an eating disorder.

Moore’s mother persuaded her to visit a doctor. The girl had some blood tests but did not receive the results for a month, despite her mother’s persuasion. The staff told her everything was fine and said that she was pregnant. In the end, she bluntly asked, “What? I’m pregnant?”

The ultrasound revealed that Moore was about five months pregnant, which was later than she expected. This was possible because the baby’s position was posterior, meaning its spine was pressed against hers, and she had an anterior placenta that blocked all movement of the baby. The noticeable belly became apparent about a week or two later.

This was a difficult period for Moore. She lived at home and had an unhealthy relationship; therefore, she and her partner initially believed that the termination of the pregnancy was the right solution when they found out about the age of the pregnancy. During the whole pregnancy, she worried about the health of the child after she had consumed alcohol during the undetected pregnancy. She claims that she was nervous the whole time, but her daughter was born healthy.

After the child’s birth, Moore’s relationship with the baby’s father ended. The first thing that the young woman did was to get breast implants, which she calls an investment, but not a vain thing: “I figured these wouldn’t make money as saggy little things.”

Moore had financial difficulties during that period, earning about $30,000 per year as a dental nurse and unable to afford a house. Besides, she paid for the formula and got free housing from her mother. Therefore, she thought, “There’s no way I’m ever going to buy a house or move out.” She even spoke about creating an OnlyFans account while still having relations with her partner, whom she called “disgusting.”

Moore created the page with the assistance of her friend. Her initial income was about $800 to $2,000 a week, which grew to about $100,000 a month in a few months. Moreover, Moore says, “I was not going back to being a dental nurse.”

Moore is currently paying about $12,000 a year in child support to her ex-partner, who keeps criticizing her. He still finds digs at Moore, calling her disgusting, but he is glad to receive money.

Moore is thankful that her daughter’s pregnancy was discovered in time. “Being a mum has been the most incredible experience of my life,” she claims. “I truly can’t imagine my life without my girl.”
