I just learned Im pregnant. Im 7months and terrified

Ill try to make this short.

Several doctors told me i had fertility issues and id need special treatment in order to get pregnant. Well, im 34 so i just thought it wouldn't happen for me.

Last year i started having issues with my gallbladder. I needed surgery, but had to wait because of the insurance time period and process.

I couldnt keep anything down. It was bad back in December and January. My gastroenterologist checked me and assured me I wasn't pregnant. She asked me to take a pregnancy test just be sure. It came back negative.

I assume she wanted to be sure because the treatment was going to be intense. I got better, but any thing odd happening to me I -wrongly- assume was the treatment or gallbladder getting worse.

Last week I was feeling odd and a pressure on my right side, felt my belly getting bigger a bit. Thought it was my stomach swelling or the intestines. I know.

Went to see another gastroenterologist because my regular doctor was on vacations.

Well, he ran an ultrasound and surprise, surprise. There is a whole baby moving her arm! I cried and thought the doctor was joking.

But now, I'm terrified! I took strong medication for weeks! Even months! I went to saunas and well, just started to get vitamins. Also I have anemia.

So, we'll yeah. I'm scared I hurt my baby girl. Don't know how to fix this. It breaks my heart.

We're having some tests now, doctors want to know how is the baby, so do I of course. We have our next appointment next Thursday and I can barely sleep.
