Hilarious Birth Announcement Proves Life Can Be Full of Surprises

When life throws you a curveball, sometimes the best response is to just laugh it off. That’s exactly what one mom did when her baby and her not-so-reliable IUD made their grand entrance into the world at the same time.

Meet Sarah Thompson

Sarah Thompson, an Alabama resident, thought she had pregnancy prevention all figured out with her Mirena IUD, which boasts a 99% effectiveness rate. But as we all know, life can be unpredictable. Just four months after her Mirena was placed, Sarah discovered she was expecting.

“This was my third Mirena,” she explained. “The first two worked like a charm, so you can imagine my shock when I found out I was pregnant in December. I thought I was only a few weeks along, but the ultrasound revealed I was already 18 weeks! My IUD was MIA on the scan, and my doctor thought it had fallen out, but I had my doubts.”

Turns out, the sneaky IUD had just relocated higher in Sarah’s uterus, cozying up behind the placenta. When her son, Max, was delivered via C-section, the doctor retrieved the wandering Mirena. For her announcement, Sarah cleverly posed Max with the IUD in his tiny hand, tagging the photo with “#mirenafail.”

Embracing the Unexpected

Despite the unexpected arrival, Sarah and her partner, who already have children together, embraced Max with open arms. “Max was definitely meant to be,” she shared. “His due date was May 4th, and even the doctor joked, ‘The force was strong with this one.’” She added, “Even though he wasn’t in the plans, we feel so lucky to have him.”

Taking Permanent Measures

In response to this unplanned adventure, Sarah decided to take more permanent measures to “close up shop,” as she puts it. After Max’s birth, she had one of her Fallopian tubes removed, making sure she wouldn’t find herself in the Mirena 1% club again.
