"I woke up the morning of Sept. 14, his birthday, with lower abdomen pain," said Littlefield. "I knew something was really wrong so I called my mom and said 'Hey, I think I need to go to the hospital something's happening.' We have a family history of ovarian cysts rupturing after birth."
Amy was sure that was the cause of the pain so she went to the walk-in ER at Swedish Medical Center. That's when the staff informed her she was five months pregnant.
