post<\/a>,\u00a0Timpf described what she called an \u201cunconventional birth announcement.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cLast week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.\u00a0Now, before you worry, my doctor says it\u2019s Stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn\u2019t spread. Or, as I\u2019ve explained to the few people I\u2019ve managed to tell about it so far: Don\u2019t freak out. It\u2019s just, like, a LITTLE bit of cancer,\u201d Timpf began.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill, it was not a chill day. I mean, to say the least! I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out. By the middle of the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out. I sat and listened as they told me that the best course of action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible. I asked all the questions I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to the ultrasound of my baby. Finally, by the middle of the night, I was crawling around on the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor, before heading to the hospital to meet my baby, whom I\u2019d learn at the time of birth was a son,\u201d Timpf added.<\/p>\n
