Birth and death in a Wal-MartFollow

Since we have a couple of women in here that are preggers-

Is it possible to NOT know you're pregnant, even up to birth?

I'm not a pregnant lady, but I do know a woman that was pregnant and didn't know about it until (if I remember right) she was 6 months into it.

She was a heavy set woman though. That is my guess as to why she didn't know.

I would know. I'm not usually fat.

I have a very hard time believing that a woman can not figure out shes pregnant even up until labor. The fact that the majority of women I know, can figure out theyre pregnant within three weeks due to the fact that their bodies are acting very different makes me wonder if these women are in total denial, or if they really dont pay attention to their body.

Labor pains may feel like period cramps, but multiply it by 150. Trust me, if you're all of a sudden having cramps that bad, you will call the hospital and tell them you're dying.

In the second and third trimester, your baby has grown big enough to kick your stomach hard enough you can sometimes see the shape of their foot. There's no way you can think its gas.

So no, I dont there is a high possibility that she didnt know. I think she just didnt want to believe it until it was too late.

I'm with you on the foot/mouth thing.


The female body will never cease to amaze me.

During my last pregnancy, I didn't know I was pregnant until I was 5 months along. And that was only because I started noticing a bigger belly. I had some pregnancy symptoms, but not really bad. So I assumed I had an ovarain cyst. I had had one of those before, and they can simulate the symptoms of pregnancy. Also, I had several very light periods.

From a link on that page:
Take that, Cracker Jacks!

I just puked in my mouth a little bit.

One of my cousins was exactly like that. She was about 5 1/2 months pregnant when she found out she was pregnant. She was a size 0 and with the weight gain, she went to a size 4 so she didn't think much, just that she was gaining the college weight. Some queasiness which she thought was just a stomach bug or something. Still got her periods throughout the entire pregnancy. Went to her doctor for a check up and found out then.

One of my other cousins found out she was pregnant because she and a few others were all bored one day, decided to take pregnancy tests (I have NO clue what possessed them to think to do that), and hers came out positive. They thought she did it wrong and like 6 blue tests later (and a trip to Planned Parenthood), she finally accepted that she was pregnant.

The religious right's sex education system working for you!

I know a girl back in VA that was never more than a 2, and now has a giant, bulbous preggo belly. When you ask her about it, she cries and asks why people think she's so fat as to be pregnant. Thing is, her belly button popped out AND her belly is hard and pointy. Her arms didn't get fat, nor her legs. I don't get it. I'm sure in a month or two she'll claim she didn't know, as well.

That it hurts like a bi[Aliceblue][/Aliceblue]tch and you woudlnt be sitting on a toilet in Walmart. Youd be on the floor in agony


Just sayin

I heard that the pain of passing stones is close to the same feeling of pain. But I cant compare. I've only done labor
