Didnt know they were pregnant?

So i was just curious on how often this really happens... i have 2 friends that didnt know they were pregnant, 1 of them went into labor at full term and didnt know till then and another just had her baby this last week but found out 6 weeks ago that she was expecting which to most of her friends were surprise when she had pics posted on FB... so my question is does anyone have simular stories... does this happen more than people know?? oh and another friend of a friend found out a 5 months alone...

I've heard it, but I don't believe most of it. You have to either be completely OUT of it or in strong denial. Most of the women who don't know they were pregnant don't because it's "impossible" for some reason or other.

This is extremely rare to have happen and I am surprised you actually know someone who has been through it. Those that don't gain weight during pregnancy are in a dangerous situation, as it is not healthy to not gain weight during pregnancy. Also, many who say they didn't know tend to have other health problems and ignore some of the signs of pregnancy that they should have seen. I have never met anyone who has been through it.
