I didn't know I was Pregnant, is it possible?

[Keyan]

Is this really possible? I mean for those of you are or have been pregnant, is it really possible to not know you were pregnant until you actually went in to labor? what about baby movements? I have watched that show and some stories are really hard to beleive...what do you think? I am curious.

There needs to be a spin-off from that show. Maybe call it "I did not realize how many people are clueless." Come on now - you can have a poppy seed in your tooth and it will drive you crazy until you get some dental floss. But a 5,7 or 9 pound baby gave you no discomfort? Check their debit cards I bet there are some HPT test expenses on there. LOL.

Grrr, the unfairness of the whole situation makes me mad and saddens me a little when I think of all the hoops we all have to jump through just to even TRY to get pregnant.

Oh well, no one ever said that life is fair!

I know! These people smoke and drink and party and get no prenatal care and their kids are fine! And I saw the twins in the tub one!! WTH?

LOL - my coworker was telling me that she saw an episode where the woman delivered decent sized TWINS in her bathtub.... COME ON NOW!    

I think from time to time they should show people the consequences of not having your pregnancy monitored by a doctor.  You never see babies on this show with developmental problems.  The stories always have a happy ending.  I worry that showing people that ignoring a pregnancy is ok and that things always turn out ok in the end is really doing a huge disservice to young women and to these babies.

I have to admit that I have it record on my DVR and I just sit in shock the whole time? I can understand the "no weight gain" (well, I can't - remeber I gained 70 freaking pounds) but it could happen, i guess. But you would still have some sort of baby belly - that thing in your belly isn't small. And all of the babies are good sized babies - you RARELY hear of a preemie being born on that show. I seriously think these women don't realize you can get pregnant from having sex! "I don't know how this happened?" WHAT? YOU HAD SEX STUPID!! That is how it happened...jeesh. This makes sex education even more NEEDED! We had a student that knew she was pregnant but didn't tell her folks until her 8.5 month! She is really tall and kinda big (but it fit her statue) and no one else knew BUT she KNEW how to hide it. We all flipped out when we found out! BUT BY GOD - she KNEW!!

I cant believe that I waste any of my time watching that show, but I do!  It is ridiculous.  I think that those women are most of the time in huge DENIAL.  either that or REALLY stupid.

I have a 19 year old petite cousin who claimed that she didnt know that she was pregnant up till she was 8 months.  I think that was "B.S.".  We all figured she was pregnant but did not want to confront her because of family issues.  She waddled around smoking and drinking diet coke all day long.  She is very lucky that her little guy came out ok.

DH and I watch that show and laugh.  It is so funny that these dummies dont even realize that they are pregnant when there are so many of us who would give our right arms just to have a baby!  Oh... the injustice... sigh..... LOL - I dont have plans tonight - maybe I Didnt know i was Pregnant will be on!!  I need some mindless drivel to get my thoughts off TTC.
