Not Knowing you're Pregnant?

God threads like this make me want to POAS every month just to make sure I'm not pregnant :rotfl:

I have a friend who found out when she was 32 weeks. Was told she couldn't have children, then one day it just happened.

I wasn't so lucky, I was like a baby elephant with both of mine, especially the dd who was breech. Used to walk around with my coffee on my bump.

But it is really interesting these strange anomalies in pregnancy, when i had my dd we arrived on the labour ward to hear a man screaming. Turned out they had a shared pregnancy and he got all the pain

I could understand if she was really overweight but being fit and slim ( I assume if you are in the army) thats really surprising.

My mum didn't have any pain during labour apart from 'slight back ache'. She said she was really annoyed she has wasted her time going to classes and practicing her breathing.

I did read an article by a doctor a few years ago and he said that hidden pregnancies can happen if a woman is super fit and has strong abs.

A friend of mine had no idea....went to the docs with belly ache and came out with a chubby baby!

This happened to my sister she didnt find out till 2 weeks before the birth!! she is a large lady so a bump would be well hidden. She thought she had wind etc when I asked about the baby kicking lol. She kept on drinking and playing rugby as she had no idea! Baby was fine

A girl who worked for my mum had a hiddden pregnancy. She went to the doctor with an odd feeling in her stomach. He told her she was six months pregnant.

The girl in question was a very slim young woman (late teens), hadn't missed a period, felt sick, or put on weight. Finding out she was pregnant, especially so far along, was a shock to her. Her daughter is now about 18 years old

There's a hilarious reality show called 'I didn't know I was pregnant' but with a twist. These women had every single possible sign of pregnancy but were still shocked. My favourite was a woman who gave birth on her 'terlett'. She was a right treat!
