'I didn't know l was pregnant' -really?

quintwins

My body doesn't cope well with being pregnant from hospitalising sickness to being unable to walk, and the worst migraines i've ever experienced, all of which is the main reason we won't be having anymore so no i'd always no, but i got married at 22 weeks with twins and you can't tell from my pictures yet i was very thin i didn't really start showing until 25 weeks at which point i ballooned so i guess it could be possible.

My cousin was rushed to hospital 2 August's ago with stomach pains 2 hours later she had a baby girl Anna-Marie.

We all had to rush out and beg, borrow and buy a full nursery as her & her husband had nothing. Lucky she had her at 10am on a Sunday lol.

She was a size 10-12 at the time normal periods ect and didn't have a clue.

Pigpen are you preggers again?:eek::eek: what number is this one?

I went on holiday with my best mate - drinking, drinking and more drinking - and remember vividly throwing up at the airport on the way home. I was so ill and was off work for a couple of days after, thought it was a combination of all the drink, lack of sleep, period pains and dodgy food I'd eaten. Went to the doctors, did some pregnancy tests and came up positive - I was like this :eek::eek::eek:

They dated me at about 6/7 weeks, went for a scan and I was actually almost 16 weeks. I had periods up until being 5 months pregnant.

Meant to add I'm 6 months pregnant with my second. I was starting to worry as I couldn't feel movements like I did with ds. Turns out I have an anterior placenta. Now I can only feel bubs if I'm lying down and concentrating, I can now see how people can miss movements.

My cousin gave birth to a health 6lb baby boy in the loo on a Saturday night, she'd missed one period and had a doctors appointment on the following Monday for a pregnancy test.

She isn't even remotely big, did everything you shouldn't do when pregnant, we were in fact in Alton towers on the Thursday before she gave birth.

She was 7 months gone with her second before she found out too.

I knew from 6 weeks with my son but a girl where I used to work only found out at 7 months. I was talking to her the day before she found out and she was slim, probably a 10-12 and a few days after she'd found I saw her and she'd suddenly popped. It was amazing.

Almost 20 months after having my son I still have phantom kicks every now and again.

I have a friend who went to hospital with really bad back pain and delivered her premature baby girl. She was a size 10/12 and had no idea. She was taking panadol all night and her room mate suggested it might be more than just back pain, took her to hospital and hey presto! Two years later she found out at 5 months she was pregnant again.

Perhaps it really is a physiological thing. Not necessarily that some women have symptomless pregnancies, although that might play a part. Rather that some women simply aren't really aware of how their bodies feel.

Even with a small baby, you're still going to put on at least a stone because of the increased womb size, amniotic fluid, increased blood volume etc. Plus that weight's concentrated in one area. To not be aware of that suggests that you're very relaxed about how your body usually feels and don't spend your time monitoring your physical condition.
