I recently found out I was pregnant and my friend was always telling me to watch the show I Didnt Know I was Pregnant. So the other night....late... it happened to be on so I watched it. I have never laughed so hard in my life. There was a women on there who didint want to get pregnant and thought she was in early menopause so she stopped her BC. She was 40ish... she had no symptoms until one night she started getting these horrible cramps... her husband came home from work and she was lying in bed... saying she was dying.... with all these pains... so he rushed her to the ER. In the ER she was put in a wheelchair to wait for the Dr. When a nurse came to get her she got out of the wheel chair and felt a gush of fluid... and as she lifted her leg to get on the bed she said she felt something huge fall out of her and was now in her pants up against her thigh. The nurse decided to cut the womens pants off and when she did... she looked up at the women and said "you just had a baby in your pants" LMAO. I laughed so hard.... ... its not you peed your pants... or pooped your pants... its you had a baby in your pants... I laughed so hard... I woke my hubby up... I was a little gitty!!! Ahhhh....Love the HIGHS and lows of pregnancy...
ANYWAY, how many of you have watched the show?.... and how many of you actually believe that these people really didnt know?.... some I think might not have.... some I think are full of....you know what!!! I cant imagine going 9 mo. with out thinking something!!!
I dont know I guess it could happen... My cousin has a friend who got pregnant at 16 I thought she looked like she was getting a belly but she was wearing those baby doll shirts and was on the heavier side. She broke her ankle on a trip with my aunt and cousins who had to take her to the Dr they asked if she could be pregnant she said that she didnt know. So they found out she was and she was almost 7 months. She acted shocked and swore she had no idea. Well this was 2 years ago and my cousin told me that she told her as soon as she found out at 6 weeks that she was pregnant. My cousin was the only one she told and told her not to tell anyone and she was going to hide it. She told us that she thought she was had a lot of gas when the baby was kicking and now we know the truth. I asked her why is she still telling everyone that she found out at almost 7 months. She says thats when she found out and I think she believes her own lies. My cousin showed me a note she wrote her mentioning that she is scared to tell her bf and her mom about the "baby" it was dated and she would have been 10 or so weeks...After that its hard for me to believe stuff like this. But Im not saying it cant happen in some cases just not as common as we are made to think

I also wanted to throw this out there, what if the belly is all pyschosis...if you know you are pregnant and think about it get prepared all that stuff your belly seems to be the first thing you notice...well if you "know" your not pregnant you would see a belly and it probably wouldnt stick out...just a thought. i blame this post on hormones before you start calling me crazy,
Have you ever been pregnant before? LOL.
It will stick out no matter if you are aware of the baby inside it or not. Try to suck it in when you get in the 3rd trimester...... not gonna happen .
The only time I have ever seen that show is when they're making fun of it on "The Soup"!! It seems like the weirdest show ever though!!
I am 11 weeks pregnant and right now I can not believe any one could not know thier pregnant I have had the worst morning sickness it last all day from pretty much the time I concieved the baby. lol I am sure I am a rather rare case to have to throw up so much hubby will turn over in bed and I will actually get motion sick! lol the slightest movement it sems can make me sick lol. I think it is funny becuase I will be fine one min throwing up the next and then fine again... btw crackers did not work for me ... no idea why. if I lay flat sometimes I wont get sick.
saw the show long time ago it is funny lol
I have a cousin that was medium build. She lived at home with her mother. She never missed a cycle through the entire pregnancy. Several times her mother told her "you butt is spreading, youre pregnant", and had her take tests. They were always negative. All in all she never outgrew her clothes and ended up delivering a baby still born (it was estimated to be just over 35wk gestation when it died in her). She had gone to the pcp that morning thinking she was having a stomach virus so they gave her meds for her tummy cramps (labor cramps) and went to bed. She had a really sharp pain sat up to call for her mother b/c it was getting worse and out popped her baby. I believe its really possible.
I am really overweight and for my last pregnancy I lost weight and never outgrew my normal clothes, had i not told someone "im pregnant, not JUST fat" they wouldnt have known. I knew, but it was hard for the general eye to notice.
I dont know... I can see people ignoring symptoms.... but I cant see in the long run.... the baby pops out... and your like "WHOAAAA... WHO'D A THOUGHT"... most people if they really didint think much of their symptoms... I think they would have been like "no wonder... I had this... or I did that"
I find it SOOOO... outragous that they are able to have a series on this topic... I could see one freak 20/20 on it.... you know... 5 women never knew they were expecting... here we'll show what it was like having a baby without knowing your pregnant... "what to expect...after not expecting"... with Barbra Walters.... Something like that...

I work, well worked with a girl who didnt' know she was pregnant. She was a big girl and thought she was pregnant but the doctors told her she lost the baby so she assumed she did. When she didn't have a period she didn't think anything of it because she had never been regular... Well she didn't show up at work for about a month and came in one day with a one month old baby... Shocked us all....
I think it is possible to not know you are pregnant but did anyone ever notice that a lot of the times the women are on the bigger side? I mean sometimes they show a smaller woman but most times they are bigger. I heard that when you are bigger sometimes you are irregular and it is harder for women to feel the baby... IDK whats your opinion on this?
well i am by no means on the small side and with all my kids you KNOW thats a baby kicking you , no mistaking it for gas, etc. lol. when they roll around , stick out a knee or an elbow how can you mistake that for something else? baffles me...
I watch this show all the time. I don't believe all of them but I know it can happen. A lady at my church had a baby and did not know until she went into labor. I have know her all my life, and she is a very sincere and honest woman. She is a very big lady and has been all her life. Due to medical problems that she had experienced since being a teenager she was told she would never be able to have a child. She and her husband had been married several years when she started having severe pain and he took her to the emergency room to find out that she was in labor. Their daughter is now 20 years old and never had any problems from the birth.
LMAO!!!!Thats Funny..."you didnt pee you pants" "you just had a baby in you pants"....LOLSSS!!!!
