I'm watching a TV show about women who go through entire pregnancies without knowing they were pregnant. This woman on the show claimed she had a stomach ache, and when she looked down she saw she was giving birth.

What do you guys think? Do you think a woman can go through an entire pregnancy and never no?

HUGS

yes, I've seen those shows too on Discovery/Health. They all claim it has happened, but its never happened to me.
I kinda have a problem with that tho, cause how can yu honestly go around with all that movement in yur tummy and not know something is not there?

all i know is, when my wife was pregnant she KNEW!!! and I knew too, every waking moment (and some horrific nightmares too) she would make sure i knew and never forgot, *shudders* did it just get cold in here? :}

This show always has a happy ending...These woman are not getting any prenatal care!

I have heard of this several times throughout my many years. I believe it is entirely possible.

I've heard of this happening before, but WTF?!?!

deleted_user 10/21/2009

I have heard of this many times. I have given birth to 3 children. With each one the pregnancy was different.....but I KNEW.lol. Those women are lucky. I just dont know how they could not feel the baby moving and if they did....how did they explain it away to anything else?

Perhaps a big dose of denial?

deleted_user 10/21/2009

Yes, definitely.. I worked as an ER nurse for many years, and have actually seen some cases first hand.. It is hard to imagine, but it can and does happen...

yes, my best friend is an EMT and saw it for herself
