Having a baby when you didn't know you are pregnant
These stories always amaze me how can you not know?

After all we have just celebrated the only real virgin birth.

I avoid them like the plague.
When I said they didn't have a clue I meant it was because their bodies didn't conform to what some might deem to be normal.
Not everyone is lucky enough to be given the signs they need to know they're pregnant. Everyone is different.
I bet half or more women out there don't realise they've miscarried ie a heavy period isn't always just a heavy period.
My sister had a friend (married and in her late twenties) who gave birth and hadn't known right up until her husband rushed her to the hospital when she was in labour. She was a very big girl and thought she had eaten something untoward or that she was having an apendicitis attack or something. They had been trying for many many years to have a child and had been told they would never be able to. Personally, I think by that stage you'd have sussed out something strange was happening in there, but who am I to judge?
"is thoughtful as eyes Stan up and down"
Erm .... "wonders how to break it to S&M about the difference between ladies and men"
I think there is a TV show with a similar title to this thread. Some girls (teenagers mostly) were too scared to accept they were going to have a baby. Others had medical conditions that hid their pregnancy .
But apart from those things I definitely did not FEEL pregnant in any way - at 9 months pregnant I found myself running down the village to post a parcel (it was December) and thought - maybe I shouldn't be doing this. I could still sleep on my front. With both my babies they went quite far down into my pelvis and they couldn't measure how big they were accurately, and i felt fine and dandy.
I can quite see how someone who doesn't think it has been posible to get pregnant could be pregnant without realising it, especially if they were bit chubby. Mine showed at about 8 and a half months with my first. And i only weighed 8 and a half stone at 9 months pregnant, and I'm five foot 8.
Is this a modern technical term?
He sounds a right silly-willy-Docty.

Why? Weren't you actually pregnant?
Someone ought to tell him the gas and air is for the mother, not the doctor.
Oh.
Not a Ladybird fan, then . . .
He specialised in OAPs, something I didn't know as my mum came to live with me when she was dying, she was only there for a day as the second night something went wrong and she had to go to hospital, but he was the Dr who attended in the first instance. He was fabulous with her.
But not for me, I'm afraid.
There are still people out there who feel safer being patronised by their Dr.
Try a stocking on your head.
It could be worse.
No, actually, it couldn't.
Somebody talking about me?
I've never even posed as a doctor, let alone been one.
