Forgot about this one...

So this morning, most mornings, I sat down to drink my coffee and catch some of today's headlines via a cable news outlet.  Well, I was jolted out of my sleepy state not by the wonderful Columbian brew, but by the 911 tape of a man who was delivering a baby when his wife was "unaware" she was pregnant.

REALLY?!

You didn't know when you missed your monthly gift 9 months in a row, when your boobies were really sore, your lower back hurt, you gained 20+ pounds, and threw up for three months?  Did you drink so much every day to think it was just a hangover?  And did you not notice the baby kicking?  

REALLY?!

I have such a hard time believing these "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories.  Your body changes so much, so quickly.  I have a feeling most of these women didn't want to be pregnant and used the "if you don't acknowledge it, it's not there" mentality.  It's a human life people, not a stain on your carpet.  But it will be a stain on your carpet if you don't acknowledge it!  

The kicker, this was the woman's 4th child!  You'd think after the first two she'd know what to expect!   

I just can't believe there were no signs!  What was she taking or on to make pregnancy symptoms disappear or seem "normal"?   Not knowing until 4-5 months with light monthly gifts is believable, but not knowing until labor?  A girl I went to high school used this excuse, I think it was an easy way to keep from getting in trouble with her parents.  It's like "Surprise! You're a grandma!"
