So a guy at work had to leave very abruptly at work last week. Nobody knew why. Someone told me family emergency. I thought nothing of it.
He didn't come back until today. I was told he was okay but that he had a story to tell and I was to ask him what happened.
He and his wife had a daughter. How charming.
But the story is in that THEY DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS PREGNANT.
She still had periods, she didn't gain any weight, didn't feel sick or feel it moving around or anything. She started feeling crampy so she went to the bathroom thinking she had to take a dump and then she felt a really strong urge to push. She started pushing and realized she was having a baby. She gave birth to her own baby she didn't know she was having! Then she called 911 and they took her and baby to the hospital.
Could you even imagine what that would be like?? Giving birth alone, being a parent instantaneously with no mental preparation?
My question in these situations is HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY NOT KNOW???
I think any time I've heard about this happening, the woman was a bigger lady. I've met this guy's wife before, shes AT LEAST 250 lbs. She probably weighed enough to carry a baby to term without any weight gain, and I've seen bigger pregnant women. You can barely even tell if its her existing gut or baby. Which was probably the case here. As far as the periods go, that part I still don't understand.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is, Reason to Love Skinny # 118 is: never will you EVER say "I had no idea I was pregnant!" Save it for the fat ladies. I mean, I am in no way as tiny as I'd like to be, but at least I couldn't HIDE a 7 lb human being hanging off my frame. That was a small confidence booster.
Oh, and sorry I haven't been around much. My computer is super slow and I've been blogging from my phone because I'm too impatient for it. I got my prescription for adderall back and it has been won-der-ful! Total appetite killer that I can use as an excuse to not eat that people will leave me alone for. I'd never be able to tell though because my scale is broken. Maybe it needs new batteries. Oh well. Ana's still been good to me lately.

Pahaha I KNOW! I seen shows about women like that on tv and the whole time I'm thinking "whaaaa the fuuuuuhhhh?! How did you not know lady?!".
Anyways. I'm totes jealous of your aderall. I swear I actually really do need it not to mention the appetite suppressing. My mom would freak though if I turned out to need medication for anything mental though. Which, btw, I'm 99% sure I do need anxiety/depression/ADHD medication like whoa.
Oh look, I'm rambling now.
Well I am glad to hear about your luck with Ana :)
I know! I love the show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant," but most of the women they cover are morbidly obese and when they say "I was still having my period" they hadn't really. Once you are that big you just have spotting every month or so, similar to spotting you can see in pregnancy.
Holy crap! That sounds like a nightmare and absolutely disgusting! You would have to be massive to not notice that uterus expansion! I am shocked.... Gross.
Yeah that is ridiculous! Also, how do you not feel the thing moving inside you? Freakyy!
I cannot imagine not knowing you were pregnant, FOR 9 MONTHS ??? I am not a small person and their is no way I would be able to go through a pregnancy without knowing, besides I had morning, afternoon and night sickness from the time I was about 3 weeks along until a week before with my first and had extreme sickness that lasted at least a month with all of my pregnancies. Oh yeah and I looked like I had a beach ball under my shirt. LOL
