San Mateo County -- A 27-year-old pregnant San Mateo County woman is in jail accused of stabbing her boyfriend with a kitchen knife after the couple argued about her nutritional choices, authorities said.

The 18-year-old boyfriend, whom police have not identified, is being treated at a local hospital for stab wounds to his right lung and liver, said San Mateo County Deputy District Attorney Christine Ford. He is expected to recover and be released from the hospital sometime in the next couple of days, she said.

Maria Islas pleaded not guilty on Tuesday in Redwood City to one charge each of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence, Ford said. Each includes an added special circumstance of personally inflicting great bodily injury and weapon use, Ford said.

The most serious charge, attempted murder, carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, Ford said.

According to Ford, the incident occurred in the middle of the afternoon of Sept. 8 in the home the couple shares in unincorporated San Mateo County near Menlo Park.

“There was an argument over her nutritional habits and how they impinged on the health of the pregnancy,” Ford said.

Am I the only one who has things jumping out at them?

Do these lines suggest that the reporter might have done a little more obvious digging?

Note to self- When you get home remind boys why they must wait for adulthood and marriage to get involved

Reminds me of the good ole days in WIC counseling.
NEVER tell a pregnant woman what NOT to eat.

Huh uh, won't do that again.

[flashbunny]

Another High School Teacher????

[jwalburg]

I will TOO eat those potato chips, you little twerp.

[codyjacksmom]

When will men, or boys in this case, understand that they should NEVER interfere with a pregnant woman and her food!!! And at 3 months preggers, craving city....just slowly back away and say, "yes dear, whatever you want dear".

[Capagrl]

Add to that a few, "I love you, honey and you look GORGEOUS." and nobody will get hurt :-)

[RSmithOpt]

Think they'll get married after she gets out?

[najida]

We tell all pregnant women to get at least 4 servings of dairy a day and at least 5 or more servings of fruits and veges.

I had one girl come in, really proud of herself....she made a big ole peach cobbler and ate it with a half gallon of ice cream!

[LongElegantLegs]

It would be fascinating to know if he were trying to get her to eat better, or if he was upset about having to pay for all the fresh fruits'n veggies, or if he told her she was just getting too fat.

Best not say anything to get a pregnant wife angry you
will have to learn to sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life !
How long before they figure out how to blame George ?

[codyjacksmom]

There is nothing that can be considered "rational thinking" for pregnant women with cravings...LOL

“There was an argument over her nutritional habits and how they impinged on the health of the pregnancy,” Ford said.

He probably said something like: "Are you sure you're supposed to be gaining that much weight?"

[pelosi_is_a_dope]

He is lucky to have still his dingus .
