I guess she didn’t see that coming.

heh

I suspect the mother is obese, before and after delivery.

[bigbob]

“Hi honey, guess what?”

[lurk]

A thin woman would have noticed something.

It takes a vast woman to mistake it for yesterday’s 4 large pan style pizzas.

“You got the bonus plan.”

Woman didn't know she was pregnant.



Weekly/biweekly Michigan legislative action thread

Actually a very nice story. Also very lucky to have a healthy baby at 44 years old with no neonatal care or anything.

A 44-year-old Michigan woman went to her local hospital for hernia pains. Fifteen hours later, Linda Ackley was a first time mom.

That's nothing - I saw this movie where a woman goes to a hospital because of a tumor on her neck, and ends up giving birth to an ancient Indian Shaman!

That would be a phat girl as the momma.

[ExpatCanuck]

All righty then... I saw the mom pic and I have to ask, . was this an artificial insemination?

Please tell me it was.

OK, this part of the article made me laugh:

[She and her husband] have been married for 24 years. They met at Jackson High School and became a couple when he was a junior and she was a sophomore. They imagined children were impossible; they had not taken measures to protect against pregnancy and the babies never came.

Guess they don't have very good imaginations. What act could possibly result in a man and woman having a baby? Hmmmm . . . .

[momtothree]

I don’t get this at all. The picture reveals a normal sized abdomen of a woman who just gave birth. She still has a normal baby bump (that reduces weeks later). How could she not know that her obviously pregnant looking stomach wasn’t a hernia but a baby?

[Don Corleone]

It would have been bigger news if the story line was reversed.

[Sir Napsalot]

Huh?

At 44, she thinks she’ already in menopause? When her monthly cycle stopped, she had no idea. I guess it is a women's thing......

[HangnJudge]

Believing she might have a hernia, the doctor sent her to an Allegiance Health facility for a computerized tomography or CT scan.

Not the best imaging study for a 3rd trimester fetus

[Arrowhead1952]

I remember a gal in the military who weighed about 115 or 120 and she went into the hospital thinking she had a severe digestive acid problem. She gave birth the day she went into the hospital. Had no clue she was pregnant.

[M. Thatcher]

Actually, this circumstance is not that unusual. In fact, it happens frequently enough to provide weekly episodes of a reality show on the Discovery Channel called "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant."

Woman Goes To Hospital for Hernia.....

Was the Hospital giving them away or selling them?

From the article: “Some people have nine months to prepare. I had [15] hours,” the new father said. He and Linda, who met in high school, have been married for 24 years. In 2011, Linda contracted necrotizing fasciitis, a serious type of bacterial infection. Mike Ackley told MLive that doctors didn’t think his wife would live.”

What a wonderful miracle!

[pbmaltzman]

I had a woman cousin who was obese enough that she and the doctors didn’t know when she was pregnant. She ended up having a couple of sons, though!
