A women who is 44, and never been pregnant may just not have recognized the signs of pregnancy.
My guess she just thought she was in menopause.
Bless them all, it is pure joy.
“... may not have recognized the signs of pregnancy”.
I agree that this baby is a blessing to them. However, getting a large stomach is just one sign of being pregnant. Everything changes... and I mean everything. I just don’t understand how one could ignore a moving, kicking child inside of you. Perhaps, she isn’t the most intelligent person in the world. I’m not saying that in a mean way.. but perhaps she is a bit slow and didn’t understand.
