From the limited visibility in the picture provided, it looks like she might have been overweight already. If so she likely had PCOS or other hormonal disruption. It doesn’t completely rule out pregnancy happening but it does rule out the ‘she had to have known because of her missed periods’. I have a friend with PCOS who literally has only 1 or 2 periods per year. She also has central abdominal obesity. So it’t not like she would really noticed an ‘addition’ of 15 or 20lbs to her midsection. She fluctuates that much weight wise all the time.
If nuns refuse to admit women who’ve had sex prior to joining there won’t be very many nuns going forward. Maybe the orders should make the applicants tinkle on a stick to make sure they’re not pg already.
Being obese or missing periods might obscure a pregnancy in early months, but no way could either condition disguise a full-term pregnancy.
No way.
That growing baby causes many more changes than those. And he doesn’t just nap quietly in there.
Speaking from experience.
