Having been pregnant three times, it is inconceivable that someone could NOT know they are pregnant.
There is simply NO not feeling the kicking in the ribs and tap dancing on the bladder, not to mention the other signs of a pregnancy that happen when a woman becomes pregnant.
She must have been in an unbelievable state of denial.
What her boyfriend thought too.
Having been pregnant three times, it is inconceivable that someone could NOT know they are pregnant.
And yet, we hear about cases like this (didn't know until the birth) not infrequently.
One would think fluid retention, swelling breasts and ballooning up 30 pounds in a few months, would be a Clue.
With all the telltale signs, ironically she was nun the wiser ....
Hearsay, of course, but my friend Liz told me about an acquaintance of hers who had a daughter the same age as my friends’ daughter. The woman had been completely surprised to have a baby. No awareness at all. She was a weird and obese person who was incredibly un-self-aware. This may not be as impossible as we think, given some people’s mental states.
(BTW, I definitely noticed my pregnancies, too.)
