    @MeganF08 I cannot comprehend that... was she just in massive denial?! Was the baby hopefully ok since she obviously didn't prepare with proper diet, vitamins, abstaining from alcohol etc??
    She and her husband had apparently been trying for a baby for 6 months so she had at least been taking prenatal vitamins but apparently she was still having a period each month. She definitely had not abstained from alcohol as she was drunk at the rodeo just a few weeks ago. Thankfully the baby is completely healthy. They had to have someone go buy them a car seat just so that they could leave the hospital! 
    What I find to be the most unbelievable part in all of this is baby kicking and moving... how did she rationalize her stomach moving on it's own?

    Happy birthday @sdLindenberg !!

    @meganf08 - I know those stories are crazy but they do happen (mostly to young women though I would think).  My cousin was 15/16 when she had a baby...she gained 10lb over the holidays and didn't have a belly (I saw her a month before she delivered).  She had the baby in the bathroom of her house with her mom delivering it because she thought she was just having a difficult poop until she felt something much much different coming out.   

    **QBF**

    A lot of weird things happen in your body at 15/16 so that makes sense to me. This woman is in her early 30's so I just couldn't imagine. She had put on some weight too but since she just got married (roughly 9 months ago), they thought it was marriage comfort weight.

    I have a friend who didn't know she was pregnant with her 3rd until she was almost 5 months bc she kept having periods...went to the doc and they told her, so I guess it could happen if you don't know what to look for at all (or apparently, even if you do)

    So my boss just told my coworker and I a story about his friend who went to the ER last week for stomach pain. She apparently was having severe cramping and bleeding and was concerned that maybe it was her appendix or something. Anyways, at the ER they asked if she was pregnant and she said no but they told her they needed to do an ultrasound anyways. When they did the doctor confirmed that she was VERY pregnant but he wasn't sure how far along since that doctor was not an OBGYN. They sent her to L&D where the doctor confirmed she was 39 weeks pregnant and having the baby right then. So basically, she went to the ER at 1:00AM and birthed her new surprise baby by 1:30PM. I know you see things like this on TV but I have always assumed that they are fake. How do you explain away the kicks...just the craziest gas you've ever had? I am still in shock thinking about all the prep work, classes, research, and reading I have done to prepare and still feel like I am behind meanwhile this girl went in for cramps and is going home with a tiny surprise human. How crazy is that? 
    These kinds of stories are incredible?! HOW?????? I don't get it!?
    I still don't believe them.  You coworker was lying.  There is NO WAY. I am in denial any of these stories are true :smile: 

    HOW???? Pregnancy hurts! I'm with you @NicknShan
    Seriously! That is absolute craziness! I can't imagine how unprepared you must feel when someone hands you a baby and you're just like, WTF?!?!

    Not as extreme, but a guy I went to high school with and his wife just posted they are pregnant last week. She is due 4 days after me and posted the day they found out. She said it is fairly common for her to miss periods and she thought the movement was her digesting food. She was "bloated" and super uncomfortable the last few weeks so she decided to go to the doctor. What really got to me about the story is she already has two children aged 15 ad 12! How on earth she did not not recognize the feeling is beyond me??

    For me the moral of that story was: no matter how unprepared I feel like I am for my LO, I am still way more prepared than that girl was ;)
    You make a sound point here! No need to freak out over anything, right?

    @dennyandlee  Not in the original post, but people were asking questions in the comments and she ended up giving all of them throughout the post.

    My new coworker apparently thinks Lysol and Febreeze are the same thing. I just walked in to a gas attack and I'm pretty sure I have no nose hairs left. LYSOL CLEANS SURFACES.
    H has a coworker like this.  She also apparently sprays the lysol into a fan to make sure it reached the whole room and sprays the air whenever anyone uses the microwave.  She has been asked not to spray the Lysol anymore but continues to do it.   I can't even imagine.  Maybe you need to bring a bottle of Febreeze so the new coworker can see the difference!

    They even make a special lysol for the air (or at least they did) that isn't as harsh as actual lysol!  Ugh.

    @catherinekate I don't believe that for one second. I mean how much beer was she drinking if she wrote off an entire baby bump as a beer gut!?!

    Was the kid okay despite the drinking?

    I can't imagine... You wake up one day and here's a baby! But second others, maybe that's not a bad way of going about pregnancy lol. Aside from drinking and doing all the bad stuff in excess when you are pregnant. That just makes me sad for the babies.

    Serious question...I know three women going through struggles with infertility right now.  I'd like to send them (especially one of them) a little something to let her know I'm thinking of her (we don't live nearby so I can't take her out).  Is this a bad idea?  What would be something small but nice?

    I've had a few "oh wow" kicks/punches but as someone with a baby placed pretty sturdily behind an anterior placenta and as someone with major stomach problems my whole life, my stomach used to move violently all on its own before pregnancy with Celiac issues if I ate something cross-contaminated, I could theoretically see how it could happen.  That said, I think you would still need to be in denial a bit though.
    @mkemommy I am with you 100%.  As someone with moderate IBS and now comparing to pregnancy with an anterior placenta I sometime wonder to myself it what I am feeling is definite baby or major gas bubble through the intestines.  I generally wait a minute to see if said feeling is followed by gas  :s ew!  I knew someone in high school that tried to play it off to her parents like she didn't know, but I think she could really only claim extreme denial for the first 6 months...considering that some of us knew she was pregnant before the baby came.

    I would think this is a wonderful idea...I don't know if I would be way upfront that you were thinking of their troubles while basking in your pregnancy glow, but a sweet note to let them know you are thinking of them and there to support them is awesome.  I think a $20 gift card to a local spa to help them pamper themselves is always nice...generally you can call the spa directly for a gift card or even order online.

    Y'all my best friend since middle school (aka 17 years!) Was just diagnosed with pcos. I have no odea what to say to her. She lives 4 hours away so I can't just drop into talk to her. she is the most "mom" person I know, she got her degree in childhood development, has always worked in daycare since we were 16 and had been TTC for 2 years. She is not acting like it bothers her alot, but I know it has to. We always planned for our kids to grow up together. She is slightly overweight but honestly she is one of those people with a slower metabolism. I feel awful because H looks at me suggestively and I seem to get preg. 
    Has anyone had a friend go through this? 

    Edit: I have a few other people in my life with fertility issues,but all but one are single and not TTC

    PCOS isn't the end of the world! Lots of people are able to conceive despite having it. Although I don't have an official diagnosis, my doctor believes that I have it and that's why I had a harder time trying to conceive. He also thinks that is why I have had such problems with my progesterone levels. There are lots of things she can do to help combat it. Tell her to look into "PCOS and gut health". I started taking some supplements to help with mine about 60 days before I got my positive test.

    I have PCOS. This baby was "impossible" and "could only happen with IVF." H and I joke that the chicken and waffles in Memphis are more potent than clomid. Be supportive, tell her to maintain hope, if she's an active Christian (or other religion) tell her to pray, and keep in mind these diagnoses are way better than not knowing anything at all and never having a child. It will be hard for her to be around you. Just be understanding and patient. Sounds like you love her a lot, which is the hallmark of a wonderful friend.
