'I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant' documentary on DHC

FlipFlopChick

Just starting.  It's about women who didn't know they were pregnant until they gave birth.  Always an interesting topic!

too bad DH is watching Transporter 2...

oh my! that is always interesting. My BFF is a neonatal nurse and says it happens more than you'd think and too all kinds of women. So bizarre, though, how do they not miss their period for 9 months?!?!

I made my DH turn it on when I saw it on the guide and then I got on here and you guys are talking about it lol

What scares me about these stories is that the women always go to the hospital thinking they are about to DIE....which makes me think just HOW painful labor must be.

You're not kidding, I was thinking that same thing, but then again the stuff they show on tv is a dramatization so they could be exaggerating quite a bit to make more interesting tv....(but probably not lol)

Most of them think they are going thru menopause actually. And some women just don't get periods. My friend at work could have been one of those women. she gets her period only a few times a year. If her husband didn't tell her her boobs were huge she would have never tested!!! Never had one symptom. She was 3 months going on 4 when she found out!

Its sucks but its not as bad as they make it seems..I think its just that they didnt know they were pregnant so they thought it was something seriously wrong..

On a positive note....atleast they didn't have the 9month wait!...much less the 2ww

OMG I saw that...Umm HELL NOOOOOOO, that is not for me.  Where I would like a natural childbirth without drugs and with just the soothing of my husband ...I am not down with caveman type of birth where you just do it alone with your husband..I could see a home birth with a midwife but not alone, I just dont think its safe.  I know many of women before us did it but just think of back then how many babies died and how high the number of women dying in childbirth was...I will take a hospital anyday.

I'm all about drugs in the hospital!  haha

I agree.  In this day and age, where medical intervention is "freely" available, to not just have it as a back up is not smart.

Why does watching this make me want to cry? weird

Bc you want to be pregnant and these women had no intention on being pregnant and just ended up giving birth one day?  Could that be why?

Well I'm certainly not jealous of what they're going thru!  Probably just a "phantom" over-emotional symptom..LOL

skinnursemandee

you are not alone, I agree with PP you just so badly want to be pregnant.  I cry everytime I see a baby born on tv.

I'm sure MANY of you saw my post the other day of my friend who knew she was preg thinking she was like 22 weeks and went to find out sex to find that she was 39 weeks and she was having a c section!! IT IS CRAZY!!! she had no idea she was that far along (she wasnt seeing a dr like she needed too) I love her but it really upsets me too!

this was on TV a few weeks ago.

the lady who has the twins (one in the toilet) really got to me!!! I just didn't understand.
