Parenting after a Loss

How do you not know

you are pregnant with an EIGHT POUND BABY!

Yep. Lady came into ER last night with abdominal pain. When they asked her if she could be pregnant she said no. She got up off the bed at some point and it was wet. So they checked her and the baby was crowing. They rushed her up to OB. Didn't even get her off the gurney, just delivered right there. Baby was 8lbs and when she found out she exclaimed "What the hell?!"

  • That's eight lbs of denial right there. Poor kid, mom doesn't even know you exist until you arrive. Hope she was semi-healthy the entire pregnancy!

  • Apparently she suffered a m/c 8-9 months ago...and was dealing with some tumor? Was the tumor a baby? I don't know...that part is hazy.
  • 8lbs a baby is hard to not notice but I did have a friend who had and IRL "I didn't know I was pregnant" story with her first baby.

  • Yowsers... that's crazy!  Did that make the local news?  Perfect story for "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant."

  • And I actually *know* the dad and looking at his fb "blow up" with comments is pretty amusing.
  • Thats crazy! 

    Same thing happened to my aunt.  Large lady, her kids were already grown and moved out.  She thought she was going through menopause and never went to the doc.  Surprise!
