Surprise! Its a baby

[Spike88]

A man in Michigan delivered his wife's baby with the help of 911 on the phone. The only thing is, no one knew she was pregnant. Apparently he just thought she was putting on weight since she stopped smoking. :rotfl:

Hey Bert, I was pregnant!


How thick do you have to be not to notice?
Wow.

[Dowly]

.......right

[AVGWarhawk]

You would be surprised Tchocky! My dad delivered quite a few in the ER that said soon to me mother did not know she was pregnant.

Once he told me one girl showed up with stomach pains. He listened to her heart which sounded fine and then he moved to the stomach area and found a second heartbeat going about 125 beats per minute. Baby born in about an hour....she was totally in the dark that she was pregnant.

Let me guess, the husband was away on business 9 months ago....

This reminds me of a scene from Family Guy: http://www.hulu.com/watch/44458/fami...a#s-p115-st-i1

So she did not wonder about that she hasn't had her period during the last 9 months?
I don't know either those girls are home schooled or there is something seriously wrong with the education system.
(or they didn't want to tell anybody about it until the baby was there)

Women can have their periods even while pregnant from my understanding. Also, some girls in early puberty will skip months for no particular reason. Girl gets pregnant and skips a period. Does not think twice about it because it happened previous to the pregnancy. . My wifes friends daughter had this when she was pregnant. She was not aware she was pregnant. She had no morning sickness. She was a heavy girl and any bulge for baby was not what I would call evident. It is entirely plausible she did not know.

My Fiancé has to take birth control or she doesn't get her period regularly, maybe this woman has irregular periods.

[antikristuseke]

9 months irregular?
Allso this is the first time I have heard someone mention that periods are possible during pregnancy, I am no gynecologist, but that does not seem feasible to me.

I am of the opinion that people this dense should not breed. either that or one of them is a liar.

But i could just be a cold hearted cynical bastard, who knows.

We will go to the experts........women

Entirely plausible to have periods during pregnancy. Throw in a confused young girl who is afraid to ask and bang.....

[antikristuseke]

now that I did some light browsing after reading some material at the site you linked, I still stand by the position that periods during pregnancy are not plausible, however vaginal bleeding which could be mistaken for a period can, and do, take place in some cases.

Well Jen said:

I had a full blown period on my second pregnancy for the first five months! Good Luck

Being Jen experienced this first hand and I'm a male who has not experienced a period physically but only take the rath of one from the wife...I will have to side with Jen and her observations.

[antikristuseke]

I try not to put too much stock in to anecdotal evidence, thats why I am not done looking into this mater. Will see out what gynecologists and other doctors and\or scientists in relevant fields have to say.

Biology - serious business.

Lets fly with this one and add a young girl to afraid to ask or was told that first few months of puberty the body can do strange things. Baby on the way:

One of the most common causes of period-like bleeding during pregnancy is called decidual bleeding. Sometimes, during pregnancy, your body’s hormones can get out of whack, causing you to lose parts of the lining of your uterus. This is especially common in the early stages of pregnancy, before the lining has completely attached to the placenta. While it can be troublesome to think about shedding part if your uterine lining, decidual bleeding is generally not thought to be a health threat to you or your baby.

So, this young girl just thinks things are out of whack. 5-6 months the bleeding stops. Ok, no problem, some women skip periods.

[antikristuseke]

As I said, bleeding can occur, but it is not a period as per definition. Admitedly I am being anal about this, but when it comes to definitions in what ever field of biology, it is very important for me to have things right.
Anyway, till I have done some more reading on this mater, this is all I have to say.
