Dear Matt, Let me give you a lesson in human sexuality/reproductive health. I too was a woman who went the full 40 wks without knowledge of my pregnancy & still gave birth to a healthy infant, luckily for me & her, at my local hospital. Reasons 1-6 applied to me, so I think this qualifies me to comment on this issue. Prior to this experience I would never have thought this possible. The reactions I got ranged from rage (my Mother in law declared we had hid the pregnancy from her & I was the devil, even questioning the paternity) to joy (close friends were relieved we were safe!) to shock (my family, bewildered that it could happen) to how could you not know??? (from an Aunt who had asked a few months prior if I was pregnant, to which I responded no, not possible, still getting my periods, thanks! & thought she's just being bitchy/catty about my weight gain. So, in the interest of science, here we go, since you're unaware. 1. Every womans cycle is different. Not all of us have a regular period every 28 days that consists of moderate to heavy bleeding. 2. It IS possible to have a period while you're pregnant. It usually happens when there is an issue with the fluid sac your baby is in. 3. Is this woman “plus size”? Does she have a wrong shaped pelvic bone (this would give the baby no room to move, another reason she would not have noticed (it can cause a Caesarean section to be necessary as your pelvic bone will not allow full dilation) 4. Could she have recently stopped smoking or drinking, causing her to think this was why she had gained weight? 5. Did she not experience the “milk leakage” during her pregnancy? Not all women have that “oh so fun” (not) experience. 6. No morning sickness? That one is always a plus! 7. Did she take a pregnancy test & get a negative? This sometimes happens. I say this not maliciously because apart from calling her “the most clueless person in the world” you seem polite about your shock at her situation. I would also politely suggest reading a textbook on these matters, because you would be surprised at all the stuff they don't teach in sex ed. After my experience, I read everything I could find on human sexuality/reproductive health because your first thought is, if this wasn't covered in sex ed, what ELSE wasn't? (like the extremely rare case in Dallas recently where a woman gave birth to twins who were fathered by 2 different men…YES you read that right!). So anyways, sorry for the long comment, but I hope it makes you reconsider your opinion on the subject & what you called this woman.
