It's pretty late at night and my boyfriend is surprisingly asleep at the moment, so I got bored and decided to watch the show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant."
Could you imagine what that'd be like? If it were me, I'd probably end up giving birth in the toilet hahaha. Ugh, having to wake my boyfriend up, it'd probably go something like this:
"Babe... Babe... wake up...." "What? You look like hell" "Yeah... Well, I just gave birth in the toilet.." "That must have been one intense Poop Baby, what'd you eat for dinner?" "No.. Like, an actual living person just came out of my uterus... "
._. What would you do if you were in that situation? Whether it was your spouse or you? I would feel so stupid haha.

If we forget the fact that I cannot get pregnant I'm pretty sure I'd have a mental breakdown. I don't have an issue with children but having one of my own is a big no for me so the idea of suddenly realizing that I'm about to give birth scares me to no end. In the past I dreamt twice about pregnany as well and these two dreams are filed in my head in the categegory "My worst nightmares.".
@ ReilaChan
I'd be pretty damn shocked for multiple reasons: 1. I'm not in any type of relationship so I'm missing half the ingredients. 2. I probably have endometriosis, so therefore I can't have kids. 3. I've been on birth control for so long, I think my body doesn't even release ovums (I hate the term egg. I'm not a chicken).
BUT, if it did happen, I'd probably have a mental breakdown and I would place the baby up for adoption. I don't want to have kids anyway and if had one by surprise, there is no way I would be able to give it the care it needs.
ugh I remember watching that years ago. As much as I hate periods it's always a relief to get them, but then very occasionally I'll be like "BUT WAIT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN ANYTHING ACCORDING TO THAT ONE SHOW"
:(
My boyfriend and I were watching that show a few weeks ago just for giggles because we feel like it's so fake. I mean, I understand if you've got a few extra pounds and couldn't physically see if you were pregnant or not, but if you're a skinny minny how do you not notice a baby bump? Unless your baby is like under 6lbs. But if I was in that situation I wouldn't be too upset. Cause if you think about it you went 9 months without having to worry about every little thing that comes along with pregnancy. Most likely you didn't notice the morning sickness or the kicks? Also on that show they make the labor process seem like a piece of cake. If I was giving birth over the toilet wouldn't I know this is more than just taking a really big sh*t?! Anyways, I would keep the baby since my boyfriend and I have already discussed having kids, but I'd be shocked in myself for not being able to notice I was pregnant. (I'm one of those women who panics every time my period is due because half the time we don't use protection)
I have seen the show plenty of times its honestly not fake. It does happen and its crazy but true. I always joke that I would end up on that show because my cycles are very messed up. Like I go three months without it and when i feel sick I know I will just think I am sick and not pregnant.
This show is cool, but scares the hell out of me. xD
Yeah, no,. If you're having the sexytime, you ought to be aware that pregnancy is a likely scenario. No signs ? Bull.
collecting There was one episode (my sister had it on and I was studying) where the woman was on birth control and also had MS. She had a MS flare up not long after sexy time and was paralyzed from the neck down. She thought the weight gain was from being paralyzed and she didn't get the baby belly. When her paralysis almost 9 months later, she went into labor. I can understand why she didn't know
- There's still more signs than just a baby belly. And if she has MS, she didn't see any doctors who might have noticed something ? Not in nine months ? Really ? Dumb miseducated teenagers I'd buy, but fully grown women ? I just don't.
collecting I don't remember the full episode because like I said, I was studying. I found hers easier to believe than others. Maybe there's something to be said about those doctors. I don't know.
I used to think that show was total bullshit. I was like, I've been pregnant! There's no way you cannot know!
LOOOL
Then, surprise!! When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, I was already 24 weeks. 6 months. SIX. I had gained no weight. no symptoms. no belly. Still wearing my regular clothes. Which is hilarious when I look back on it because by 3 months with my first kid, I couldn't fit into anything, could feel the baby move, was a house etc.
The ONLY reason I knew was I felt the baby move. That was my first indication something was up. Took a pee test, positive. Expected to be around 3-4 months based on movements, periods blah blah.
hahahaha.
I nearly shit when the doctor told me how far along I was.
I didn't get to a full 9 months, but I now know how easy it is for some people to get there. sometimes your body just doesn't react! It's all in the mind, because once I found out? LOL I started showing immediately and I couldn't fit into anything I owned.
It really is a trip.
You didn't go nine months, and unlike a majority of those bozos, you had signs, the baby made it's presence known by moving. So, you don't qualify as not knowing before the ohgods labor wtf I pooped a baby idjits.
collecting - That would be a nightmare come true. My boyfriend and I are not ready for kids at all. We're still in college and I don't make enough money at my job to support a kid.
I would feel guilty and probably put the kid up for adoption.
I realize anything is possible. A lot of those women have PCOS and think they can't get pregnant and a lot of them don't get the large baby belly and all that. Some of them have slower moving babies and all that. I'm glad you found out with some time to spare and everything was okay with your baby.
omg I totally saw this show once like when I couldn't sleep one night and I was flicking through channels and there are so many horror stories (ie. one woman went to use the bathroom and literally like a human foot came out of her and she was like oh s***)
It must be awful, but in some cases I find it shocking that they never questioned the changes their bodies were going through. Mostly I hope they become good parents, despite the initial surprise of having the unexpected birth.
i love that show because 80% of the time they think the baby is going to be a demon
That's how I was born. My mom was told that she couldn't have kids. So she and my dad didn't use protection. One day in the middle of August, my mom was in a LOT of pain. My granddad (dad's dad) was worried and made her go to the hospital. And the doctor was like, "You're having a baby." "I'm what?" "You're in labour." "No." and thusly, I was born. Premature and the umbilical cord wrapped around my throat. I was born and immediately flown by helicopter to a hospital more equipped to handle the situation. I figured out that my parents had been dating only a month when I was conceived. My mom's a slut, go mom!
Thing is, like my mom, I RARELY have periods (I guess doctors in the 70's-80's thought no period=infertility), and I'm terrified I'm going to get pregnant. My husband and I agreed we're not having kids, but if I get pregnant, there's a chance I won't even know and won't be able to get an abortion in time. My mom didn't show or have ANY symptoms of pregnancy so there's a chance that I wouldn't either.
