Woman Gives Birth Three Hours After Learning That She Is Pregnant

I’m thinking she is overweight, and that’s what hid the pregnancy. I’m sure she was even asked if she had sex, and probably said no, then its case closed from there and the hospital can’t pry any further. It’s not the first time that’s happened.

Hooray for her not having to pay close to $10,000 for her child birth! Seriously Critical….

Your ignorance is painful.

This scenario is not that terribly uncommon and it happens most often right here (USA). Want to take a wild guess as to why?

Because we’re the fattest, unhealthiest, least doctor checkup making industrialized nation on the planet.

Interestingly, things that might help that situation would be: Healthcare for all, national standards on preventative care and checkups, and an approach to healthcare costs where the largest benefit would be keeping everyone healthy (national) vs the approach where the largest benefit would be keeping everyone on drugs (private).

It seems like more a testament to the innate ability a human has to deceive themselves than a statement about the quality of medical care.

Sorry to venture into the anatomy part of this topic, but I still don’t understand how if you are of ovulating age as this woman obviously was, how do you not notice your period has disappeared for 9 months? I understand that in some people you still have spotting each month when you are pregnant but no where near what you would have sans pregnancy. I get missing a month or two, but not 9!

I’m sorry but only an obese woman would not notice being pregnant. a 5’5″ 125lb woman is going to notice that she is carrying a child long before 9 1/2 months into her pregnancy.

Disregarding all talks on healthcare and obesity, I can’t help but think this isn’t a bad way to do it. After all, if she didn’t know she was pregnant, she avoided severe morning sickness. She also didn’t have people randomly putting their hands on her belly or asking strings of questions.

guess she thought she was finally cured of that bothersome bleeding she got every month… dumbass… My money is on ignorant fatass…

I’m sorry, but what does “she was probably obese, stupid fatass” have to do with anything? Maybe she is!

How does that change anything? Finding out you’re pregnant this close to birth is still unusual. It’s not like Neatorama posts these stories because they don’t have explanations.

Two of my dad’s sisters were told when they were teenagers that they could never have children. Shortly after an adoption fell through, the older of them found out she was pregnant. With her second child, though, she didn’t find out until she was six months along. She thought she was just getting fat and was cranky about it.

Doctors aren’t always right, but that doesn’t mean they’re always wrong, either. I mean, no one is right all the time. Does that mean no one should trust you?

I also can’t believe how many commenters take it as given that a woman’s cycle is this hard and fast thing that happens every month no matter what to every woman. My own sister almost never has hers, but I do consistently.

So, I think I covered all the insanity here. Open and obvious fat hate, complete misunderstanding of women’s bodies (probably has a lot to do with the fact that women learn to think of their periods as gross and private, and so never talk about them), and distrust of the medical establishment. Oh, right, socialism, bad. *eyeroll*

A woman, any woman, (as opposed to a young girl who might not have much info, yet) KNOWS she is pregnant. Whether she ADMITS it to herself is another story.

You cannot be 3 – 4 months pregnant and not feel the changes going on. Everything changes, from your appetite to your sleeping needs, to the way your clothes fit. And yes, your periods!

These women are women who have sex without contraception and just want to deny the consequences of their lifestyle as long as they can. It’s all a bunch of twaddle, these stories about not knowing.

Maybe her belly button didn’t pop out.

Hmmmm….is it fat “hate” or fat “disgust”? People are born a certain race, or gay, or tall or short, but fatness is a choice. A choice that in today’s society is seen as repulsive, disgraceful, and a whole host of other pejoratives.

I know of several attractive college women who ended up with a fat mate, perhaps because the man was a lawyer or a doctor. But how many men marry the obese unless they are desperate? Are women less shallow than men? Or do men have a different evolutionary psychology that is largely visual, but also influenced by society’s norms of the moment?

Didn’t this just happen in Kentucky or Alabama? Saw it on the news, the fathers’ responce was classic;
“We done had a baby.”

BM… wow.. so I guess eating bad and not exercising are the only ways to get fat.
Yes, I am fat and I’m this way b/c I’ve had a thyroid problem (hypothyroidism if you want to look it up), and PCOS, both of which don’t exactly help with weight.
Thanks a bunch for assuming that every fat person is some lazy blob that eats everything bad in sight.

Right, sadtomato. YOU have never been pregnant, so you KNOW I am wrong. LOL

It’s amazing. Well, I HAVE been pregnant and I can assure you that no matter how ignorant you think you are, you KNOW something is up. It’s not just about the periods, for heaven’s sake. You can FEEL the changes in many ways.

Good try, though, with your hopelessly backwards logic. LOL

Times like these, I’m glad I’m a man. I don’t have to worry about a baby suddenly popping out of me.

it’s conceivable…only………

It makes me very sad that there are so many comments on here meant to provoke anger, hurt feelings, perpetuate harsh judgements and on some sick level validate a need to be right.

True there are a number of things that could have happened to show her and others like her that a pregnancy is happening. There are equally as many thing that present to say that a pregnancy is not the cause of the symptoms.

NONE OF US have the authority to create a judgment on her or on anyone else.

Yes I agree that there is an issue with nutrition and exersize EVERY WHERE in the world. Being hurtful is not tough love, it is plain out ABUSE. Just because it was done to you and you turned out “ok” does not excuse this disgraceful practice of hate.

I personally wish her, her baby, all that she loves, and yes even those of you who use hurtful words, finds loving support and health.

Who cares how it happened, its in the past, it happened, its done, move on!
