Extreme Veteran 1018 | Subject: RE: Woman Has Surprise Birth While Training for Marathon I just don't understand how some go through a pregnancy without knowing. My wife said she could feel hiccups and all the moving. These stories you usually hear are when the woman is morbidly obese x2. She doesn't look it. Interesting story. |

Unless you are obese and completely out of tune with your body I just don't see "not knowing".... |

Veteran 622 Roll Tide!! | Subject: RE: Woman Has Surprise Birth While Training for Marathon First of all: Awwwww! Did you see that sweet baby??? Every pregnancy is different, every woman carries different. I had no baby bump- I was HUGE everywhere. Yes, I definitely knew I was pregnant. As far a news woman saying she would be to tired to drive down road, she's still working, right? I was super active and strong all the way through my pregnancies, even a huge as I was I could have jogged a few days before & came home and picked up right where I left off(activity wise) How awesome would it have been not to have known you were pregnant and just pop a baby out? Mine took FOR EVER!! |

Pro 5011 Twin Cities | Subject: RE: Woman Has Surprise Birth While Training for Marathon All of the other obvious (or one would think) symptoms aside... runners? Really? Has no one noticed that they are the most uptight, easily-freaked-out-at-every-niggle-especially-right-before-a-race-call-doctor-google-and-find-out-WTF-is-wrong-my-running-career-and-consequently-life-is-over group of people on the planet? I do see those stories about chicks who had no idea, and while somewhat skeptical, I can typically give most the benefit of the doubt. This one... I don't even get it. |

Mine took FOR EVER!! The longest 9 1/2 months of my life. I remember being so depressed and my husband saying, "You can't be pregnant forever." I didn't believe him. I don't understand how someone of normal size could not know. |

Unless you are obese and completely out of tune with your body I just don't see "not knowing".... Exactly! Although I have to admit when I got pregnant at 22 y.o. without benefit of marriage, I ignored the obvious signs for 3 months since there was absolutely no way (she says tongue in cheek) that I could be pregnant. But, I knew my body had changed and really knew I was pregnant before I went to doctor for the pregnancy test (olden days before home tests). So, I don't buy that someone who is fit enough to be training for a marathon and had a baby before and is not a child, can't figure out something is going on with their body and check it out. The problem with not knowing, is that they obviously didn't take prenatal vitamins and may have been engaging in other harmful activity for their baby. Crazy. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Woman Has Surprise Birth While Training for Marathon I've seen the shows/read the stories and some of them seemed legit. But still--I mean--really? Until it happened to a friend of mine! She wasn't an athlete but was always very active, slim and such. I saw photos of her within three months of her delivery and she looked normal! She had always had an irregular cycle, and she had apparently had some breakthrough bleeding during her pregnancy which she mistook for periods. ONE WEEK before she delivered, she went to the doctor because she was having stomach pains and was unusually bloated (I'll say!) Talk about a surprise. And yes, she was that far along, the baby was not premature, and while he was small when born (just under 6lb) not abnormally so, especially since she's Indonesian and pretty tiny herself. |

A woman in training for a marathon goes into labor with a baby she didn't know she was carrying. My system blocked that link so I'm not sure if that story gives the extra punchline, but the one I read does: Punchline being, her husband had a vasectomy. No wonder she never suspected she was knocked up! |

Or these women are seriously out of touch with their bodies. After having carried and delivered 4 babies, all I can think is "what????" |

Expert 3145 Scottsdale, AZ | Subject: RE: Woman Has Surprise Birth While Training for Marathon Sounds like she already has a litter of kids. Perhaps she just long forgot what it felt like NOT to be pregnant so being pregnant was normal feeling to her. That's all I got. And if the husband had a vasectomy...oh buddy I want a follow up story to this one. |

You HAVE to go back and get that diploma. My doc made me take two tests before he said I could graduate. |

Pretty much the same story for a friend of mine. See now you read it on the internet so it must be true. Seriously though, I guess it does happen. Statistically it doesn't surprise me either. |

Hands down, the most terrifying show on television! ^^ x2 My husband can't even flick through it lol But seriously, I have two friends who didn't know they were pregnant until 5 months and 7(!!) months. Th one that didn't find out until 7 months is pretty small, skinny type, UK size 6/8 skinny and didn't put on any weight other than a bit of a rounded face, but def nothing on her stomach. But her not knowing had a lot to do with other trauma she was going through (her partner, the child's father) was shot dead during a robbery. I guess our minds can trick our bodies into anything. |

Master 2177 | Subject: RE: Woman Has Surprise Birth While Training for Marathon I wonder if the baby was a mellow one in her belly. My last two did back flips and such in mine. Seeing a body part move from one side of my belly to the other, and the round house kicks to my bladder would have had me suspicious, at least. Wonder how tall she is. I'm pretty short. Not much room for hiding out in secret for too long. Pretty neat though to be able to get through 9 months without all the anxiety and waiting! |

Champion 6046 New York, NY | Subject: RE: Woman Has Surprise Birth While Training for Marathon I cannot wrap my brain around this. Even if there was no weight gain, things shift! and my kids would stick out a but, an arm, a foot under my ribs....I could entertain entire rooms of people with the movement. And she had 2 kids already! how could she NOT KNOW???? |

I'm 5'9 and all body (I have seriously short legs). 32 weeks pregnant and if you were to look at my belly right now there woudl be no question that there is a baby moving inside it (seriously, what the hell is it doing in there?) I look less pregnant than friends due after me that are shorter, but definitely look pregnant now. |
