"I didn't know I was pregnant" - Page 3

post #41 of 44
my cousin is very thin and had a baby without knowing she was pregnant. she was at my wedding in May 2003 and she didn't look pregnant at all, but then a few weeks later, early June, she was in the driveway with her then 2 year old and sat down feeling "weird" as she puts it, and her baby boy was born, 8 pounds and full term, into her shorts. She said she never felt pregnant and never felt him move, and about an hour before he was born she thought she wet her pants (water breaking) - but that wasn't unusual because she had a traumatic birth with her first and had bladder issues ever since.

It might be a family thing, but when I was thin and pregnant, you couldn't tell till the very end of pregnancy. I wore my size 9 jeans throughout my first pregnancy, only using a rubber band to adjust the button in the last month or so. I knew i was pregnant though.

This makes me wonder actually how much of our pregnancy is in our minds? KWIM?

with this baby, I took a picture with my now ex fiance and my face was rounder than normal. I looked at him and said, "I need a pregnancy test" I wasn't even really all that late. I think a day or two. I just knew I was pregnant. I have an anterior placenta and felt definitive movement at around 18-19 weeks.

However with this pregnancy, I was not extra hungry, I have not gained an alarming amount of weight, I never had nausea. Maybe a few dizzy spells and some tiredness, which can also be attributed to my bi-polar disorder. Honestly, I don't totally get it either, but I do think it's possible.

I would think going to 9 months is much more rare than finding out in the second and third trimesters, but still. I think it CAN happen.
