thanks TLC.

I watched this show on TLC called "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant". I know.....Gigga what?

So basically it can happen - and there are few commonalities (WARNING: some may be more than you want to hear):

• Little to no weight gain (or other typical pregnancy symptoms for that matter).
• "Spotting" which these women took to be their regular menstrual cycle, OR some women never had a menstrual cycle due to various medical conditions.
• Hmmmm, how shall I say this? Lame forms for birth control, OR mixing meds with the Pill (ex. anti-biotics).
• Dito the previous preface.....most of the women had (and I quote) "large frames". Hence the lack of weight gain.
• No noticeable baby movements.
• All women gave birth extremely quickly, within an hour of initial "cramping".

I think what was most disturbing, was that eventhough some of the women figured out they were in labor, they were incredibly stupid (for lack of a better word at 12:30 am) about what to do with the baby after it was born. Example - one gave birth in a campground bathroom (which makes me want to scream) and just let it fall on the concrete floor. Another in a fastfood bathroom, and let it fall into the toilet, and a co worker didn't even fish it out until the 911 operator told her to. (Note - all the babies on this episode miraculously survived). Is it just me, or are we lacking some common sense here? I know - the situation is traumatic, but come on people.

But I have to say - wouldn't it be awesome if you wanted to be pregnant, and you were, but you didn't know it? No weight gain, no heels pummeling your insides, no vomiting, and only an hour or less of noticeable labor?

Until of course, you feel like your insides are going to explode, and all of the sudden you have a baby in a campground bathroom......
