Okay, I’ve never been pregnant. Ever. You should know that ahead of time.

The reason why I call this show bullshit has little to do with what the women say, but how they react after having the baby. Has any of them given the child up for adoption? Were any of them unhappy with what happened? Or did they all become overjoyed and elated? There. Right there. That’s you’re proof of bullshit. I honestly believe that most of the women who claim to not know they were pregnant purposely tried to get pregnant then never told anyone. Girdles and baggy shirts do the trick. Then they have the baby at home. Same thing goes for women who claim they were on birth control when they got pregnant. Really? So you’re one of the 1% of women who have breakthrough ovulation? Really? Or did you decide to skip a few here and there and see what happens? I don’t want to call all the women liars because I don’t know what really happened. All I can do is listen to their story.

It seems like every woman who experiences a normal, expected or maybe unexpected, pregnancy misses her period, shows, has other annoying symptoms (swelling, nausea, weight gain, etc.), feels the baby in them moving and the women who claim to not have known they were pregnant experience none of those things. None. Not a single one. It’s either bullshit or a phenomenon. My vote is for the former.

Very funny article. Love the doll, I immediately thought it’s one I’d like my daughter to have (if i have one)
I do tend to agree with you. I’m 16 months pregnant first time. And I find it almost impossible to believe a woman can go even 4 months pregnant and not realise it!
I mean everything about your body changes! even your sense of smell. I felt horribly sick, your uterus is pulling and stretching, no period (a big giveaway) your knockers get massive and hurt like a basta#d, your food tastes change. Oh and then there’s the thing inside you kicking your ass. I’m sorry but even if your placenta is in the wrong place or your uterus tilts the wrong way, how on this earth can you not feel a 5 to 9lb human being moving inside your torso!!!!!!!!

i also found this picture while googling pregnancy pics. love the picture.
i thought the exact same thing of that show, however the deeper i dig into midwifery study i have learned that it is possible. this has been solidified for me when it happened to someone i know.
things that can cause you to not know you are pregnant include (in my opinion in order of significance)
-not wanting to be pregnant
-being out of tune with your body
-continuing to menstrate during pregnancy which does happen, more often than you think
-having a placenta on the back of your uterus (anterior) which can prevent you from feeling your baby’s kicks
-having a uterus that tilts in toward your body cavity, thus preventing you from having a large baby belly
-having a wide long torso
i am sure there are more but i couldn’t help but play devils advocate.
that show still drives me bonkers, i guess more than anything it makes me sad that these women are so out of tune with their bodies and miss the experience of knowing they are pregnant and looking forward to meeting their baby.
as a big natural birth advocate i love how they always say “amazingly, the baby was born safe in her bathroom and everything was ok!” this makes me laugh inside because i know that women are so capable of giving birth without help more often than not.

Oh she knew, but it was “surprising” since her husband had apparently never dipped his wick. I’m sure ol’ Joe was meaning to talk to her about that too..

I’m not worried about the lightning bolt. I’m pretty sure Mary knew she was pregnant.

You’d better put a new mock up before Sunday. Mocking “surprising” births on a Sunday is likely to result in a lightning bolt.

What some people will do to get on television. How about the pregnant “man”? talk about a big farce and they gave him (her) a whole hour long documentary and guest spots on the talk circuit. Jeezum Crow!

I watched a little of that show with my wife the other night and I probably said the word “bullshit” a half dozen times. I also probably used some combination of “moron,” “idiot,” or “dumbfuck” twenty times or more.

Nicely mocked.
