Oh, my!
Well, I can sort-of empathize with her.
I was four months into my last pregnancy before I realized that I
hadn't had a period for a long time. I wasn't particularly worried
since they had always been irregular and, since I was then 42, I
assumed I was doing the menopause thing.
So, I go to my family doctor just to get my own diagnosis confirmed.
"Well, let's see if you are pregnant first," he said and we both
laughed...
Five months later, at the age of 42, I gave birth to a healthy 10
pound boy.
Incidentally, my ex thought he could never be a father since he had
mumps as a teenager. When we got a divorce six years later, he tried
to weasel out of child support on these grounds. The judge took one
look at the kid and laughed since he was and still is a carbon copy of
his dad {except he is taller} My ex insisted on a DNA test, which was
fine with me since I wasn't paying for it. And, of course the kid is
his father's child. All the man did was waste his money. {And *****
off his parents who said the kid was a carbon copy of him at that
age.}

She didn't wonder why she hadn't had a period in nine months?

Another good point,,,,regardless if she was obese as the previous poster
mentioned---I find it unbelievable any woman would not know she is
walking around with a bowling ball inside. Plus--how could the baby have
survived without medical checkups, etc....and arent pregnant women
supposed to sleep a certain way--like not on their stomach or something.
Thank God I have never received any fathers day cards so I dont know
much about the subject.

Well being obese maybe not, but I would think she would feel the baby
kicking and moving, unless she was completely gassed up and her stomach did
that all the time <smile>
Plus--how could the baby have
survived without medical checkups,
The check-ups are basically preventative check ups. The old days lots of
woman didn't see a doctor and gave birth at home.
etc....and arent pregnant women
supposed to sleep a certain way--like not on their stomach or something.
lol, it's not that we're not suppose to sleep on our stomachs, but it's
almost impossible to sleep on a bowling ball... lmao

wow, did she think she was in menopause?? If my period is even 2
days late, I whip out one of those EPT tests. Can't imagine going 37
weeks without a period and suspecting nothing.

I enjoyed these two paragraphs:
"Her husband Dennis Ross, 44, had been told he could not father children
after a car accident two-and-a-half years earlier.
"He's a good size. It makes you wonder where I could hide it. My boss
was very surprised but not quite as surprised as I was," Hounsell was
quoted as saying. "
It's nice to know that her husband was a good size.
But anyway. She was probably very obese and actually, labour does feel
exactly like severe cramps.

My cramps are so bad I often say, I bet childbirth would be easier, at least
you don't have to do it once a month.
I have to take 8-12 pain killers (200mg ibuprofen) every 4 hours for the
first day. Half that the second day. If I'm to tolerate the pain.
If for some reason I don't take (have) the pain killers, I am dreanched with
sweat, and run up a fever, for 24 hours, just from the pain, nut that has
only happemed once.

When I went into labour the first time, I was shocked. I thought (silly

call what goes on in labour "cramps". It's like calling a hurricane a
"shower".

Man, if you aren't on the pill you might want to think about it.

Man this is a subject I could scare young girls with. My first child 22
hours labor and then a c-section. Not dialating and causing distress to my
son's heart and my blood pressure to go up. Thought I would die!!!! 7# 8oz
Second Child 53 hours labor, then a c-section. Different state, different
hospital, they didn't believe me I wouldn't dialate, had to threaten to sue
to get my daughter out. Second child, 4# 11oz
My periods were horrible, the pains would double me over and the heavy
bleeding lasted three days, total period 10 days, very regular, every 28
days and it didn't change on or off the pill.
Two years after my daughter was born, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer,
which spread into my uterus. 26 year old with a total hysterectomy. I was
blessed with two kids, but I decided after the two I couldn't live through
another labor.

Sounds just like my first labour Jane, except for me I lasted about six
hours before I morphed into Regan from The Exorcist..."Give me drugs
NOW" . Natural childbirth? Screw that, I was in a shocked panic. When
I'm in pain I throw up...I was throwing up every time a contraction hit
me, until that lovely epidural took effect.
Second Child 53 hours labor, then a c-section. Different state,
different hospital, they didn't believe me I wouldn't dialate, had to

My second almost killed me and her - placenta previa, she was under 3lbs
born at 30 weeks. She's 5'9" and doing fine now, 17 years later. :)
My periods were horrible, the pains would double me over and the heavy
bleeding lasted three days, total period 10 days, very regular, every

Cancer schmancer - you've beaten it twice now, right?
Anyway, I had a tubal ligation after my third was born. My daughter
does complain that I never gave her a sister...hmph. Just wait until
she goes through labour and those early sleepless baby years. Then
maybe she'll understand. :)

No ***** my sister was with me for the second and she actually told me to
stop being a baby, this a woman who at that time didn't have any children,
almost three years ago she had her first 10#er, when she started telling me
how hard it was guess what I said? Yup, "quit being a baby."

Well, there's 95% chance I can't have kids, and phil has been snipped, so I
really don't need any more birth control.
OTOH, pill has other hormonal side-effects that I'd rather not deal with.
Pill, you take every day... My OBGYN knows full well the dosages of the pain
killers I need to take. She's not alarmed.
