Pregnancy-poll poll What do you think of the show `I didn`t know I was Pregnant` on the Discovery channel? I just love it and am so astonished how these women never know they`re pregnant until they are in labor! Gosh that just blows my mind....

My cousin didn`t know she was prego until she went into labor, I don`t know if she had n-e symptoms or not. She went into labor and the baby was premetur and withdrawling from whatever drug my cousin was using (dunno what) i don`t know early she was but she got put up for adoption becuz my cousin (not proud of) didn`t come back to the hospital to feed the baby like she was supose to.. My mom adopted her and she is now 9 years old, she`s healthy and all but she has many learning disablitys, and we found out when she was 4 that she has fetal alcohol syndrum, which causes her to have same symtoms as adhd.

My hubbies gran fell pregnant with her first son 35 years ago,knew she was pregnant and all but miscarried at 13 weeks.She is and was short and obese.6 months later she went into labour and was totaly shocked.She was pregnant with twins and miscarried the one at 13 weeks.There wasnt ultrasound machines those years.She felt the moving and told everyone but they said she is crazy and longing for the miscarried baby.It does happen.I cant watch that show coz our satelite doesnt show it,we get it like 3 years later.

I watch it..but some of them i still don`t believe!! I don`t know how you couldn`t feel an 8lb baby kicking and punching your insides, squiggling around, having hiccups for 5 months! It changes the way you walk, when you bend over cant u feel that it's not as easy as it use to be!? Wouldn`t you ever wonder what`s going on in there?? hmm..strange to me. I`ll never understand it.. Im also with taliyahsmom in that it makes me mad at those ladies lol!

I must say I hardly ever felt my son move when I was pregnant. I had fibroids and my son did not have a whole lot of room to move. If I did not pay attention for it, I could easily have brushed it off as gas or whatever.

I love this show! Some of the women have been pregnant before and have no symptoms this time. I also love when they show pictures and you can`t tell at all by looking. But, some of the women have symptoms and ignore them!

lori18 (950.5 days ago)
I watch it but really NEVER NO symptoms? I just cant believe it I think most of them had irregular periods so that is why they did not catch it! but the big kicks hickups and other things baby does it seems crazy!! but I guess can happen I think the women on there are just in denial! IDK?

shocked-over-3 (950.5 days ago)
They`re mostly in denial or trying to hide it from people..A few people MAY have been through this legitamently,but not enough to have a show about...By 7 mos pregnancy you are feeling KICKS ladies-NOT GAS-KICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

all i can say is i cant stop watching the show either and i wish i could be lucky enough to have no sypmtoms, still have morning sickness off and on terribly at 15 weeks, lucky girls :)

happyforest (950.6 days ago)
i never had morning sickness, not even once, never threw up till i was pushing the baby out. BUT i still had heartburn, my back hurt, i had to pee a lot, i was so tired, i was HUGE, i had other pregnancy symptoms. and felt the baby kick of course. now i know there are a few lucky people who might not have any symptoms and feel great during their pregnancy. but that they would also not show, gain weight, no period, not get any stretchmarks, have leaky boobs, or ANYTHING else along with not having the other symptoms is alsmot NO CHANCE. i know a lot of people dont get all of those, but you get at least one or two. maybe a couple people this did happen to, but enough to make an entire show about?? thats why i think its fake...

sheework (950.6 days ago)
I can`t believe it. I mean really who hasn`t ever felt a baby move or have ONE sign of pregnancy. Most of the woman ignore all the signs... my guess is they are praying they aren`t pregnant therefore ignore it.

mumzie1212 (950.6 days ago)
i dont think its ALL fake, but i do think some of the women were in denial. but the women who have been pregnant before, now thats crazy that they didnt know. i know i dont have the same symptoms this time around that i had with my first but you can certainly tell i`m pregnant, lol.

my sister in law called us from the hospital one day and was like i just had a baby! she didnt know she was pregnant. she is very short and obese. in every1 elses opinions, we are all sure it was just plain denial. if it wasnt a reality in her mind, maybe it would just go away. she partied and did drugs every weekend. she just had 1 baby she couldnt handle. and knew her family would kill her if she was pregnant with another...my guess its probably denial too with alot of these ppl.

jenakers (950.6 days ago)
My fave was the 57 year old who was told she miscarried. She did, just not all the embrios. That one I believed. She also found out at 22 weeks and not at labor. SOME of those women I flatly don`t believe. One of them, a larger women, after the story was told said `my frame never changed and no one could tell I was pregnant`...I thought hmmmm...

monkeymamma (950.6 days ago)
I don`t think it`s fake because it happened to my aunt. Now, they might change some stuff because it`s tv.

taliyahsmom (950.6 days ago)
I dont understand it..it almost makes me mad and i dont know why. like how people could not know! it honestly irriatates me but some how im always watching it! haha

~amy~ (950.6 days ago)
I was watching it the other day and thought NO WAY! I am small and most of those ladies are bigger but how can you not tell!! Joel always kicked the crap out of me! And even with the mis=placed placenta I was able to feel him move!

tawnsawyer (950.6 days ago)
haha i dont think its fake either.... but its still crazy how `pregnancy never crossed their mind` even though then hadn`t had a period and had put on weight... lol and then think the contractions are a burst appendix! lol come one ladies... 2+2=4.... anytime i have the slightest pregnacny symptom...i automatically jump to the conclusion that i am pregnant. lol one one episide the husband was like `she had put on weight but i just thought it was due to her being so inactive` lol.... geeeze... `THANKS BABE!` is probably what his wife was thinking.

happyforest (950.6 days ago)
i think its fake, just like most reality shows. they just had to come up with a new idea for a show, and this one hadnt been done yet!

athenaB1984 (950.6 days ago)
I think it`s crazy too!! I just think it`s wierd, wouldn`t you feel baby kicks and movement? I`ve been watching 16 and pregnant on MTV lately. So sad how a lot of these girls young lives change soooo drastically in such a short period of time. While most girls are planning for thier prom, the pregnant teens are planning they`re baby showers. Last night was a touching story.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
