A teenage girl had a baby without knowing she was pregnant!

I have heard of things like that happening before. I don't understand how you wouldn't know you were pregnant but I guess if you are getting regular periods and not gaining weight you wouldn't know. I don't understand how she didn't gain ANY weight but I guess every one is different!

hi maximax the story is really one of kind. didnt her tummy enlarge? maybe the baby was just for her, god made it that way so she wont abort it, this things will keep us thinking how things like this happens. i guess, she dont need to find out who the father is, the father might just deny it or it will just cause more trouble thanks for sharing

Wow, how a life can change in 3 hours time. I feel for this teenage girl but believe that must have been a reason for it to have happened this way. I'm glad she loves the baby. I is likely she didn't eat very much as money teenage girls do, trying to remain thin. I do think she should find out who the father is.

Put on any weight? Either A. she was really fat to begin with and the baby just took from the fat that was there or B. she is really, really big boned and had a very small baby. Of course, C. she's full of it, comes to mind, too. Of course she should find out who the Father is (unless she slept with two encarcerated murders or something like that). For a variety of reasons: 1. He should pay for 1/2 the upbringing of the child. 2. The child will want to know who her Dad is. 3. Only 1/2 of a medical history does not help a child. Should she worry about diabetes, heart disease esp. undetected heart problems that are congenital, arthritis, blindness, thyroid, unusual illnesses that only affect 10% or less of the population and took years to get discovered and the relatives lost a lot of their health unnecessarily waiting to find it, certain types of benign or cancerous tumors, etc.?

For reasons of the baby's interest it is probably best to find out who the father is but my friends mother had the same situation when she was pregnant with my friends brother - she had a small baby, still had periods and didn't know she was pregnant until she went into labour! I guess it must have been pretty scary for her though realising she was a mum without any warning! x

I dont really know but my hypothesis is young people have such high metabolic rate that she was burning off the excess weight that would normally show up for others.With regards to her periods I guess that is just a case of her mind superseding everything else even her normally bodily functions.

When my daughter was born I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was five months along. I was on the pill so I kept having fake "periods". I gained very little weight until the last month and I had no other symptoms other than being really tired all the time. I was seventeen at the time. So I do think it's possible for that to continue throughout the pregnancy. She should probably try and find out which man is the father for the sake of medical history. It would be a good thing for doctors to know about medical conditions that exist in the father's family as the child is growing up.

this is probably more common than you may realize. when i was in the hospital giving birth to my first daughter, there was a girl in the bed beside me who had just had a baby and her mother told me pretty much the same thing, still had her periods, didnt gain that much weight and had no clue she was pregnant. my guess was she was about 17 or so.

About the first question ,I find nothing to say .For I am a traditional girl,and I still think that the girls should be self-esteem,self-love ,and shouldn't lose their dignity. But why she didn't put on any weight is a puzzle question that I don't know,I think this is not because of her age .In fact ,how can that be true ? What about her baby's weight ?Does she is health? It's so odd. I think she should find out who is the father ,and I think the baby also wants to know after growing up .About these times ,how can a teenage her fee a baby ?How can the teenage support her baby and her.That's really a question for her I think.

this is not the first time i have heard stories such as this and i have to be honest, i do not buy it. i do not know how a woman at some point does not have a clue she is pregnant. there are so many symptoms one can experience and not gaining any weight is absurd. you have to gain at least the weight of the baby, the amniotic fluid and the placenta. i just find this so far fetched. i know anything is possible but this is hard to swallow.

I have heard of this before, I guess there are situations where you wouldn't know you were PG but I always knew the day after. I spent so much time trowing up and then I was so heavy I couldn't have not known, and so did everybody else.

I think it is very weird that someone did not know they were pregnant. I am happy for her though if she is happy. Some women sometimes do not put on weight when they are pregnant, they just stay the same weight. I think she should definatly find out who the father is, because that baby needs a father in her life.

well, she must be very lucky. i havent heard of one seeing her periods while pregnant. so it's strange and miraculous. i dont know why she didnt put on weight, it's probably cos she was still seeing her periods. and yes the father must be known. she can take both men and the child for a DNA test. this is quite unbeleivable.

That is so weird. I dont seem to understand how can she still get her periods and be pregnant. well may be

I have a cousin that didn't gain much weight as well as a friend. You would never know that they were pregnant if they hadn't told you. They were both thin women too. They didn't have to wear very loose clothes either. I also had a friend that had her period stop so she went to the DR to find out why and he insisted she was pregnat but she hadn't done any thing to get pregnant. The Dr finenly did an ex-ray and found a 13 lb tumer. So it can go both ways. As far as feeling movement she may have just thought it was gas since she didn't know she was pregnant.

I have heard about stories like this before.. And I have a friend's sister that went through the same thing as well. Well, it happened like this. Her sister suddenly had a tummy ache, and they went to see the doctor, and then found out that she is in labor. And a healthy baby came out of her that very same day! Yes, it does happen. I do believe it does... So my friend's sister she had periods all the way throughout her pregnancy. So that's why she doesn't know that she was actually carrying a child. And she even was smoking and doing whatever she does because she didn't know she was pregnant. Well, the factors that may have been a factor why she didn't think that she was pregnant was because she is a fat person. And she just thought that she was just getting a little fatter. That's about it. I guess the good thing was that she knows who the father of the baby is and also that he was her boyfriends as well. And once the baby was born they got engaged then they married after that.

I've heard of several stories like this before; one from a friend of a friend, and I totally believe that it can happen. This woman also had periods all the way through and although she did put on a little bit of weight, as she had no other symptoms and continued to have periods she had no reason at all to suspect she was pregnant. ..Until she was rushed to hospital with terrible stomach pains! At first they thought she had burst her appendix, but doctors soon realised that she was in labour. It's an understatement to say that she was in shock, lol! Her partner had to rush out to buy all the things that they needed as, of course, they were completely unprepared. It's perfectly possible for some women to just not realise. Think of all the things that alert you to being pregnant. A missed period - well, some women bleed all the way through their pregnancy, either because of an unusual hormone effect or because they have two wombs, and still have periods from the 'non-pregnant' womb. Morning sickness - several of my friends were lucky enough not to have had morning sickness at all during their pregnancy, and it isn't that unusual for this to happen. Weight-gain - again, I know a couple of people who reached nine months of pregnancy and didn't appear to have put on any weight. I was shocked to hear that a woman at my daughter's playgroup was due to give birth the following week. She had an almost flat stomach and hadn't put on any weight anywhere else either; I kept wanting to ask her if she was sure! Some women just stay naturally thin. Another told me that she's hardly shown at all during any of her 3 pregnancies because she carried her babies high, and they "hid" behind her ribs! Baby kicks - although most mums feel their babies moving by about 18-20 weeks, some babies are just not active. A friend of mine had to keep going for scans because her baby hardly ever moved, and they told her everything was fine, she just had a lazy baby! Although the norm is that we don't get periods, feel ill, gain weight and feel movement, everybody's different, and some people don't have any of these things.

Hi I have heard of stories like this and kinda am in shock . How could she not feel sick , or notice the babies kick . Unless, not all women go thru what I talked about there . I know that it is common sometimes not to have a period when carrying a baby but you pick up the other signs . I suppose because she was young or maybe was hoping in back of mind she was not and maybe would deny to herself . I dont know really ! I think it is good to know who the father is for many reasons and lets hope he is a good man.

i have a friend who also didn't know she was pregnant until one day she felt pain in her tummy, she went to the bathroom and before she knew it, poof! baby on the toilet bowl! good thing they were able to rush the baby to the hospital. the doctors were very angry at her for being so careless, and told them she didn't know about the pregnancy. she gained weight but thought it was just because she ate too much in the past months. good thing the baby's safe.

To this day, I don't know how it is possible that anyone could NOT know they are pregnant! I have seen that some of the "larger" mothers may not appear to be pregnant, but there are so many OTHER signs that show you are pregnant. I think the term here is DENIAL, not UNKNOWING.
