Ok, so I've always heard about this happening but never knew

Post by **aly** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 8:36 pm

Anyone it happened to IRL.

So my mom's best friend has a 20 year old niece. She went off to college, 4 year track scholarship. She's always been super skinny, and she runs competitively. Never really had a boyfriend, always really quiet and shy. She came home from school last week, 2 days later, her water broke. Nobody knew she was pregnant. She *knew* I guess, but must have been in major denial.

I can't believe that. Her mom didn't even know she was pregnant. She ran in a track meet at 8 months pregnant. How in the hell?? Her water broke on Thursday and she just went to the hospital and had a little boy, over 7 lbs. My mom's best friend just saw her 3 weeks ago, thought she looked perfectly normal.

So now the family is I guess scrambling to get stuff for the baby...they had nothing prepared. Can you even imagine? They didn't even have clothes, bottles...nothing. And she has exams this coming week and has to go back to school to take them, and her mom is taking care of the baby. I just wonder what the heck she is thinking now. Can't deny it anymore! Sheesh!

I was HUGE by 9 months. I mean, even if I wouldn't have gained much weight my stomach was really out there.

WTF?!?!? I've heard of that but yeah, I can't imagine someone being that tiny as a pregnant person . . . maybe because she ran so much? How is she doing? How is her family. Yikes!!!

When I hear cases like that, I'm just shocked that a healthy baby gets born. I mean, she probably wasn't taking pre-natal vitamins, didn't have an exam, was eating hot dogs, drinking alcohol, etc etc...

Of all the things to narrow in on Crystal, why HOT DOGS?

Aly--I've never understood those stories either. There must, in many cases, be major denial going on! Thank goodness she was able to deliver safely!

When I was just out of high school my friends boyfriends best friends older sister (

) suddenly had a baby. She didn't know she was pregnant. She was married with a two year old at the time, so it wasn't like she was in denial. She had her period the whole time. She'd gained weight, but it was all over, not just in the tummy. She went to the doctor because she was having bad "cramps" and was concerned it was an appendecitis. She was in labor. The baby was perfectly healthy.

Those stories are scary! Can you imagine being pregnant and not realizing it? That would be my worst nightmare!

Yeah, I knew a girl who did the same thing. But she *did* know she was pregnant. I think she was just afraid of telling her parents, and she didn't get big at all, and one day she started having bad "cramps" and her parents took her to the hospital, and she had a baby. Then the whole family had to spend tons of money on her baby.

They say hot dogs are bad for pregnant women.

Besides, hot dogs are gross, period; I think they should be discontinued.

There was a girl in my high school who pulled that as well. Personally I never believed that she didn't know. I mean, how about when the baby moves???

She probably thought to herself, "oh, it's just a little gas." And when someone else said to her she looked a little big, she said "oh, it's just a little gas." And then when she finally had the baby, the doctor probably said "cute little fart."

Eww! They've got pig snout and horse ass and cat fingernails and cockroach in them...

Not to mention the hot dog carts that are everywhere downtown, and I HIGHLY doubt those grills are regularly cleaned.

UCKY!

But Crystal, horse ass is the secret ingredient that makes them so damn tasty!!!

Actually I only eat all beef Vienna hot dogs, thank you very much. Only cow's ass for me please.

You guys are ruining my hot dog lovingness!

Crystal Meth · Post by **Crystal Meth** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:15 am

You guys should buy Veggie Dogs.

They're really good, and taste almost exactly the same!

Marie · Post by **Marie** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:22 am

No Crystal, they don't.

Veggie dogs??? I'd rather eat the pig snout

Marie, they do so!

LB, have you even tried them?

You guys eat your horse entrails, I'll stick with my soy goodness.

Marie · Post by **Marie** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:41 am

They do NOT. I've had them, I enjoy a veggie corn dog now and again but it does not taste like the real thing. Or maybe you just have crappy hot dogs by you and that's why they taste the same.

Crystal Meth · Post by **Crystal Meth** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:44 am

Well, I've never had a veggie corn dog. I'm talking about the specific Veggie Dog brand. I mean, there are different kinds of vegetarian hot dogs just like there are different kinds of meat dogs.

I can't believe you're being such a foodie about $2 horse gut.

By the way,

on the threadjack.
