    I've heard of these things too, and I'm confused how that happens.

    I mean, how can you not notice skipping certain things? And how can you not notice your bump?

    I dunno.

    some women actually bleed during pregnancy at the same time they would normally have a period

    it's usually much lighter and not the right color but it happens

    and, you know... dumb people are dumb

    It does seem a tad baffling

    I mean, who has morning sickness and passes it off as just feeling drained, or who dismisses a baby bump as holiday weight

    Lots of people, apparently

    The scariest part of these stories is what if the person was a bit of a drinker, drug user, or hot tub & roller coaster enthusiast.

    Hm, that's true I forget some women can still bleed during.


    But I think you summed it up pretty good... people are dumb.

    also not everyone gets morning sickness, or gains much weight

    so if you assume some idiot is still bleeding, doesn't get sick and maybe puts on ten pounds, it becomes less insane and more merely scary

    My mother had to be hospitalized during all of her pregnancies because she would get so terribly sick.

    My oldest sister's second pregnancy was similar to my mother's in that regard.

    Ugh. Craziness.

    Seriously! I didn't think I was incredibly in tune with my body but I figured out something was off a week before my period would have been. And I was religiously taking the pill.

    I'm honestly not sure how she's managed with the crap that has happened to her. Her depression is (understandably) pretty severe.

    I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable about it :shrugs:
    But it's something I can't help but think about when ever the topic comes up.

    They kept trying because they wanted to have a boy and already had my two older sisters.

    Eventually they did manage to have one...and me.
