The article from slate that I choose is called "Don't Throw the Baby Out With the Bathwater." The article is about the Discovery Health show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant." I found the title to be quite funny in reference to the show. I have watched this show before and I have found that it is one of my favorites. I love to see my favorite things be acknowleged whether it be a song, show, movie, etc. If you have not seen the show, the title pretty much sums it up. The show tells the stories of women who did not know they were pregnant unil the baby comes out. Some women have the babies in their homes, some in very random places, some at the hospital. One women was having pains in her stomach and believe the pain to be from her prior health issues. She was told she couldn't have children and dismissed being pregnant long before because she did not have any symptoms, was older in age, and took a pregnancy test that came up negative. While she was in the emergency room she went to the restroom on thought she was having a bowel movement and had a baby! Then when the doctor placed her on the observation table, she still had the urge to push. She did, and had ANOTHER baby! She had twin boys. Crazy huh?!?!? Thats why I love watching it because all of the stories are unexpected. Whenever you get chance you should watch.

I can't imagine not knowing I was pregnant. It was obvious from the get go!

haha it is always outrageous to read those stories, almost hard to believe they're real!
ReplyDeleteI have watched that show a couple of times. I saw the one you that you mentioned. Some of the ones they show seem so unreal. But of course we know it can happen. As a matter of fact, my sister was 7 months before she knew she was pregnant. She ended up having her son at 7 1/2 months because of high blood pressure and diabetes
