[QUOTE]Originally posted by Smellycheesebot: [QB] Actually, it is entirely possible to be pregnant and not know it. A relative of my grandma's was told that she could not get pregnant, so didn't worry about contraception. Then she had a baby, and didn't even know she was pregnant. She's a rather obese woman, so the added pregnancy weight and baby bump didn't show up. I think the "not knowing I'm pregnant" thing mostly happens with women who are severely under or over weight (underweight, health problems/lifestyle that doesn't really allow for weight gain; overweight, just don't really notice). Meanwhile, most women get different pregnancy symptoms (not all get a significant baby bump while others balloon out like mad, not all women get morning sickness or cravings, etc) and some can be confused with other things (morning sickness = stomach flu/food poisoning, weight gain is from a different lifestyle choice, lack of period from stress, etc). Some women even spot and mistake that for extremely light periods. And grocery store pregnancy tests are not 100% accurate. It's really rare though, but it IS possible. [/QB][/QUOTE]
