Re: that's what I don't get ...
If she was very irregular and often skipped a period or three, or she had spotting the whole time, I can sort of see where she could convince herself nothing strange was going on. But again, it smacks of either stupidity or deep denial. Pregnancy has such a constellation of symptoms, not least includes breast changes. And like I said, the feeling of a near-full-term baby moving around inside you cannot be mistaken for anything else. It's just not believable.I think, therefore I judge.

There's a whole tv show dedicated to this. It's not as uncommon as you'd think. All the episodes of "I didn't know I was pregnant" that I've seen, the mothers explain away symptoms to other logocal things or they really do display no symptoms. Many say they never felt the baby move in a way that signified to them that there was anything alive moving around. And some never gain weight or gain only like 5-10 lbs and think nothing of it.
