surprise!
I never used to believe those stories about high school girls getting pregnant but not realizing it until they give birth in the bathroom during prom. Then when I got pregnant--and realized I was pregnant about 2 weeks after conception--I doubted them ever more. So this AP story caught my eye.
BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) -- Amanda Brisendine attributed the 30 pounds she gained in the past year to an abandoned smoking habit and rich food. So when she went to the hospital with sharp stomach pain, she wasn't expecting to leave with a newborn son.
''I don't know how I didn't know. I just didn't know,'' Brisendine said Tuesday from her bed at Overlake Medical Center's Birthing Center, where she delivered Alexander Joseph Britt by Caesarean section.
I suppose we humans have an enormous capacity for self-delusion. But I still don't quite believe this is true.
