I saw her on the news this morning. That baby is a monster!

[missjenniebean]

I saw that! Call me naive, a SS, or what have you - but I didn't even know newborns can get that big! One of the articles I read said she took a pregnancy test in the fall, went into the DR and discovered that she was 35 weeks. Then the article said, baby was born at the end of January. So then I was confused on the time frame. I don't know but that baby is huge.


Edited because I can't think straight. HA.

I saw that. It makes zero sense to me.

2 of my friends just had 10 pound babies and I thought that was big!

[kemdupuis]

That is terrifying. 14lbs?!? It still blows my mind that some women don't have any idea that they're pregnant...

I don't understand how you have a baby THAT BIG growing inside you and you have no clue. People are dumb.

Also, some of the comments were really funny. This one pretty much summed it up:

"Congratulations on delivering a 4 month old."

I just can't with this story... It is beyond to me! How could you not feel a 14lb baby?!

[ktbear]

I'm wondering if the baby was so big because she had GD and wasnt managing it. I doubt she had any prenatal care or screenings if she didn't know she was pregnant...

[kpgrala]

How do you not know llol. Wow 14 pounds I cant even imagine. I hope my lo is not 14 pounds lol.

[fuccimama]

My baby was 11lbs 2oz at birth, and I thought that was big, but sheesh that's really a toddler! I would think one would feel that baby move if she has been pregnant before. Praying this baby is not that huge, yikes!

[mmo2112]

"They were like, ‘Your baby is like adorably huge.'"

Who says that to someone who just pushed a 14 pound child out of her? And how did she not pummel them?

I think my vajayjay screamed NO just reading this

I never believed the people who didn't know they were pregnant until my boss told me about how she didn't know until 34 weeks. In her case it was a combination of a lifetime of irregular periods and being estranged from her husband. She had a suspicion, but disregarded it until she saw the movement externally.

That being said, I'm surprised they let her deliver vaginally with a baby that big. Because damn.

H knows 2 people within his school division alone that found out in their last month of pregnancy.

I don't get it! I get maybe unexplained weight gain or irregular periods or whatever but I will never get what you think kicks and crazy movement are in that time! And 14 pounds, holy moly!
