Pregnant without knowing it!
A while back a friend or mine told me that a girl she knew had been pregnant and didn't know about it until she went into labor. Obviously I didn't believe her. But she assured me that it was true. This girl did have what she thought was her period but was probably just bleedings from the pregnancy (which by the way should immediately get checked by a doctor) and one day she got a great pain, and she went to the hospital and they told her that she was going to give birth. She got so chocked, and well, she didn't really have much of a choice on whether or not she wanted to become a mother. If this is the full and correct story, I don't know. But apparently this is more common than one would think.
Studies show that it's more likely for someone to give birth without knowing about it than it is to give birth to triplets! A study in Germany showed that 300 mothers a year went into labor without knowing about their pregnancy! An American study showed that 1 out of 475 pregnancies are not detected until the 20th week.
What worries me the most about not knowing you are pregnant is the fact that you continue your life as if you weren't pregnant. Meaning you will drink, you will smoke, you will do everything as you normally do. And this means that you could eventually hurt the fetus and you will get a disable sick and unwanted/unexpected child, because you didn't know. That is horrible.
