9 months preggo?
9 months preggo?
My husband comes home from work looking very pale and says, "guess what happened?" I really could not imagine what had him so rattled, I mean he works at a very busy level 1 trauma center in the city, there is not much he has not seen at least once. I must confess I was shocked by what was to follow.
A thirty six year old woman walks into the ER complaining of "belly" pain when hubby asked her if she was pregnant she said, "I don't know" He then asked when was your last menstrual cycle? Trying to be diplomatic knowing him. She said, "May 2008"
(Hmmm, do you think that could be a problem?)
Well, my husband did an exam and ultrasound and sure enough she was fully dilated, so much so that there was not any time to transfer her to a different hospital and there was not an ob-gyn in the state who would come into the hospital to deliver her baby, she was not there patient. With malpractice rates so high the liability is too much for them. All said and and done, with a great deal of sweating a healthy beautiful baby girl was born weighing 6lbs 4oz. to a mother who claims she did not know she was preggo and had no medical care during her whole pregnancy.
I don't understand how you can not know you are? What about morning sickness, being so tired the first three months, the baby kicking, the weight gain? Do you believe her? What are your thoughts?
