Hi there, well I have a friend who had periods (or what she thought were periods) right through her pregnancy. She actually didn't know she was pg until she was 28w along. No joke! She fell pg during a one-night stand and there was a condom malfunction. She was putting on weight so dieted and then found she was feeling dizzy and blacking out. She did not look pg, I know because I saw her every day. Eventually a doctor sent her for an u/s as he thought she had a tumour and the sonographer took one look and not knowing the history just blurted out 'oh so you're about 28w along'. Well my friend nearly died of shock.

The weird thing is that as soon as she had the u/s her belly dropped (she had been carrying the baby right up under her ribs) and she looked pg overnight.

Now until I had personal experience of this I'd never have believed it possible. But it did happen. You could say that my friend was in denial, but as she only DTD the once, using a condom, she really didn't think she could possibly be pg. And the symptoms (blacking out, heartburn, swelling ankles) happened way into the pg, so she didn't even think of that as a possibility.

Strange but true!!!
