My friend just had a baby. 4 months ago doctors told her she was NOT pregnant how is this possible?


Question:
Last week she did not even look pregnant and now she has a 6lb baby girl...go figure.

Answers:
Are you sure it is her baby? Why did she go to the docotrs 4 months ago, to see if she was pregnant?
You say she did not look pregnant, but did she look over-weight?

I am not sure, but if the doctors only did a urine stick test, and she was 5 months pregnant the hormone that activates the stick tests may not have been present, as it is given off by the DEVELOPING placenta, not a 2nd trimester fetus. There's other reasons th eurine test could come back negative.
But at 5 months, if they had done any type of manual or visual exam of her body they should have seen some changes, even if she did not gain an ounce. Most of the weight gain at the beginning of the pregnancy is just the placenta, extra water and nutrients for the baby. The baby doesn't actually gain much weight unti the last 4-8 weeks, which is why premmies miss out on so much.
I did not look pregnant until the 8 th month. I lost weight due to how horribly sick I had become, yet I gave birth to a very healthy 8.5 lbs baby. But I really looked pregnant those last 6-8 weeks.
I find it incredible that she didn't "look" pregnant last week and gave birth this week later.
That's why I asked if it was her baby. Maybe she adopted or "borrowed" the baby.
Congratulate her and give her support. She's going to need it if she didn't even know she was going to become a mom!
I guess we'll never know!
