"I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant"

[krystal]

I know my cousin kept her pregnancy from my uncle (she was 17 at the time) until very late in because she wasn't showing. And she was a super-skinny girl (still is, for that matter)... The only time I have heard of someone "not knowing" they were pregnant were teen mothers, afraid of the consequences. But I do agree with Zester because all bodies are different. Some people don't show any outward signs of pregnancy that aren't far removed from the signs of PMS (bloating, cravings, mostly chocolate, aches and pains, swinging emotions).

The thing that gets me is, I don't understand how, if someone misses a day on their birth control, they get pregnant. You can't get pregnant until your body is able to ovulate again, because you have to drop an egg in order to fertilize it. I just need someone to explain that one to me...
