Amanda Brisendine attributed the 30 pounds she gained in the past year to an abandoned smoking habit and rich food. So when she went to the hospital with sharp stomach pain, she wasn't expecting to leave with a newborn son.

George Macones, chairman of the OB/GYN department at Washington University in St. Louis, said he's seen about a dozen cases in his nearly 20-year career.

The 26-year-old Renton woman went to Group Health Cooperative's Eastside campus last Saturday after experiencing several days of abdominal pain so intense that she called in sick from work. Doctors examined her and performed a pregnancy test that showed positive — she was nine months pregnant.

Already mother to a 14-month-old daughter, Melodies, Brisendine said she didn't experience typical pregnancy symptoms, like a missed menstruation, morning sickness, fatigue or food cravings. "Everything was normal as far as I knew," she said.
Thanks, Yahoo! News.

'As far as she knows'...she had her period?? Wait. This person has pissed in the gene pool twice and didn't know if she had her period or not for 9 months??
Fabulous.
That is some crazy, crazy shit. But very funny. Thanks, Dara. I needed that laugh...
Ryane, ultimately one of the problems with the current condition of the human race is that smart people have fewer children.
Peter: I always suspected you were pregnant.
I've read a number of articles that state unequivocally that more intelligent and educated people have fewer children -- and therefore, "natural selection" is working against intelligence. So, your AP teacher would be right to encourage your class to have more kids. But it probably would have been more effective if the remedial English teacher was distributing condoms.
So, how many more kids are you and Anna going to have to have to compensate for the defecit?
Not until I'm mature and responsible enough. Or until I go into the doctor and find out that my stomach ache is really labor pain.
