I've seen a couple documentaries about women who have been pregnant but they didn't know it until they had the baby. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch these documentaries in their entirety so I don't really understand what's going on with these women.
Recently my step-cousin had a baby (at 18 years old, very religious family... you can see where this is going) and she claimed that she didn't know she was pregnant until she had the baby.
My question is how? How can you NOT know you're pregnant? You can't feel the baby kicking? Is this just an excuse for some women, or is this a psychological phenomenon? Is there any kind of medical term or "disease" that explains this?
Thanks for the input :)
