Reason Number 150 Why You Should Have a License to Have a Kid

By: Kevin on 07/31/07 @ 2:25 am

Two months ago my mother went to the east coast for my cousin’s graduation from high school, while there the most fantastical event happened.

At my cousin’s graduation party there was a very heavy set girl there that was dating the son of my aunt’s boyfriend. She was right around the age of 20 and was having a hell of a time at the party, Julie was hitting the mixed drinks hard (otherwise known as Lohan style). The girl also chain smoked like someone was trying to take her cigarettes away from her, all in all a very charming girl who was someone you just couldn’t forget.

The next morning my mom got a phone call from my aunt.

Aunt: Well we had a little problem here last night with Julie.
Mom: Wait… who is Julie?
Aunt: The girl that drank like a fish and smoked like 17 packs last night.
Mom: Oh my god what happened? Did she throw up all over the place? She really was drinking a ton.
Aunt: Not exactly, she had some abdominal pain and we ended up rushing her to the hospital.
Mom: Is she okay?
Aunt: Yeah, she gave birth to a 4.5 pound baby.
Mom: …. uh…..

Yup, Julie was pregnant and didn’t even know it. Apparently Julie’s periods are rather spotty and she didn’t even second guess that she hadn’t had one for like 8 months. Thankfully the baby was healthy, a little premature but healthy, how it didn’t end up with fetal alcohol syndrome or looking like the midget that used to hang out with Pedro Martinez I don’t know.

Pedro Martinez’s midget

How is it possible to not know you are pregnant?

While I don’t have a fallopian tubes, I still have a general understanding of when something is changing in my body. Basically the rule of thumb is that when it hurts when I pee I need to go to the doctor. How could this girl miss the cramps, nipple irritation, nausea, back pain, cravings, headaches, or frequent urination? Did she just pass it off as a shitty plate of nachos bell grande accompanied by a little too much to drink?

Pregnant Fat Girl

The person I really feel bad for is the boyfriend, talk about stepping on a land mine. He is now saddled with a child that he didn’t know about with a girl that was too stupid to know she was pregnant, I see this turning out well.

Thoughts, smart ass remarks, comparable stories?

HOLY HELL! Fast forward 25 years when child is getting ready to have child of his/her own and asks about his/her birth story…

Child: Mom, how was your pregnancy with me?
idiot: I dont know actually, I was too wasted to remember and did not know I was expecting…

People like this seriously piss me off! SHe HAD to know she was pregnant! Missing a period for that length of time is definitely noticeable! I have to admit, when I was pregnant with my daughter I missed 2 before I realized something was up, but I had just stopped a contraceptive so it was not uncommon for the change…

Women like this one should be sterilized! This just screams white trash and makes me Ill!

I remember reading a few months back about this 500 pound woman who went to the hospital with what she thought was gas and out popped a very well-nourished baby. Maybe, as you approach a certain level of obesity, abdominal rumblings are so common, even the movement of a human inside is undetectable. Maybe? I don’t know, I was pregnant last summer and I knew instantly. A woman SHOULD just know these things.

Baby bump! That’s great. Love that.
How can you not know? I guess if you’re alittle plump you just think it’s indigestion? I need an alka-seltzer! omg a baby just fell out of my vajayjay…
Or maybe she was just in denial. Nothing like a good daily buzz to keep reality away. But I hope she wasn’t in a constant stupor for the kid’s sake.

There is actually this girl around where I live that was pregnant and didn’t know it. The thing is it was her 2nd baby so you would have thought she would have some clue what pregnancy was like. I mean I have had 3 babies and there is no chance i could play all the movements and kicks off as gas or whatever. I just don’t get it. and i know lots of people who smoke just to have a smaller baby…STUPID people

I don’t believe anyone who says they don’t know they’re pregnant, there are far too many obvious symptoms to write them off to indigestion. Sorry for the TMI, but I sometimes only get a “cycle” one a year and I take a home test every few months or if I know I’m going to go out drinking since I don’t do it very often…hell, that’s how I found I was 6 weeks pregnant with this last baby (and wow, was that a surprise!).

Looks like her craving were for alcohol and cigarettes. This is just further proof that something needs to be done about stupid people breeding.

Dumb broad was probably trying to kill the baby. My adopted brother has FAS, you won’t know until the baby is a year or two. Stupid bitch should face the chair.

There doesn’t have to be signs. I knew a woman who was morbidly obese and working very hard to lose weight. She exercised ever day and put the odd cramping in the tummy down to that. When she started craving foods she also put it down to the diet. She also never missed a period. Some women still have peruiodic bleeding/spotting so don’t know the way ‘normal’ women do. The worst was? This lady was working with a doctor to help her lose weight - he saw her every two weeks. Dieticians and the like don’t do the kind of tests that would verify or rule out pregnancy, they just ask if you are/aren’t before you begin. When she went in and told the guy she was having bad cramps he looked her over and had her taken to the ER - she was in labor. It was her second child but the pregnancies were utterly different - no morning sickness, no stop to the menses - nothing but the frequent urination and tiredness that someone workign hard to lose weight would also experience. Her son is now a hellion and she teases the boy (loving exasperation) saying her pregnancy was the only peace she had with him - he’s a year younger than my son.

However, the woman above…words fail me.

Ummm….I don’t know how she didn’t know she was pregnant, especially all the changes that happens to the body. Well, a friend of my mom’s didn’t know her daughter was pregnant until she was like 8 months. I think that was caused by the massive amount of fat she has…haha.

On another note, it feels like I haven’t read one of your blogs in forever!

That child might appear to be healthy now, but it could end up being mentally disabled if she smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish. You’re right, the gene pool needs a lifeguard.

I knew my nephew’s girlfriend was pregnant before they did. My nephew kept saying she had the flu. You know, that strain that lasts several months and doesn’t make you ill except at a certain time of the day.

Anyway, it isn’t outside of the realm of possibility for a woman not to know.

Theres no way you don’t know. You may be in denial, but at some level you have to know you are prego. I wonder if she was trying to have a miscarriage with all the drinking and smoking?

DAMN! I knew I was pregnant within the first week of being pregnant. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I could tell there was something different, and it’s not like I was trying to get pregnant or wanted to be.

I completely agree that you should have to get a license to have a child, of course I might not have passed and yet I am a kick-ass mom.

Oh yeah I have a story. There was this girl I used to work with. She’s a beautiful girl and we all drank at work because we all worked in the nightclub as promoters and VIP hostess. Anyways she finds out that she’s five months pregnant with TWINS! and she claims she didn’t know. She doesn’t smoke (well cigarettes anyways) but she did drink a lot of champagne. And she’s not fat either so I don’t know how she missed that. Anyways she gave birth to healthy twin boys and she’s back to her size.. from what I hear. She’s even more stunning if that’s possible. Some people have all the luck!

Another story? My step cousin had sharp pains one day and went to the hospital and delivered a healthy baby girl. She had NO IDEA she was pregnant. We didn’t either and we lived together. Thankfully she wasn’t a lush.. and I forget if she smoked or not.

p.s. ICK! 4.5 lbs is not a healthy baby…

It is possible to be pregnant and STILL get your period, not likely, but possible. If this girl was in her third trimester though, I have no idea how she didn’t know. Nothing cooking in the fart factory feels like a baby kicking.
Those stupid fucks that leave their 3 month old in the car in August, in Georgia, with the widows up for six hours need to have a week eater inserted into their birth canal and just let that bastard go for about an hour.

How can someone be that stupid??? Most of my friends who have babies knew they were expecting real fast. Maybe it had to do with the whole morning sickness, cravings, getting big and feeling like shit.

“It isn’t outside of the realm of possibility for a woman not to know” unless you’re paralyzed from the neck up. I’ve had 4 children and each of my pregnancies was different, and I worked for an OB/GYN for years, so I have a wee bit of experience with the subject of pregnancy. There’s no way she didn’t know on some level, probably just in denial.

As for FAS, it’s going to take some time to see. Being premature already set that poor baby up for developmental delay and any number of physical issues, and FAS is just going to complicate matters.

As for licensing parents, not really feasible. HOWEVER, one solution I can think of would be to make people be held accountable for their stupidity instead of patting them on the head, offering them more services at taxpayer expense, and handing their children back over to them to ruin some more - physically, emotionally, and mentally. Try them in a court of law and if convicted, terminate their parental rights and sterilize them permanently.

Many years ago in December, I attended a holiday party at a friend’s place with his family. About a week later he called to notify me that his pretty, (unmarried), and Very Not Fat sister had just had a baby. I pointed out somewhat dismissively (thinking he was joking), that I’d been over to his family’s home the week before, and she was there and she clearly was not pregnant. He assured me she wasn’t pregnant… anymore. Apparently she had been totally unaware she was pregnant, and the simply Didn’t Show. Her pleasant behaviour is not freaky as with this Julie person, but/so her baby was normal, and to my knowledge is still alive, probably in his mid-thirties or so.

Thank You for solidifying my argument that stupid people should be sterilized to prevent more stupid people.

My mom didn’t know she was pregnant with me until she swallowed the radioactive crap to help you see inside the stomach for an X-ray and they said “OH. THIS could be why you are feeling like shit!”

Yeah. This was before military doctors gave pregnancy tests FIRST before running a bunch of tests to see what was wrong with women.

I don’t know how people don’t know though because with both of my pregnancies, I knew RIGHT away. Weird dreams, nausea, all kinds of weird stuff..I just knew *shrug* I’m not a very big girl though, so maybe that had something to do with it (and I mean HEIGHT and weight).

It makes me sad to hear stories like this, though. Poor baby :(

I have no idea how she didn’t know but I have some great tips for anyone who would like to know when they are or are not pregnant.

1. Use birth control
2. Don’t fuck around when drunk
3. There’s 2 more holes… at least, if you’re worried just use one of them extras.

I know that 2. is almost impossible as the time most people fuck around is when drunk, it’s my favourite too! I’m just saying that drunken sex usually correlates with busted condoms and filed rape charges.

Muchos Kudos!

Oh man, that one takes the cake. I knew a girl like her once, who went into labor and then “figured” out she was having a baby, and was like 300 pounds, drank big linebackers under the table, and chain smoked, as well. Her little girl came out and we all looked at her and were saying, “hmmm. She looks a bit off.” (She had FAS). I seriously don’t know how someone can’t assume they are either dying of ovarian cancer or are pregnant when they aren’t having periods, and I don’t care how irregular you are. You know your body. And what about that kicking sensation inside? No, it’s not an alien baby and it’s not funky gas from the trough of burritos you snorted down. It’s a child. And unfortunately, the child will be the one to suffer. Just because the baby doesn’t have FAS, doesn’t mean it’s not going to have respiratory issues with a chain smoking mom who didn’t even have the baby at an acceptable birth weight. The poor kid who is now a daddy is saddled with this freak of a woman for the rest of the child’s life. That’s just sad.

Sorry! Don’t feel bad for the boyfriend one bit - if he doesn’t have the brains to keep it zipped up and not go around knocking up obviously stupid chicks, well, he brought it on himself. But give them both a chance - some people mature considerably once they have another life they are responsible for. I wouldn’t bet money on it for these 2, but you never know….

I think she was in denial.You see as a female regardless of your size or age you will know when you are pregnant.Too many changes for you not to know.
She was probably hoping to kill the baby by overdosing on booze and cigarettes.

I am involved in the health industry and last year, after a chick popped out a kid instead of a turd in my region, I once asked my ER doc if that was common.

Apparently, in my fairly small city, it happens about 40 times a year.

That’s 40 fat chicks who didn’t know they were pregnant.

I’m freaking amazed.

And the bigger the city, the higher the number would go, it would seem.

There are no words for those type of baby-breeders…

well, the woman in THIS story:
http://www.wltx.com/FYI/story.aspx?storyid=43608

says that she gained a little weight, but she thought it was due to quitting smoking and bad food choices.

she also says that she never felt the baby move, never stopped having her period, and didn’t have any nausea or cravings.

it DOES happen.

i saw a story in some magazine once..this lady didn’t even gain hardly any weight! they showed a picture of her in a bikini taken like, 1 month before! i guess the baby was small, and kept itself towards her back or something.

The stupid burns. That kid is screwed whether he has FAS or not. He has a drunken tard for a mother. A clueless kid for a father. I just hope he doesn’t end up in my classroom. I’ve got enough of them.

Someone I work with insists she had no idea she was pregnant until she gave birth on the bathroom floor. Bulimic (sp?), alcoholic, and clearly not all there. We think severely bi-polar, probably in complete denial. Feel sorry for the guy and the kid but get her help.
