not unusual...usually it is teenagers who had sex and then deny they are pregnant. I have seen this five times in 35 years of practice. Three did fine, one had a stillborn malformed baby (chromosome problem, not from taking medicine to abort), and one delivered at home, and the baby didn't breathe...family heard mom crying, so the family panicked, and instead of doing CPR on the infant, rushed to bring the bleeding teenaged mom to the hospital...but left the “dead” baby in the bed. No trauma to the baby, so there were no charges to the mom.

Sigh. That last one might have lived if she delivered at the hospital...

This is why you hear about women delivering in toilets and/or letting the newborn die: they are in denial and panic...

But I've seen it in two married women who had irregular periods and infertility who didn't realize they were pregnant until they got checked for an “ovarian cyst”...

ironically all these teenagers are often good girls, not sluts: The sluts use birth control and get abortions...

“...family heard mom crying, so the family panicked, and instead of doing CPR on the infant, rushed to bring the bleeding teenaged mom to the hospital...”

Reminds me of our waitress at the small diner in a small town where we lived. She had called her husband at work that “it was time”. She carried her bag downstairs to wait for her husband.

As she made the landing it really WAS time.

By the time her husband came home there was mom laying at the bottom of the stairs. With baby laying on top of her tummy with a coat over both of them. A shoelace tied around the cord. She told the husband to call the ambulance.

I of course was amazed. “Aw honey. After you’ve had six of them you pretty much know what to do.”
