I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant … Seriously?

10. Mild Pregnancy Symptoms

We’ve mentioned how important it is to look out for pregnancy symptoms especially if you can’t rely on your menstrual cycle, but what about when even the symptoms aren’t that noticeable.  Pregnancy is a unique experience for many women.  While some women are exhausted living half of their pregnancies kneeled on their bathroom floor, other women may not notice any significant changes.  This is why it’s so important to pay close attention to how your body performs on a regular basis, so that your radar is triggered when anything changes, no matter how slight the

change may be.  If there’s the slightest chance you could be pregnant, it’s important to be mindful of your diet and alcohol intake to ensure your health and that of your unborn child’s.

I’m a believer, but are you convinced? Do these women just have some seriously special circumstances or a bad case of denial?  Have you or someone you know well ever been pregnant and didn’t know until the baby came?
