Mother of the Year

One of the numerous phenomena that fascinate me is women who "didn't know" they were pregnant. The claim just doesn't seem plausible, somehow.

Try it on for size: I've always been heavy and/or had a bad stomach and/or cramps and/or crazy hormone surges. It never occurred to me that I might be pregnant as a result of the unprotected sex I had back in November.

See what I mean? Men are expert at denying unplanned pregnancies, but it's a much harder act for a woman to pull off.

This gruesome account in today's Post is by far the most extreme case I've heard of.

Yuck, I won't be calling her taxi service anytime soon. Gross. How about birth control?
