PiscesCasting Call: 'I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant'
Videogum.com: Obviously, the Discovery Channel show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant," which as the title suggests is about real-life women who somehow did not know they were pregnant until the baby was born, is depressing. The name is depressing. The subject matter is depressing. The show itself is hilarious and bonkers and depressing. What the show says about us is depressing. The fact that it's on the Discovery Channel, which I swear used to be about, like, whales, and who invented pepper, is depressing. So, it is unsurprising that the call sheets for actors to portray women who didn't know they were pregnant in the show's Dramatic Re-enactments are very, very depressing:
The caveat that actors who have already been on the show should refrain from submitting again is fair, because you shouldn't HOG THE PAINFULLY STUPID PREGNANT WOMAN RE-ENACTOR LIMELIGHT, but I hope that they bend the rules for 15-day-old babies, because the talented young woman who played newborn baby Shar Howard would be perfect for the role of newborn baby Tiana Marie. (Gross. Barf. This baby bottle is filled with Brawndo!)

It’s on the Discovery channel because the women Discovered they were preggo. :p
LOL you’re just having post-partum depression. That’s why you find the show depressing. The show is terrible and stories are boring. Other than that, you need to get your hormones under control in order to get past your depression.
It sounds unbelievable, but 20 years or so ago, I was a grocery store cashier while going to college and a co-worker was pregnant but didn’t realize she was.
She was overweight, had digestive issues. She thought she had just gained weight and that “feeling” (the baby moving) in her tummy was just gas.
One day we worked the day shift together, she said she had bad cramps.
When I arrived at work the next morning there was a note on the time-clock announcing that “V” had given birth to a baby girl 3 hours earlier.
I felt bad about joking that “V” looks more pregnant than “L”. “L” knew she was pregnant.
Not knowing you are pregnant is a case of ignorance or denial. In “V”s case, I almost think it was ignorance. Almost. She said later that her cycle was never a 28 dayer, but really, if you miss more than 7 periods, see a doc.
That really happened to an ex-boyfriend of mine and his new girlfriend. She found out at 7 months. The story is she’s in the Navy and when she’s off ship she tends to gain 10-15 pounds because she’s not as active, and doesn’t have regular periods and was so busy she didn’t realize her period wasn’t coming.
Apparently it can happen…but being pregnant now for the 2nd time, it’s just so unbelievable that people don’t know!
Bwahahahahahaha! Brawndo! Because your body craves electrolytes!
