Dumbest Person Ever? Pregnant Woman Gives Birth on Rollercoaster

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

We're not saying she's dumb because she gave birth following a rollercoaster ride; we're not even going to call her the dumbest person of 2008 for going on a rollercoaster ride while pregnant.

Nope-- we're going to call her the dumbest person of the year for not even knowing she was pregnant... and it gets zanier right quick.

Her 22-year-old boyfriend didn't figure out she was pregnant either. Usually, when you hear about these nutso's, you learn that the mother is religious, very conservative, has not had proper sex ed classes, and ends up nearly dying in childbirth. Not so in this case-- this is a 21-year-old woman working in a bar (far different from our previous story about the conservative Muslim working as cocktail waitress, also in England), a worldly type who had a boyfriend who presumably saw her naked in her ballooned-up form, and may also have been properly educated in the birds and bees.

We also have to ask: did her water not break? What happened to her periods? Didn't the baby ever kick? Didn't anyone else look at her belly and say, "You're not fat, you're pregnant?" And worst of all, considering she was working late nights in a bar, was she boozing it up during the pregnancy? So many questions... the answers for which the silly Telegraph is not revealing. We'll have to send one of our English readers after her for comment...

The Dreaded Rhubarb said:

It is actually perfectly possible for a pregnant woman to continue having periods (or at least bleeding and cramps) that conceal the pregnancy and also to not gain in size or weight to a degree that wouldn't seem to be just standard weight gain. If you're still having periods and only gain about ten pounds you're just going to put your swollen ankles down to water retention. Waters breaking doesn't happen until childbirth is under way and probably came as rather a surprise.
