Ok, that was pretty much my response to my conversation this afternoon with the Rouse's checkout girl:
Rouses girl: I just found out I'm 34 weeks pregnant, and I didn't know it...
Me: smiling politely (thinking , how far along did you think you were?)
RG: ...and I just found out TODAY
Me: NO WAY!! How in the WORLD did you NOT know you were 8 1/2 months pregnant!!?
RG: Well, I didn't have any cravings like I did with my first two kids...
Me: You mean, you've been pregnant TWICE, and ya still didn't know!?! (silently thinking, "cravings" were you number one symptom to "look for", not the probably 5 pound or so baby (at this point) kicking you in your ribs)
At this point, I am probably was definitely staring unpolitely slack jawed at her! I mean, I've been pregnant (obviously) and at that point you definitely feel the baby move, and should SEE the baby move! This girl was not overweight, and should have definitely been feeling her baby MOVE and KICK!
She went on to tell me, she thought the movement was "gas" and she literally had NO symptoms, and had only gained about 10 pounds in the last few months (where she gained 50-60 with her first two pregnancies). At this point, I was really thinking this girl was CRAZY, but to give her the benefit of the doubt, the girl did NOT look pregnant (much less 3 weeks from being full term), AT ALL!
