Ok just out of sheer curiosity (not pregnant yet), I have a question for the pregnant PS'ers.....
I was watching TLC and there was the show (or maybe documentary, not sure if its a series or not) called "I Didnt Know I Was Pregant". It's about woman who claim they had no idea they were pregnant untill the baby came out while they were sitting on a toilet and stuff like that (i think you have to know, maybe its denial?)
Anyway despite not gaining much weight and not having any sickness, the biggest thing was the fact that they "got their periods" which according to doctors, was just spotting typical during pregnancy.
So my question is, is "spotting" heavy? Like heavy enough to be mistaken for the flow of a real period? I always assumed it was just as it sounds "spotting" so light spots here and there. I think most women use their period as a gage, like 'im not pregnant' and when they dont get it the first thing they think of is pregnancy. So if spotting is really heavy, then maybe it is possible many women assume they arent pregant because of it?
Just curious....thanks!
