US Navy sailor gives birth while on deployment

[AJSully421]

I have heard of a few cases where a woman had no idea that she was pregnant...

If you are sexually active, and you miss 8-9 periods in a row... you just might be pregnant.

I've heard of it also. I have a hard time believing someone can be so unaware and out of touch with their own body.

So I wonder - on the "Place of Birth" on this kid's passport, what'll it say? "On a boat somewhere"?

My Aunt didn't know she was pregnant until her water broke. She had 4 older children before the last one.

"Fleet Post Office" is the official address of ships at sea! Seriously though, I'd guess the place of birth will be listed as the ship's home port location.

Let me take a minute to put this all together so I can understand it....

1. You're a woman.
2. Somewhere along the line, you've been sexually active with a man. (Contrary to popular belief, you don't get pregnant from public toilet seats.)
3. You haven't had any menstrual activity for approximately 8 months, and that alone never lit warning sign in your head that something is not normal.
4. You chose to never go see a doctor about it.......you know......JUST in case it was a hormonal issue, or cancer, or [gasp!!!] a baby.
5. Conclusion: You're either a liar, or too stupid to be entrusted with motherhood.

I think you nailed it. More than likely, did not want commanding officers to know.

Ship not a boat. Submarines are referred to as boats.

ship left port in June, she was already preg. and shouldn't have been on board. As for not knowing....I don't understand how you can't tell the movements of the baby? how can you not know you are growing another human? that's just weird to me, but they've made several seasons of a TV show based on it.

She's stuck with her "I didn't know" story because Navy regs says she must report the pregnancy within two weeks of confirmation by medical care provider.

I bet she gets a "69" tattoo to signify her place of birth!
