My pregnant sister (even before she was pregnant) is OBSESSED with that show. (Or one of them). It seems that most of them think that they can't get pregnant so they assume they are not. A few are very obese and have wildly irregular menstrual cycles.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My dog. They showed the trailer for Sherlock Holmes during V. What cracktastic and slashy goodness. Film, TV, and book purists alike must be outraged. I can't wait.

You'd have to have pretty erratic periods to not notice you weren't having them. Then again, for the past few years mine have been close to non-existent (thank you, Mirena) so I should put myself in that category.
Still.

I dunno. If they come every three, four, five, nine, twelve weeks you might lose track of the last time you had one.
Mine are pretty regular but I still think, "Didn't this JUST happen? No, I guess my cousin's wedding/that concert/the trip to the waterpark WAS a month ago..."
If I can lose track of that I can see losing track of "Was that three months ago? Or five? Didn't I have a light one in March?" to the point where, lo and behold, nine months have gone by.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Mine were erratic. But I was paranoid. I might ignore one, but not two missed periods if I was having Teh Sex.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I should think more times before I type when it's past my bedtime. Nothing to see here.

Some women carry on having pretty regular light bleeding despite being pregnant, I believe.
Still, I can't imagine the amount of denial involved in not registering the baby's movements.

Personally, I've always been deeply paranoid about an accidental pregnancy. It's amazing to me that someone wouldn't know.

I guess it's hard for me to think outside the very physical memories I have of being hugely pregnant and to imagine a pregnancy in which all the symptoms were muted and subtle enough that you might not notice them. I mean, sure, the first 4 months or so I could see zipping by. Maybe even 5 months. It's the full term part that throws me.
