I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant is an American documentary television series that aired on Discovery Fit & Health and TLC. The series debuted on May 26, 2009 on Discovery Fit & Health. Each episode features two or more women who were unaware that they were pregnant until they went into labor.
Frequent reasons for the subjects not recognizing pregnancy include:
- Mistaking the symptoms for another condition or illness.
- Believing they were infertile, and thus not considering pregnancy a possible cause of symptoms.
- Not having any of the "traditional" symptoms (weight gain, extended abdomen, feeling of movement in stomach, morning sickness, unusual food cravings).
- Assuming their birth control methods were 100% effective.
- Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy being misinterpreted as a period.
- False negative pregnancy tests.
