Baby comes as shock
The mother didn't know she was pregnant until she had carried the fetus to full term.

By SCOTT MARTINDALE

ORANGE – April Branum went to her local emergency room Monday night complaining of stomach pain and emerged with the biggest shock of her life. She was pregnant with a full-term fetus.

Doctors, who discovered the baby when they took X-rays of her abdominal area, immediately sent Branum to UCI Medical Center in Orange for prenatal testing.

The fetus's lungs were fully developed, the heartbeat was strong, and no defects were detected. The baby was ready to be delivered.

Two days later, the first-time mother gave birth by C-section to a healthy, 7-pound, 7-ounce boy named Walter Scott Edwards III.

"Usually you can tell if you're pregnant, but with me, I couldn't tell," the 39-year-old Garden Grove resident said Thursday, pointing to her belly and explaining that, at about 420 pounds, she was so large that no one – including herself – could tell she had carried a baby to term.

What I don't get is, if she's that big, why is the baby so small? I mean, didn't she eat constantly at 420 pounds?

She probably did not eat as much as she used to, hoping not to gain more weight. This helped the baby receive a normal amount of nutrients. Or it could be in the baby's genes from his great-great-great ancestors.

Or it could be in the baby's genes from his great-great-great ancestors.At 420 lbs, the mother herself qualifies as "great-great-great."

How does a woman not know she's pregnant? I mean seriously....

HOW..............ahhhh nemmind!


You Know ya gotta say it. Go ahead. Let it all out. If ya keep it bottled up in side ya, you're gonna have a stroke.

I've known you too long to not know what you want to say, so go for it. Just think plesant thoughts of gorillas. Shamoo. Mr. Ed. Bill Clinton. Michael Jackson. Ted Kennedy. Need I go on?

Ma would have wanted it.:roar:

Condensed version.......wheelbarrow full of flour........wet spot.....nuff said!
(The guy still had to be some kinda acrobat though.)

The methodology involved in impregnating a 420-lb avoirdupois woman (and I assume artificial insemination was not used here) does leave one scratching one's noggin.

But then again, is it really any more difficult than imagining how Hillary Clinton got inseminated? Of course, if the lights were out, and her mouth were shut, and Bill (or whoever) had just "inhaled," perhaps the imagination could have taken care of whatever else was necessary to keep the action going.

Ok, that would work if you were looking for the ass end of a worm. Wait for the fart and a puff of flower, and you got it. But we're talking about a 400+ lb woman. Show me the wheelbarrow. Show me that much flour.

DeclinetoState: Lights out? Mouth shut? (never happen) SomeTHING had just inhaled? (stricnine). This wouldn't involve imagination, it would involve a nightmare.

I can't even imagine imagining this!

How's about rollin' her around on the floor at a bakery??

I think I know her (not in the biblical sense you understand) I think ive seen her several times riding a fat scooter in our local Wal-Mart.

You guys have been hanging around Wyatt Junker too long. :roar:

Some fat women have beautiful (or at least passably attractive) faces, which can distract one's thoughts, at least for a few minutes, from the excessive biomass present. April Branum doesn't appear to be one of those women, however.
