I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant

I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant was an American documentary television series on Discovery Fit & Health and TLC. The series debuted on May 26, 2009 on Discovery Fit & Health.^[1] Each episode usually features two or more women who were unaware that they were pregnant until they went into labor.

Generally, the subjects' reasons for not recognizing pregnancy include:

• Mistaking the symptoms for some other condition.
• 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

The final episode aired on October 19, 2011.^[4]
