After 10-mile run, woman gives birth to surprise baby

[jakeXT]

After a 10-mile training run, Trish Staine was in pain. Not post-training-run pain. Real, excruciating pain.

“I was yelling and screaming -- I thought I was dying,” says Staine, who was in training for Grandma’s Half Marathon in her hometown of Duluth, Minn. at the end of the month. Her family called an ambulance, and when they got to the hospital, they expected a diagnosis of a pinched nerve, a kidney stone, maybe a burst appendix, they told the Duluth News Tribune. But what the nurse treating Staine found was a fetal heartbeat.

“And I’m, like, looking around, like, no, I don’t believe it,” Staine told TODAY on Thursday. She says hadn’t missed any periods, she didn’t have a “baby belly” – and her husband, John, had had a vasectomy.

But despite all that, Staine soon delivered a healthy girl weighing 6 pounds, 6 ounces.

The Staines already have two biological children, ages 7 and 11, and two foster children, plus John’s three boys who are 17, 19 and 20.

1. What did she think happened to her period

during those 9-10 months?

2. eivdently she had her periods ---

“And I’m, like, looking around, like, no, I don’t believe it,” Staine told TODAY on Thursday. She says hadn’t missed any periods, she didn’t have a “baby belly” – and her husband, John, had had a vasectomy.

4. Oh, oh

Sounds like she's in trouble then.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. pretty much.

[GoCubsGo]

32. Not necessarily.

Vasectomies are not 100% fool-proof. These days, they plug, rather than cutting. Plugs can leak.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. true enough. gonna be a fun time. right.

7. Since I'm not a female,

can you explain to me how a woman doesn't miss any periods and still gives birth? Seriously, I'm confused.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. I can't explain it. I am just reading what she said. The whole story raises questions for me.

[LeftofObama]

9. Oh, OK.

I thought maybe it wasn't as out of the ordinary as it appeared to be and maybe someone else could enlighten me.

10. Having two uteri would work, but I don't know if it's the case

12. It's very rare, but it can happen.

When my mother was pregnant with me, she had irregular, very light periods. She was slender and didn't 'show'. She thought she was starting early menopause. It wasn't until the fifth month when the shoe dropped.

21. Some people "spot" when pregnant...

If she had always had light periods maybe it could have been timed to match her cycle but that is a big maybe...

30. Happens, rarely but it does...

[RILib]

18. lots of female runners

have few periods. Low body fat reduces hormones.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. yes.

[Bucky]

23. If the doctor doesn't tie off the vas deferens correctly... neutered dudes can still make babies

It's probably grounds for a refund, but I'm sure they make patients sign paperwork against malpractice for that sort of thing.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

25. another possibility. yes.

[pinboy3niner]

3. Immaculate deception?

[BainsBane]

5. DUzy!

[mokawanis]

17. Funniest post I've read today.

A real DUzy.

[Sanity Claws]

11. I knew a woman who had light periods during her pregnancy

She still bled but much lighter. Unlike that woman, she developed a belly and took a pregnancy test.

[tavernier]

13. I knew a woman who had twins!

My first husband's aunt had fraternal twins and never knew she was pregnant, nor did the rest of the family. She was short and not particularly obese. It was the talk of the town for twenty years... maybe still is.

[bluedigger]

14. This is why I quit running years ago.

You can't be too careful.

[nolabear]

15. Apparently she didn't run fast enough. SOMEBODY caught her.

[LiberalFighter]

27. Somebody fell into her while running?

[vanlassie]

16. OMG!

[Sheldon Cooper]

20. I am always astounded when I hear of women who give birth to surprise babies.

With both of my kids, I felt pregnant almost from the moment of conception, and it's simply inconceivable that a woman could go nine months and have NO CLUE.

[ballardgirl]

29. I agree

how could someone not feel the life inside of them, let alone the sore breasts? I do think runners have strange periods so that is maybe explainable, but otherwise, I just don't get it. Talk about not being aware of your own body.

22. WTF!

[Bucky]

24. If a man gets his balls snipped, the vas deferens can produce sperm.

If you think of the two big nacells on the Enterprise as the testicles, then the vas deferens is like that little phaser side room they showed on that one episode of Star Trek when Spock and that red shirt dude got hit with poisonous phaser fumes and only Spock survived and then Kirk made out with the red shirt's widow. Of course the fumes that come out of the "nacells" don't stink as bad

they're red... and throbbing

[In_The_Wind]

26. ... red ... throbbing ... balls

[azurnoir]

28. just call her baby surprise :)

[Moondog]

31. Yeah, right.

[struggle4progress]

34. This is exactly why I don't do that running thingie
