I get what you're saying, but I just can't see how people wouldn't notice in the slightest, even just a little niggling thought in the back of their mind saying 'maybe'.

I mean, if you have irregular periods and then you have unprotected sex and suddenly you're craving food you haven't had cravings for before, it's likely to dawn on someone (even for a second) that there might be more to it than growing up.

Obviously everyone is different, when I was at school the PE teacher got pregnant and none of us knew until she gave birth! She knew, but because she was so sporty she gained barely any (noticeable) weight. I can see how that would be a problem!

Regarding the spotting/light bleeding - I've heard of this with some women,
but what if this is not normal for the woman? I've heard stories where the woman says "I didn't know I was pregnant" and then admits that her periods suddenly became irregular and lighter...

Obviously, if everything you say fits to someone (for example, a teenager has irregular and light periods on a regular basis and then has unprotected sex and they stay about the same, she is quite athletic and so doesn't gain much weight, and she has no strange cravings for some reason) then she would have absolutely no idea and probably will think she got away with not being safe, then panics and discards the baby wherever she is. Unfortunately, I must agree, trash cans are the most popular thing to find *anywhere*.

[[I'm not trying to prove your theories wrong btw, I do agree that people do silly things under great stress, that's human nature. I just find it hard to think of someone not being able to notice they are pregnant - I'm not in the slightest bit athletic and no matter how much I eat or exercise I manage to stay the same weight, and I have for about 3 years now, so I would probably be able to notice the weight of another human added to that. That amongst many other reasons. So for me it's hard to imagine, but I know it happens, and it seems to happen a LOT where I live]]
