    I was more getting at the phrasing of WORST. POLL. EVER.

    But what you said makes sense too.

    Why are you wasting time here then? Go break the story. I mean, you have all the evidence. Print that shit.

    Shouldn't be hard, should it?

    K, I am a mom, so I'm assuming I'm allowed to post on this thread? [/dripping with sarcasm]

    Back when I was pregnant with Rosebud, another woman at work was also pregnant. She was due about the same time I was. While I looked nine months pregnant about a week after conception, she never did look pregnant.

    Ever.

    All women are different and each pregnancy is different. My pregnancies were close and very different. I came very close to not making it with one of them.

    A few years back, a neighbor down the road - very athletic - was pregnant with her third child. None of us knew she was pregnant, then one day she's carting a baby around.

    Then she probably stole the baby. :p

    Kid's 10 now, one of those kids who looks just like his mom and his dad.

    Sorry, wasn't stolen. :p :D

    We'll keep Dara Torres in abeyance before I consider that closed. Wait till she breaks it off with her endocronoligist.... partner.
     
  7. You tried to establish that she was cheating just because she broke records after having children. You were thoroughly beaten for that hypothesis based on nothing but your cluelessness when it comes to pregnancy.

    And there you have it.

    A testimony that addresses my question, from a truly unimpeachable source on this board.

    So, now at least, I can allow for the possibility it's true.

    Still.... no pun intended, but something is hitting my nose-y that ain't a smellin' too rosy.

    There still isn't a single post on that thread that successfully disputed my contention. Plus, there were posts from a couple of women who found her feats and the timing VERY suspicious.

    Like I said... in abeyance.
     
  10. I think she doped, but as I said on that thread, my suspicion is based on her age. Age has much more of an impact on a body than pregnancy ever will.

    "This from a guy who debated which was going to be the bigger movie: E.T., or Krush Groove?"

    "Hey, fuck you man, because time's gonna tell on that one."

    "abeyance," indeed.

    Another mom chiming in.

    I began showing almost immediately. Could not wear my jeans after 2 months. My belly was enormous by the time I went to the hospital to deliver. Granted, at the time I was very tiny (5'1" and 95 pounds prior to being pregnant.) I gained 40 pounds over the course of the nine months, but was still "all baby" at delivery.

    Every woman carries a baby and the weight very differently.
