How can someone not know they are pregnant? This defies logic

Belinda Phipps, chief executive of the National Childbirth Trust, a British parenting charity, also suggested the soldier's demanding duties could explain why she either didn't know she was pregnant or attempted to ignore the signs.

Some people really stress out over there. And for some women the stress makes their period stop.
Some don't show much sign of being pregnant and only gain 15 lbs or so... Minor enough to assume that a change in life style and the stress added could cause the weight gain...

It happens. I know at least one girl that got sent home from tour knocked up.

Fair enough, but I think every sexually active female should monitor their menstrual cycle.

This is the part I like.
In a 2002 German survey of Berlin obstetric hospitals, researchers found that 40 per cent of women who didn't realize they were pregnant had seen doctors who also failed to spot the signs.

There is a whole show on TLC about this, "I didn't Know I was Pregnant".
