00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stuff mom never told you?

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: From House to works dot Com. Hello and welcome to

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: the podcast. This is Molly and I'm Kristen. Kristen, you

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: could be pregnant and not even know it. Tell me that. God,

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: I think this is I don't want to say, a

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: woman's greatest fear, but you see it scary. You see

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: news stories pop up every now and then, and we

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: had an entire show about this phenomenon on TLC called

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know I was pregnant. But every now and

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: then you see the story about the woman who goes

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: to the hospital with indigestion and leaves with the baby.

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: And she had gone for the previous nine months without

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: knowing no idea that she was having a baby. And

15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: I'll admit that, Like, you know, people have written and

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: asked us about this phenomenon, like could this really happen?

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I was doing a little bit of

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: research and according to the BBC, um not knowing that

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: you're pregnant until the baby is in your arms is

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: more common than having triplets. What It's three times more common,

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: And there was an interview with them the producer of

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: this TLC show, and she says, every time one episode airs,

23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: they get just tons of letters about people that's happened to.

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: So part of my selfish reason for wanting to talk

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: about this, besides just creeping everyone else with the thought

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: that they might be pregnant, is I want to see

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: how many of our listeners this might have happened to.

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: Because if that's true, if it's three times more common

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: than triplets, and if every mention of it brings up

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: people saying this happened to me, surely there are people

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: out there who either had surprised babies, or they were

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: a surprise baby, or it happened to their best friend babies,

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: like I want to know, and we're going to try

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: to investigate the reasons why it seems crazy, because it

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: does seem like pregnancy can take over your whole body.

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: How you can go through those nine months without having

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: a clue that you got a little person growing in you.

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: And it is for all of these reasons that I

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: would like to subtitle this episode and this article ten

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: reasons you might not know you're pregnant. Ten ways to

41
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: scare every sexually active, not baby wanting person that you know. Yeah,

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: if you didn't already have enough fear about an unwanted pregnancy,

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: here we go. One one you didn't even know about.

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: How about body weight because you would assume that if

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: you got a bun cooking in the oven, you're gonna

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna gain some weight. But not every woman gains

47
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: weight in the same way. So yeah, some people they

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: put it all on in the tummy and it's like, oh,

49
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: baby on board. And some people just carry all that

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: weight in their hands. It's disgusting. But also also, let's say,

51
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: um that you don't think you're pregnant, and you start

52
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: a diet unknowingly, or you start going the gym a lot,

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh man, we're got it so hard,

54
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: and no matter how much I do it, I just

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: keep gaining weight. And you could be kind of like

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: an equilibrium. So um, yeah, I mean it just every

57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: woman gains weight differently. That's sort of how everything is

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna work. You've got ten reasons why this might happen,

59
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: but a lot of it happens to be just that

60
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: pregnancy is not a one size fits all or deal.

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: For instance, hallmark symptoms such as morning sickness might not happen,

62
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: might not often to you. Yeah, you might not have

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: all the mood swings, you might not have the food cravings,

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: and some of those symptoms can be attributed to other things.

65
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't think that you're pregnant, then

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: you might just think that you know, you're stressed, or

67
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: you're having indigestion or whatever. I mean, it's very easy

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: to attribute some of these. I mean, I don't know.

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: I've never been pregnant, so I don't know if it

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: is easy to attribute. But you know, this article that

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: we're citing by Maryan English that's on our site talks

72
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: about how once you have the mindset that you're not pregnant,

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: it's easy to excuse things that are happening in your body.

74
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's true whether you're pregnant or not. Know,

75
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: we've talked about plenty of diseases where you can just

76
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: write off the symptoms as a bad day and then

77
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: lo and behold, it's something else. And it just so

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: happens that this is one of the biggest ones that

79
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: people don't understand how it could happen. Now. I think

80
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: this next one is perhaps the most frightening. And I

81
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: just keep saying frightening guys, not because I hate babies,

82
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: but just in terms of got ready to have one? Yeah, like,

83
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's oh that's the baby of arms, and

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: I gotta take care of it. I don't know what

85
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: to do. How do you how do you change a diaper? Um? Periods? Yeah, okay,

86
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: that's you know you're pregnant. Oh your period stuffs tell

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: tale sign? Right? Not necessarily, women Pregnant women can continue

88
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: to experience period like bleeding or there are some women

89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: who all their lives have had a regular cycles to

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: the point where they might have been told, if you

91
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: want to have a baby, you're going to have to

92
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: go on fertility drugs because you're just you don't ovulate

93
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: at a regular on a regular basis. So these women

94
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: almost think that they can't get pregnant and then lo

95
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: and behold. You know, they think that it's not unusual

96
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: to go nine months without a period. Well, be whole.

97
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: There's a baby waiting at the end of it. And

98
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, this is also a good time to point out,

99
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: as we have in hopefully all of our podcasts to

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: deal with sex and contraceptives. There really isn't an absolutely

101
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: oneent lock type guaranteed that you sperm and ovum do

102
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: not meet and that and for instance, getting pregnant on

103
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: your period, it can happen. It can happen. So all

104
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: those things that people think, oh, you know, some people

105
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: just have a baby and they're nursing, and they think

106
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: that that can't get them pregnant. I think we talked

107
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: about that and pregnant part it can happen. But let's

108
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: say you think, oh, yeah, I've been using condoms and

109
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm on the pill, yeah, and I have an i

110
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: U D. You think you're covered so many baboos and

111
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: hopefully you're not doing all of that same time. I

112
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: don't know that I D and birth control pills are

113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: they're probably not going together. But you know, let's say

114
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: you are, you know, probably prepared, you are you covered

115
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: all your basis, you're above easy, but it can still happen,

116
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: still happen. So yeah, you you think that you're covered,

117
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: and then one behold it doesn't. And you know, but

118
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: people still say that those symptoms start popping up. But

119
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: it's just every single symptom can be kind of written off.

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: If you're not gaining weight in a certain way. Or

121
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: if you just think that you know, um, you know,

122
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: food craving, it's just a food crap time. Or if

123
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: you if you throw up, it could just be pretty poisoning,

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: like it's hangover. That's a whole different podcast. But here, okay, Molly,

125
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: but you got you got this little, this little thing

126
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: of a jig growing inside of you. What about kicks?

127
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: You know you wouldn't you feel something squirming around at

128
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: some point? But again, if you've already told yourself this

129
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: isn't a possibility, you'll just think it's something else. And

130
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: sometimes the baby can position itself inconvenient little bugger that

131
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: it is snaky babies. Babies are so sneaky it can

132
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: position itself so that you don't feel it as much.

133
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, some baby most babies do kick so that um,

134
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, you feel it. It's in the front of

135
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: your tummy. But depending on where the placenta is, depending

136
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: on how little boogers positioned himself, you can you cannot

137
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: see it. Hey, And here's a fun fact. Even if

138
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: a man has undergone a vasectomy, you can still get

139
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: pregnant because it might not be entirely successful. I'm actually

140
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: known of couples who have had post passect me. I

141
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: think it was postpassectony reversal. But nevertheless, with a lot

142
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: of there was work down there and a baby still came. Yes,

143
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: but that's it. But you know, the thing is, if

144
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: you do think that you are covered, I do think

145
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: that your brain can block out the possibility of the

146
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: fact that that's a baby. You know, I can see.

147
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: I can maybe can't see how you could get to

148
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: nine months that way, but I definitely see how you

149
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: can get pretty far along if you've told yourself this

150
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: is not a baby because you know, my partner had

151
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: to a sect me or I'm on birth control. I

152
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: can see I can get pretty far along thinking it's

153
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: not a baby. Well, especially if you are a a

154
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: woman in say my position, I can only speak for myself,

155
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: not really interested in having a baby right now and

156
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: a surprise oops. You know. I think that's why it's

157
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: important to really pay attention to your body and take

158
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: care of your body because maybe you don't wanna, um,

159
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, have a veta's hang out there for nine months. Well,

160
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: let's say you know, a woman has a scare and

161
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: she's like, oh, there could be a baby, let's take

162
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: a pregnancy test. She might get a false pregnancy test

163
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: and that can influence her thinking for the next you know,

164
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: four or five months. Pregnancy tests measure the amount of

165
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: a hormone called human choreonic ganatotrope in in your yurine,

166
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: and when the hCG level spike, it indicates that you're

167
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: probably prego, but not every woman. Again, experience is pregnancy

168
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: the same way, so those hormones don't show up at

169
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: the same time and all women. So you could take

170
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: a pregnancy test and get the negative and go on thinking, hey,

171
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm safe, and that's how you start to write off

172
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: I think some of those symptoms of the pregnancy test

173
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: said no. Then you can start to excuse things like, um,

174
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: you know morning sickness is food poisoning, tender breasts as

175
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: p m s. Yeah, I mean, you know, women's bodies

176
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: are so crazy. How many times have we said that

177
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: that it could be anything? So, what, though, is the

178
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: takeaway from all of this, because right now I feel

179
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: like we are kind of having some fun at our

180
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: sexually active listeners expense freaking them out. Well, I think

181
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: that you know, because women's bodies are so crazy. That's why.

182
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this before about how you know,

183
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: sometimes we'll hear things like in a regular cycle is normal,

184
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: or um, feeling awful around the time of your period

185
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: is normal, or just feeling awful in general, it's hormones,

186
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: you know. I mean people are easy. I think they're

187
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: quipped to write off women's health problems, and women are

188
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: less likely to take time out of their day to

189
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: go to the doctor and to figure out what's going on.

190
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: And you know, they just want to fight through this

191
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: bad of food poisoning and get on with it. And

192
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: so I think that the lesson here is to you know,

193
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: take some time for yourself because you can't get stress.

194
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: As another reason that was mentioned this article, Um, if

195
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: you're busy at work or busy with your family, you

196
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: don't have time for yourself to be like what's going on.

197
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: So it's more I think about taking some time out.

198
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Not to see that the women who eventually delivered a

199
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: baby without knowing it didn't take the time out for themselves.

200
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: But you know, going to the doctor regularly, checking in

201
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: on your sexual health, just you know, with yourself, like

202
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: what's going on here. And I'm not saying also that

203
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: the women who all of a sudden have the surprise

204
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: baby that that's a bad thing. I'm for some people

205
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: it might. I'm making comedic light of it. In my situation.

206
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: If you know, all of a sudden, my water broke

207
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: here in the studio, it would it would be uh,

208
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: it would ring your day a little bit. It would

209
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: be quite a shocker. You didn't wear the right pants

210
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: for that. UM don't know. My Jiggins could be able to.

211
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: And you know, the the article with um with the

212
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: TLC producer did say that you know, once the woman

213
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: had the baby, she was happy. You know, it's just

214
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: you like to think that's the case. You do have

215
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: nine months to prepare if you if you know it's coming.

216
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Sort of the difference. But um, yeah, we just kind

217
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: of wanted to say how common it was people and

218
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: what this is also from listener requests. They've asked us

219
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: to do things like this before, just because it is

220
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: sort of it is one of those pregnancy myth type

221
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: of things, similar to can you get pregnant on your period?

222
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: But just think about how often you know, it doesn't

223
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: have to be a pregnancy related symptom. But you know,

224
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: if you are a woman, think of how men do

225
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: this too. Think of how often you write off a

226
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: symptom is something else. And you know, one of the

227
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: big pushes in the health field right now is for

228
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: people not to write off migraines, are sun and headaches

229
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: as just a headache, because it could be a sign

230
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: of a stroke. And so I think in this um,

231
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: you know web md culture, you can find a disease

232
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: that you want to have versus one that you don't

233
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: want to have. So let's say you do google frequent vomiting.

234
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: You can convince yourself that it's food pisening versus pregnancy.

235
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: So it's sometimes we do mind over matter where our

236
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: bodies are concerned, and you should take time out and

237
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: not do that for a few times whenever you can.

238
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: So there you go, fun facts about your crazy roller

239
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: coaster body. And as I said, a selfish reason behind

240
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: this is I want those crazy Oh my gosh, I

241
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: went the hospital, came back with the baby story. So

242
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: if you have them, let us know. I wonder how

243
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: many times we said crazy in this episode. It was

244
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, I hope you all made a drinking

245
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: game out of that unless you're pregnant. All right. So

246
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: I've got an email here from Amanda, and this is

247
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: an old one, but I just decided to read it anyway.

248
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: This is in relation to our podcast on kissing, and

249
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: she writes, while listening to the episode on the History

250
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: of Kissing, I was interested to find out the correlation

251
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: between hand dominance and which way you tilt your head.

252
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: My fiance and I are both right handed, but always

253
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: tilt our heads to the left. While discussing this, we

254
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: realized that we were both left eye dominant. I don't

255
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: know how you discover that, but okay, despite being right handed.

256
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: I suppose then that maybe head tilt is not linked

257
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: to hand dominance, but I dominance. Just some food for thought,

258
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: So thank you, Amanda. Welly, would you have an email

259
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: you'd like to share? I have one hair from Sarah

260
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: and it's about nuns. Sarah writes, I went to a

261
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: Catholic all girls high school run by the Congregation of

262
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: Divine Providence. Believe it or not, we didn't have that

263
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: many nuns as the actual teachers in the school. They

264
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: mostly held faculty and support positions, so I only had

265
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: two nuns as teachers. The one that stands out though,

266
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: and one of my favorite teachers to date, with sister

267
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: Jane Ann Slater. She was a very hip sister who

268
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: told us about her days making beer in college and

269
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: happened to have a pH d in chemistry. She taught

270
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: my older sister and I was the first to recognized

271
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: me as Sarah, not my sister's sister, which of course

272
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: is the vane of younger siblings everywhere. I'll never forget

273
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: the day she was waving her hands in the air

274
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: talking about protons and electrons and how Adams worked. She

275
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: stopped in lecture, opped her hands her sides and said,

276
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: isn't got great? He created all of this. She was

277
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: such a dedicated teacher that she would stay as like

278
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: at seven pm to help you work out homework, provide

279
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: extra lessons, and go over miss test problems so you've

280
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: aced it next time. She has since left the high

281
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: school and serves as the head of the Order headquartered

282
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: at Our Lady of the Lake University here in San Antonio.

283
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: She was a wonderful educator and a real testament the

284

Speaker 1: good these ladies to communities nation and worldwide. There we
