Went to the ER with stomach pain, diagnosed with a full-term pregnancy

An obese woman didn’t know she carried a baby to term:

“Usually you can tell if you’re pregnant, but with me, I couldn’t tell,” the 39-year-old Garden Grove resident said Thursday, pointing to her belly and explaining that, at about 420 pounds, she was so large that no one ““ including herself ““ could tell she had carried a baby to term.

Branum says she never had morning sickness and did not feel the baby kick, at least not until after doctors told her what was inside her womb. “If he kicked, I didn’t feel him kicking,” she said.
