thats assuming that she leaves the house
 
In the video on CNN, it clearly looks like she has most of her teeth. BTW, for those of you who saw the video, wasn't the father somewhat feminine. He looked like a pre-op trying to look masculine.
 
This is kinda gross. I wonder what kind of a mother she will make, and what kind of kid will be raised, with her eating habits?

If the father is also fat, wouldn't having sex be like a double jeopardy kind of thing?
 
This almost happened with a former co-worker. She didn't find out she was pregnant until she was about eight months along. She was pretty large, but not quite as obese as the woman in the article. Apparently they'd just figured she was barren, and had also stopped having her period a long time ago.
 
One of the readers comments on the linked page:

Without periods, she probably has Polycystic Ovarian Disease. It is a miracle she could concieve. I know I tried for years to have a child, but could not. I couldn't even ovulate with the help of fertility drugs. With PCOD, you have too much testosterone in your system and it battles the normal female hormones and causes weight gain that is practically impossible to loose. I've batttled this problem since jr. high. Once the hormone problems hit, I started gaining weight that I could not loose. I've gone one strick 1000 calorie diets and gained weight. It is the nature of the disease. I'm sorry that so many of you think being fat is funny. I promise, we'd be thin if we could, but with some of us, it isn't overeating, it's an acutal physical problem. There is actually a chance that now that she has had a successful pregnancy, her hormone levels will come back to normal and she'll be able to loose the weight and have more children. That's what my doctor told me when I was trying so many years ago. Godspeed to this blessed couple.

Im happy for her that she was able to have a child of her own after reading the entire story. I hope the best for them and their new family.
 
What's really shocking is that someone actually had sex with her!!! :shocked:

She lives in Garbage Grove...what a shocker.
 
It seems as though there is a case like this in the media every couple of years. I believe the last one I heard about involved the woman going to the bathroom and giving birth on the toilet. Apparently she thought her contractions were stomach cramps or something.
