How I Got Pregnant for Sarah

Category: Family and Everyday Life | Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 1:59 pm

We were going to church one night, it was raining, and I fell down the steps. I hurt my ankle pretty bad, but was hardheaded and would not go to the doctor. The pain started to move up my leg into the knee and then the hip. Richard said, "Enough is enough, you are going to the doctor." Well I ended up at the emergency room. During the whole process they did a routine urinalysis. When the doctor finally got around to me he said, "Mrs. Bowlin, we cannot xray you." "Why.", I ask. Doctor, "Because you are pregnant." Me, "But doctor, I didn't know you could get pregnant falling down the steps." He laughs and says, "Mam, I don't think that is how it happened." It took us 11 years to get pregnant for Regina, so imagine our surprise when 7 years laterat the age of 37, I am pregnant again.

Good thing my church sits at ground level! Man, and I thought I just wanted to avoid sidewalk cracks, will have to add steps to my list, right under black cats!

I once heard of a woman who glanced at a church step and ended up with triplets.

Great story Sharon!

I am glad everyone now knows how not to get pregnant. Actually, it was the steps at my house, not the church. So ladies, make sure you dont' fall down any steps, church or otherwise.
