*Rumors and Speculation* Did Sarah Palin fake her last pregnancy?

[NicoleWasHere]

Odd question... but is anyone able to tell if Sarah Palin's breasts are fuller, as a result of the pregnancy? If anyone's even wanting to glance?

She's clearly stated that she isn't in favor of abortion, EVER, including in cases of rape and incest.

I don't think that is what is going on here but one never knows.

^ Abortion for rape or incest IS a serious thing. If I were raped by a stranger, or a family member, and got pregnant, I wouldn't keep the baby. I'm sorry. I wouldn't force my child to keep it, either. That's cruel and unusual.

Anyway, I heard on the news that Palin mentions juggling her "blackberry and breast pump" since she's still nursing Trig. IF she's breast-feeding, wouldn't that put to rest whose baby this is? You can't nurse if you haven't been pregnant, right?

Yes, you can. It takes a lot of work (pumping and latching constantly), but it has and can be done. In never pregnant women (and some men) it's called induced lactation. In a woman who has previously been pregnant it's called relactation. Relactation is easier than induced lactation since your body has produced milk before.

There are some drugs that can be taken to help increase milk supply. I *think* they can be risky, but a few doctors will prescribe them.

First: given the shape of the oldest daughter's body in the most
suspicious photo, I can understand the rumors of her being the
real mother of the "fifth child", enhanced by the "mother's"
(Palin senior) crazy behavior while "in labor". However I think
that speculating about the baby being the result of incest is
just a bridge too far. She's a 17 year old kid and I'm sure it is
hard to live up to your parent's idea of abstinence, so if it's
her kid, then I do really think she couldn't wait and had an
"accident", and that her pro-life parents made her have the
baby.

And yes, her pro-life stance then made Palin decide her
daughter should have the child, because she is so pro-life,
that she is even against abortion after rape or an incestuous
relationship, but again: I don't think we should take the rumor
that far, that's just too much speculation, IMHO.

Yes, that. From what I heard about Palin in the last day, I find her politics repugnant, but this level of tawdry speculation would be too much even for a celeb imo.

All babies deserve a chance to live. They're not demon spawns that make them somehow different than those of whom were conceived a different way. I should know...

[Folieadeux]

I'm pretty much 80% convinced this isn't Sarah Palin's child.

Such a stupid, vacous woman. How could you let your own agenda and political stances get in the way of your love for your daughter? You can't tell me she did this for her daughter - she did this for herself. These stories always end with heartache on the child's behalf. I'm assuming the daughter agreed to this, but to have your pregnancy and your child become invalid and nonexistent but still live in the same house... it must be just awful.

[Little Wombat]

In this day and age, I just don't get the cover-up behavior. It would've been a well-respected decision if she had just said publicly that her daughter had become pregnant and that she and her husband were going to raise the child as their own.

This cover up of saying she's suddenly pregnant once she finds out from her daughter and then pretending she was in labor when she flew home from TX just to time her story right for the birth is RIDICULOUS!

I just want a major news network to pick up on this. SOON!

Well, although I'm certainly not defending the woman, and things
surrounding the birth ARE suspicious to say the least, it STILL is
only speculation that the child is actually her daughter's.
But even if it IS Palin senior's own child, there's still plenty of stuff
to hold her accountable for, to begin with the not informing of her
staff about the pregnancy; not handling affairs (re-scheduling,
handing over responsibilities temporarily) BEFORE the birth;
giving a speech AFTER losing amniotic fluid; boarding a public
plane while in labor and not informing the flight crew; being
back on the job THREE DAYS AFTER GIVING BIRTH; taking
on an even MORE demanding job FOUR MONTHS AFTER
GIVING BIRTH to a special needs child......

KING! This is going too far. Lots of older Mothers have Down Syndrome babies-without INCEST thank you!
This woman doesn't seem to put up with much and she moose hunts. She would have pulled a Dick Chaney.

Agreed. Just goes to show you that sometimes, just sometimes, tell the truth and it's "not so bad".

[louiswinthorpe111]

Now, the counterpoints are that:

-She may not have been showing the pregnancy, despite her trim and slim frame, because of the low birthweight of infants with Downs Syndrome.

But the child WASN'T a low birth weight child. He was 6lbs at a month early, which would put him to be 8-9 lbs at full term. I could see if he was born at 4lbs, but 6lbs? Even this argument is not plausible.

I also don't think there's any truth of the incest idea. That is taking this rumor a little too far...

[Mariesoleil]

^^ Her daughter was out of school with Mono?
