Palin's baby?!

Posted: Sun, Aug 31 2008, 8:58 pm Post subject: re: Palin's baby?!

She was in contact with her doctor the entire time. She also went to give birth where she felt most comfortable, in the city where she had been mayor, and probably birthed her other children. I've heard how big hospitals (like Mamonidies) talk about Down's babies and trust me especially in the case of a special needs babies I would certainly want to give birth with professionals I trusted over a random big name hospital.

I also do not think her daughter looks pregnant and from looking at Palin's before photos (she is very thin) and then seeing her in her winter coat I can totally see her gaining a belly. Her middle is rather obstructed in most of the photos. As for her daughter being pulled out of school for mono ranging from 5-8 months who knows if she had mono or something else, but I don't think she was pregnant.

Oh and I heard she took her baby to work with her in a sling and her husband came too. Not quite my style, but much different than leaving a SN baby at home.

Umm, what airline would even allow her to go on the plane? Confused

Hmm. Just read that she has been pumping (not sure if she nurses too or maybe he has latch issues)

Not sure what to make of this story. It sure gives it a different twist. Nothing is definite yet, and it's all just wild rumors at this point.
A couple of things. First, no proof that the daughter was pregnant in any of the pics. So she has a belly...
There could've been complications in pregnancy where the baby was small, or low fluid, which she wouldnt seem extremely pregnant - especially in a non-healthy pregnancy. Regarding going back to work after three day-- um not sure. But I felt pretty good after certain pregnancies and probably could've gone back to work after a week. The traveling part -- she wasnt due for another month, so if there was no indication of preterm labor, why shouldn't she travel?
I would love to hear her come out with a statement - this is quite interesting and I'm very very interested in the outcome of any real investigation IF there is one.
On the other hand, if it really is her daughter's, she's proved that she's anti-abortion, and did a very noble thing by adopting a special needs grandchild. On the other hand, coming out with the truth would be nice although, who says she lied about these facts. Did she say it, or others around her/?

I'm torn between finding these wild speculations somewhat credible and thinking that it takes an incredible shameless twisted mind to even come up with the theory.

That said, your photo and video evidence below:

mugsisme, I know people who got married young and have their first baby with Down Syndrome. It's not a "huge improbability." I don't think it's something that goes up in risk every year of a woman's life. It's not like a 25 year old has more of a chance to have a DS baby than a 16 year old. I think that the risk goes up after a certain age and that's it. It doesn't steadily rise.

Gamzu, it is a risk that goes up as you age.

I am not saying it doesn't happen. But don't most of our girls get married closer to 20? I know some of the chassidim have girls that get married at 17. I am not saying it doesn't happen. But please show me a stastic or an article about a teenager with a baby with ds.

I am not saying I believe this story or not. Just some of my own family stuff. My dd 17 tends to carry any extra weight in her tummy. She does not have much, but even if its a few pounds, literaly a few, she will joke about what month she is in. She is prob the most attentive of my kids to my son with ds. She is usually the one holding him especially if he is sleeping. He was my over 40 baby, my easiest pg, & because I was diabetic with my pg right before, I started the diabetic diet right away & only gained 8 lbs. I didn't tell people until the end of my 6th month & even family were surprised. When my water broke, just a trickle, I called my dr & we discussed how much I should be feeling the baby move, clear fluid... Hours later when he called looking for me I was out shopping with dh. True I did not nor would I have ventured more than a few minutes from home/hospital, but I certainly didn't want to sit around the hospital doing nothing. I went into labor about 23 hours after my water broke & he is k"h my 8th. Also I was just about starting my 9th month & went away with dh for 4 days to Arizona for a last vacation , 4 hour plane ride, with dr permission, & 2 names of drs in Scottsdale, just in case, no flights home with water broken for me. So , in short much of her story could be plausible except the long flight, imho.

That sounds awful mugsisme! If that isn't an attempt at genetic cleansing I don't know what is.

It's a wild story and I doubt it's true. Wouldn't the "vetting" process have found that out? If so, would they (RNC) go along with the sham just because it is poitically beneficial for her to be the parent of a down's syndrome child?

Whatever the facts are, I think that trying to prove whateve the story is with the pictures is silly. I mean, comeon, hasn't anyone seen teenagers with stomachs like that? And hasn't anyone seen women in their 5th and 6th months who barely look pregnant at all?

Where is that baby's birth certificate anyway???

I can't believe how gullible some women are on imamother.
This conspiracy theory was started by liberals in the leftist media who hate the Republicans and don't want to see them in the white house for the next four years. Instead of attacking her for something of value, they are lowering themselves and attacking both her and her daughter on something that has zero basis. Her daughter's belly looks a little big? Well maybe she ate too much pizza. I mean, come on, do you believe everything the leftist media, who clearly has an agenda, feeds you? They don't want McCain and Palin elected and will do anything possible to prevent it, even spreading nasty rumors like this one.
There are pictures out there of Sarah Palin clearly pregnant. As far as the rumor that she continued giving a speech when her waters were breaking, that's also a low blow from the liberals. Sarah was in touch with her OB after her waters broke. If her OB ok'd it then that's that. Keep in mind this was her fifth child; she's not a newbie as far as what labor entails.

If she was having a special needs baby a month early I can understrand why she wanted to deliver it close to home and not in a faraway state, in case the baby would stsay in the hospital for a while! what would she do - camp out for weeks in texas? but it was still irresponsible since she couldve had the baby on the plane!!!!

a plane to alaska takes 12 hours?

if the daughter was pregnant and hiding it, she would not wear something so tight. she would wear baggy clothes. this is all crazy!!!!
