D:!

I guess you can get pregnant from oral sex!

So long as you swallow and get stabbed in the stomach later, of course.

OMG that's how it happened? Somehow I was thinking the sperm got on the knife and when she was stabbed, it went into her uterus or whatever. LOL!!

I have the pdf to the original '88 published article btw, but still totally on the fence about this one.

Here's the text for those interested:

British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology ( ... )

Cool! Thanks for the article:)

An emergency lower segment caesarean section was performed under spinal anaesthesia and a live male infant weighing 2800g was born, with Apgar scores of 7 and 9 at 1 and 5 min, respectively. On exploration, through the nearly completely dilated cervix, it was found that the normal uterus ended in a 2 cm deep vagina and that the vagina did not exist more distally ( ... )

Published doesn't necessarily mean true however, and they could have missed a lot of potential factors.

But yeh, totally seconding Mythbusters. Gogogo.

The young mother, her family, and the likely father adapted themselves rapidly to the new situation and some cattle changed hands to prove that there were no hard feelings.

What.

Pretty impressive that she could land two boyfriends while having no vajayjay.

kaelstra February 10 2010, 21:07:03 UTC

She gives oral though, so not really. Not everyone is all about vaginal intercourse.

one4theroad February 10 2010, 21:38:04 UTC

There are plenty of gay men who have two boyfriends and no vajayjay :P

...Cringing at the idea of all of the menstrual blood building up, month after month.

I guess...it's a lucky thing that she managed to get pregnant? Baby > months of blood?

kaelstra February 10 2010, 21:07:34 UTC

Yeah I'm kind of curious about that one too-if she menstruates, where on earth does the blood go? Does it get reabsorbed?

madhatterpan February 10 2010, 21:10:28 UTC

They talk about it in the article briefly. Apparently, the blood would build up causing plenty of pain and potentially death after a while.

(You'd think she would have visited the doctor to see if something could be done about her little "skin dimple" to avoid the awful things they mentioned..)

leeneh February 10 2010, 22:07:24 UTC

My guess (as is also mentioned in the article) is that it was her first or second ovulation - she was only fifteen after all, and some of us don't bleed much at all - and that she got a... uh... vagina made after the birth of her son.
