Soldier Lynette Pearce
Via The Daily Mail
The father of the frontline soldier who gave birth in Afghanistan claimed last night that his daughter had heaped shame on his family and the Army.
Maurice Wallace told of his fury that she had failed to tell her parents about the baby and that Army officials ‘could not be bothered’ to contact them.
Lance Bombardier Lynette Pearce, 28, who did not know she was pregnant, had spent months fighting the Taliban with the Royal Artillery when she unexpectedly went into labour.
Miss Pearce, who is originally from Fiji, gave birth to her son in a surgical theatre at Camp Bastion two days after complaining of severe abdominal cramps.
Mr Wallace, a police officer in Fiji, said his daughter had shown ‘great disrespect to the Army – and the Army has shown great disrespect to me and my family by their silence over this affair’.
He said he only learned yesterday that Miss Pearce was the soldier who had given birth on the frontline.
Going in to labour in a warzone while on the frontline is just DEEP.
Friends said Miss Pearce was surprised when she began putting on weight despite the gruelling training regime.
One said: ‘A baby was growing inside her, that was why she was putting on weight, but Lynette had no idea at the time. Now it all makes sense and everyone is so relieved.’
Putting on weight and no sign of a period is usually a sign of pregnancy. But Lynette claims she had no idea she was pregnant. This can happen but it is quite rare. Perhaps her body works differently….
As for her father, He needs to calm down and should now just focus on the welfare of his daughter (an adult) and grandson.
Good luck Lynette.

INTERESTING…. I’M NOT A WOMAN SO I WOULDN’T KNOW. BUT MAN…SHE REALLY HAD NO IDEA??? IS THAT REALLY POSSIBLE? BUT I HAVE HEARD THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE…
Its called a concealed pregancy. Whereby none of the so called typical side effects are present until baby is ready to show face or near birth.
Hi Moreno, Yes it is very possible. I don’t know the statistics but I have read a lot of this happening. Every pregnancy is different and all symptoms before and during pregnancy are different too. Sickness, absent periods, bigger breasts etc are common initial symptoms but women do NOT have to experience any or all of these to be pregnant. Don’t worry has nothing to do with being a man there are PLENTY of women who know nothing about this or believe this kind of thing actually happens.

There’s a woman I know due in less than 2 weeks and although she knows she’s pregnant she does NOT look it. I’m talking almost flat stomach! Like this woman, she is VERY athletic and think her stomach muscles may play a part in why she looks quite so small. Other things like position of the placenta can affect not feeling kicks too.
The father does need to chill out. How is she bringing shame to anyone? Women get pregnant, even while on the job everyday, he has misplaced loyalty. His daughter comes first before the state.
Maybe the girl wanted to stay working and not be dismissed from work.
