This happened to a friend of mine. She gained no weight. Felt generally not well for a few weeks, but has an irrational fear of doctors, so convinced herself she just had a persistent stomach bug.
One day she fainted walking out of class and awoke 24 hours later in the hospital with an incision in her lower abdomen from the emergency C-section and a baby girl. She had been about 32 weeks pregnant, with an ectopic pregnacy. According to her father, her first words when she woke up and the nurse kept babbling how the baby was going to be okay and not to worry was "What the fuck are you talking about?"
The father had been a short, crappy relationship and was nowhere to be found. She had to drop out of here doctoral program and move in with her parents for a year. Luckily, she was able to get her shit back together pretty quickly, all things considered, and finished her degree only about a year late.
