I just don't get it?

Since Friday when Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain's VP pick, a lot has come out about this virtually unknown Governor of Alaska. But the one thing that gets me the most is her suspicious pregnancy, announcement of the pregnancy, labor story, and really everything that went along with her mysterious fifth child.

Most women, senators, Governors, Celebrities, and people in the spotlight feel the need to announce their pregnancy long before the 6-7 month mark rolls around. I just don't understand why it was such a big secret for a outspoken, pro life, Governor not to tell anyone till well into her Third Trimester.

Why get on a plane and fly over 8 hours to give a speech when you are in your last month of pregnancy with a child you know will need special medical care at birth? It is a very rare occasion where an OB/GYN will allow a patient to jet set across the country for such a big and draining event that close to delivery.

Then to actually leak amniotic fluid the morning of your speech, call your OB/GYN and have them agree to go ahead and continue your plans, knowing you are in premature labor?
Or what about after that speech is over, calling your OB/GYN for the OK to fly over 8 hours when it is a very large possibility you will give birth to a premature, special needs child while on this flight?

It just doesn't make sense.
As a mother, who has been through it, I just don't see it adding up.
This is not a personal attack, it is just me being confused as hell wondering what the big mystery to this story is that hasn't come out yet. Because with such random, "off", and suspicious circumstances surrounding this, it will only be so long before the truth will need to come out in an attempt to save the McCain Campaign.

Sorry John McCain, but trying to push the gender card did nothing but put a nail in your campaign coffin.

*EDIT UPDATE* Less than 5 minutes after this was posted, it was confirmed that Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin's oldest daughter is currently pregnant at the age of 17. She will "keep the baby" (of course because that is what pro life parents force their children to believe is right, and do) and marry the boy who knocked her up. While it would be close, Trigg Palin could STILL be the son of Bristol Palin since according to her mother Sarah, Bristol is 5 months pregnant.
Obviously Sarah Palin's first priority is not the truth.
Obviously her backing of abstinence only education is not working in the Alaska School System if her 17 year old child is having a child herself.
Obviously there is a problem in the household if this 17 year old child was able to get pregnant.
