It probably happens a lot more often than folks think and is attributed to "colic" - it's just not widely known and most women aren't on guard against it.
You hear about the possibility, but then everyone says "oh, I did X and I was fine" so you think it's no big deal.
If I hadn't known about it, I wouldn't have felt as guilty as I did.
