A Nigerian lady has shared her experience of a cryptic pregnancy, shedding light on the situation of being unaware of pregnancy until late-term or even during labour. The lady, who initially believed she was experiencing period cramps, delivered a baby without prior knowledge of her pregnancy. In a video that has since gone viral, the lady recounts her journey to the hospital, thinking she was merely dealing with menstrual cramps.
To her utter surprise, she found herself giving birth, completely unaware of her pregnancy until that pivotal moment. The video sparked a wave of celebration for the new mother, with many expressing amazement at the rare occurrence.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, cryptic pregnancy occurs “when individuals are unaware of their pregnancy due to factors such as irregular periods, a lack of knowledge about common pregnancy signs, or even receiving false-negative results on pregnancy tests.” Elaborating on this, Medical News Today emphasized that in cryptic pregnancies,” individuals may remain oblivious to their condition until the late trimester or even during labour. “Being unaware of pregnancy may mean a person does not receive adequate care or make healthful lifestyle adjustments. Both of these factors can lead to complications in fetal development.” Netizens Reactions… herealqueen_debbie said; “Cryptic pregnancy pls visit my frnds.” She’sAsia said: “@Princess Ella cryptic pregnancy may be real but they can’t tell me they didn’t know anything before.
