An Unbelievable Event
It’s not surprising that a full-term baby being undetected until delivery can be hard to believe. After being looked at in the hospital, it was later discovered that Erin had undergone a ‘cryptic’ pregnancy, which not many people know exists.
An Unbelievable Event
A Cryptic Pregnancy
Many people aren’t aware of what a cryptic pregnancy is. This can be described as a pregnancy that all conventional methods of identifying a pregnancy fail. One study shows that one in 2,50 women don’t know that they’re carrying a child until giving birth.
A Cryptic Pregnancy
The Labor Process
Many medical experts have said that cryptic pregnancies generally go undiscovered until the mother is 20 weeks pregnant. However, some women can learn that they’re pregnant when the baby is actually being delivered into the world. This is what happened with Erin.
The Labor Process
No Indicators
Unlike with a regular pregnancy, cryptic pregnancies are extremely hard to come by. However, it does happen more often than many doctors believe, as it’s challenging to identify if someone is undergoing a cryptic pregnancy. This is these women don’t experience the typical pregnancy symptoms.
No Indicators
The Risks
There are some evident risks that come with cryptic pregnancies. One of these is that the babies are generally underweight from a lack of prenatal care. This negatively impacts the baby’s development. However, this wasn’t the case for Isla, as she was perfectly healthy.
The Risks
Even More
Erin isn’t the first woman to undergo a cryptic pregnancy, and she likely isn’t the last. A woman from the US had a very similar situation in 2015. Her story is something that has shocked those who have heard it.

The Factors

More Reasons
Stress and denial can also be a factor in a cryptic pregnancy. However, this is more complicated as some pregnancy tests can also show a false negative. This could be from taking the test too early or using diluted urine.
