Ever heard of that word before, No? Me either, until few days ago, I got a WhatsApp message from a friend of mine, who has constantly been having one health issues, she's always complaining about how her stomach pains her, I have always been worried about her, so whenever this complains comes I do ask her to go for test which she does, but the pain always remains until towards late last year, when she said the pain has increased a lot, I asked her to come over since she has been on drugs prescribed by a doctor and the pain isn't going away, so she came over, you know we Nigerian believe in herbs, so we did some homemade herbs which she took and it calmed her a bit only , she called sometimes in may that the pain came back, I was like okay go to the hospital again and run some test lets know what's happening , she did , she even took a photo of the test result for me to see, the doctor told her  she has a low blood level and that she needs to eat  of vegetables and drink plenty water for the pain to go away, she has been doing so ,only for her to call me about a week ago that she was rushed to their school hospital,  holding the stomach, she said she's in a diet that's why she he didn't eat that morning ,and i was like maybe its because you were hungry that's why you fell dizzy, then she said the doctor conducted a scan on her since she was still complaining of the stomach pain, there she got the shock of her life, 😲 she's 31weeks and 5dats pregnant, so all this while she has been pregnant without knowing.

  Its what is called a cryptic pregnancy, ever heard of it before? No? Me too  ,been 8months gone without any knowledge whatsoever, mehn that's sick and wonderful at the same time.😲💕

 Google definition of a cryptic pregnancy

>A cryptic pregnancy, also called a stealth pregnancy, is a pregnancy that conventional medical testing methods may fail to detect.

Even after all the test she has done, to know what has been happening to her, none ever brought out a chance of pregnancy,isn't God wonderful, this is what I call been caught unaware, Have you ever heard of a person been pregnant and not knowing for months, hmmm?.

But I wonder, when I was pregnant with my first I didn't know until I was 5 months gone, that one is understandable, and normal, because I started showing around that time, but this friend of mine still has her body intact her face the same and nothing changes about her, while me at 6months I was already looking like a hippo😂. Well I'm happy for her, though she's still a student, but I am happy still.

Do you think you have heard of this before?
