Is it Possible to Get Pregnant Unknowingly

 

Is it Possible to Be Pregnant And Not know? 

Short answer, yes.

It is very possible for a woman to not know she’s pregnant for even more than 6 months.

There have even been cases of women of different age groups who had no knowledge of their pregnancies until the day they put to birth. Most of these mothers said they gained a litttle weight and had their period regularly. 

Though, it is believed all women know when they are pregnant, there have been cases of women who had no clue that they were pregnant till they put to bed!! 

For example the case of a teenage girl who had no idea she was pregnant. She remained slim throughout her pregnancy and even had regular periods.

A 19 year old also claims she had no clue she was pregnant until she saw her baby’s head between her legs. She felt serious stomach cramps and took Panadol. She was home alone when the pain persisted and was forced to give birth to the baby in the kitchen using home scissors. 

Doctors explained to this Australian woman that the reason she might not have know she was pregnant was because her baby was facing onwards towards her spine. The 25 year old new mom even went on holiday to Singapore a week before she put to bed and had even ridden on the roller coaster at the country famous Universal Studios. She said even though she felt fatigued she put it down to her long working hours and drank coffee to help with her tiredness. 

The physiology and psychology of concealed and cryptic pregnancy are different and both are complex. However, they may be difficult to distinguish in these rare and tragic cases. There are many uncertainties surrounding childbirth and even today many, superficially straightforward, aspects of pregnancy and birth remain poorly understood. While we may continue to read these news reports with some disbelief, we must ensure that we respect and protect the women behind these tales of the unexpected.
