Cryptic pregnancy: ‘I didn’t know I was having a baby’ | BBC News

What is a cryptic pregnancy?

When Tawana, 21, was admitted to hospital with chest pains, she had no idea she was eight months pregnant. She had the contraceptive implant and even had a negative pregnancy test.

She was experiencing a cryptic pregnancy. A paper published in the British Medical Journal in 2002 estimated that it occurs in about one in every 2,500 pregnancies – suggesting about 320 cases in the UK every year.

Tawana joins Jonelle and Kirsty in the Reliable Sauce studio, along with her partner Emmanuel and their one-year-old baby River, to share their story.

How often do cyptic pregnancies happen? And who is most likely to experience them? BBC health reporter Elena Bailey explains.
