The Doctors cannot see my babies or baby they are there well am just praying for them it not easy l have read almost all corners. I can feel them play. I have the next appointment next month l will be seven months. Doctors are also not knowing what is happening.

Did you have a positive text Hunni or did any blood test check your hcg levels? I know in cryptic pregnancy they say it’s hard to discover and you can still bleed every month too that’s why it’s hard to detect! I hope you get some answers! X

You can find websites about unicorns doesn't mean it's real.

From a medical perspective cryptic pregnancies are people who Do not know they're pregnant till they give birth.

I've seen website talking about women being pregnant for several years etc ... sorry that's not real. If it was real someone would have published it in the lancet!!

I don't think I understand what a cryptic pregnancy is?

Some people claim they are pregnant but their tests and ultrasound remain negative... (till the end of pregnancy) and these pregnancies tend to last longer than 9 months,sometimes years! Of course there is no medical evidence for this, no medical papers no proper documented case reports.

That sounds really odd. I know not everything can be explained but seems like some people would be clinging to this is desperation. Not sure how ultrasound wouldn't pick it up....

Agreed... there are things yet to be discovered science does not know everything ... but an ultrasound will pick up a baby at 5weeks so how can you be 7 months and still no be picked up? And at 7 months why would you not have a big pregnant tummy?! Maybe just maybe because you are not pregnant, and as much as I feel sorry for such people as they are sometimes desperate it's an unhealthy thought process which shouldn't be encouraged

I wasn't being rude. I just don't understand it. Like I said, we don't know everything.

Are you saying you have a pregnant looking tummy (at 7 months I was pretty huge!) and they did an ultrasound and couldn't see a baby??

Maybe in that case you need to see a different doctor/ultrasonographer as even if you're not pregnant if your tummy is that big they should find the cause... however a baby at 7 months is pretty difficult to miss on ultrasound even I would find it.

A lot of websites give very wrong info!
