As such concealed pregnancy could be “externally and internally mediated”, says Tighe, one response was to cope by avoidance. “They might get this awareness of ‘Could I be pregnant?’, but they shut it down because a pregnancy, in their current life circumstances, is a really major crisis.”

Given the link, she eschews the term “cryptic pregnancy” in favour of the broader catch-all “denied pregnancy”, which takes in the possibility of both conscious and subconscious rejection (although she considers the former far more common).

In this particular case, sounds like the woman probably didn't want to think about the possibility of being knocked up by the guy she just broke up with, so any thoughts about pregnancy being the cause of a sour stomach or that occasional flutter in her pelvis were immediately blocked out. I'm also guessing she never went to a doctor the entire time she was pregnant - I know the poking and prodding of the abdomen is a normal part of almost any office visit and I'm sure a doctor would have felt a hard/enlarged pregnant uterus.

In this lady's case, sounds to me like she was just too damn busy to notice the changes in her body. Working 60+ hours a week means you're not gonna be looking after yourself, though that photo of her at 7ish months gestation showing absolutely no belly bloat is pretty scary. It's not like she's hiding a pregnant gut under 400 pounds of fat either, she looks like a perfectly normal size and I have no idea where this alleged fetus is hiding! I have heard that it's possible to not show if the fetus implants in the back of the uterus rather than the front.
