It sounds like something out of a sci-fi-slash-horror movie, but it’s a real thing.
on social media. And just like everything pregnancy-related, it's equal parts wild, hilarious, heartfelt, and genuinely terrifying.
There are actually several reasons why someone might not know or be able to acknowledge they are pregnant, says Tanouye. "While denial could be a factor, there are many normal physiologic variations that are more common. Some people may not experience many pregnancy symptoms, or the ones they have could be mild, or they may attribute symptoms to a different medical concern."
Tanouye notes that even typical fetal movement can be hard to detect due to normal variations during pregnancy. For example, a placenta that is anterior or on the front wall of the uterus can act like a "pillow" when baby moves, cushioning and blunting movements… so those telltale flutters and kicks might be missing for some expecting mamas.
There's also the emotional component and the understandable trauma that may occur if you hadn't planned on becoming pregnant or didn't think you were, for whatever reason. Proper prenatal care — for both bodymind — is crucial, so it's always worth checking in with your doctor for any concerns at any time.Rest assured that despite what you may see on TikTok, this isn't a particularly common phenomenon.
