Saw someone mention this word in a reel and got curious. Like how can a woman not even know she is pregnant till so late? Is this a real thing or just internet drama? Pls explain if anyone knows.
With PCOS my periods are all over the place, so I get how someone might miss the signs. I always test if Im unsure rather than assume. Honestly its better to check than to wonder.
Its a pregnancy where the woman doesnt realise she is pregnant, sometimes till very late or even labour. My doc explained it can happen with irregular periods, low symptoms or even continued light bleeding. Rare but real, and thats why a missed period plus a test is always worth checking.
Basically the body hides the usual symptoms, so it goes unnoticed for long. You hear those shocking news stories. Its uncommon though, so dont worry, regular checkups make sure nothing is missed.
