Her weight gain was followed by weird cravings. Next, she developed pimples and a swollen face but thought it was hormonal imbalance.
Favour added that she began to fall ill and checked her blood pressure. The last straw that broke the camel's back was her stomach pain.
When she checked in to the hospital, she eventually went into labour.
What is cryptic pregnancy?
According to Cleveland Clinic, cryptic pregnancy, or stealth pregnancy, is when a pregnant person does not know they are pregnant.
In some cases, a person may only realise they are pregnant because labour begins. Most people realise they are pregnant somewhere between four and 12 weeks of pregnancy.
