Possibility of cryptic pregnancy

According to Yassin, there are several people who are classified as cryptic pregnancy, namely:

• In people approaching menopause or perimenopause, where signs of pregnancy such as weight gain or obesity, as well as no menstruation, are considered a common thing that pregnancy ignores.
• In contraceptive users, users feel that they are not pregnant due to the use of contraceptives.
• In people who do not pay attention to the symptoms of the changes that arise in their body
• In people who are in a state of “denial” or psychological rejection. For example, someone who does not want to get pregnant, so he ignores all the changes that occur in his body.

Changes in the body

Yassin said, reflecting on the cases of cryptic pregnancies that have occurred, it is very important to pay attention to all the changes that occur in the body, no matter how small.

“Not only wives, but also husbands should pay attention to any conditions and changes wives experience,” Yassin said.

She also added that public enthusiasm for cryptic pregnancy cases shows that knowledge of reproductive health is very important.

However, according to Yassin, everyone’s knowledge about it remains uneven.

“In fact, pregnancy is something important to prepare the generation and needs to be accompanied during the process,” said Yassin.
