A woman was shocked to find out she was six months pregnant - despite being a size eight and having no bump. Lily Somerton, 21, still had her period and had no symptoms to indicate she was expecting - until she felt her stomach move while lying down. Already a mum-of-one, Lily recognised the feeling from her previous pregnancy and took a test just to be sure. The test came back positive and Lily went for a scan straight away and was told she was 24 weeks along and experiencing a cryptic pregnancy - when a pregnant person doesn't know they're pregnant - in April 2024. Doctors told Lily she may not grow a bump for the remainder of her pregnancy but her baby boy - due in July 2024 - is healthy.
