‘In my 30 years in this profession I have only experienced three cases of cryptic pregnancies’
A cryptic pregnancy is when there is total absence of subjective awareness of pregnancy till the end of gestation, and the pregnancy is only noted on delivery of the baby.

The article mentions a 2002 paper published in the British Medical Journal which estimated that cryptic pregnancies occur in about one in every 2,500 pregnancies.
