A radiographer has sparked widespread reactions online after recounting a startling experience with a 21-year-old patient.
The medical professional, known as @CorrectBabie on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that the young woman visited the hospital for what she believed was her first pregnancy scan.
Radiographer Shares Shocking Encounter
According to the radiographer, the patient mentioned that she had missed her period for about two months. However, during the scan, it was discovered that she was already eight months pregnant — a revelation that left her completely stunned.
Describing the moment, the radiographer wrote:
“The girl wanted to faint, I kid you not. She was feeling dizzy and started asking for water. We had to pause the scan until she was okay. The shock and surprise on her face…”
The unexpected discovery quickly drew attention online, with many users sharing similar stories and reactions.
Reacting to the post, an X user, Rose Elewedu, commented:
“The same thing happened to a friend of mine. She noticed when the foetus was eight months old.”
Another user, Tomwumsi, wrote:
“Just one month to go. The child has a great destiny. Perhaps if she had known earlier, she might have considered abortion.”
Omolewa added:
“It’s a serious case. It’s a situation where the baby grows outside the womb.”
Meanwhile, Health Hero remarked:
“I’ve only heard about cryptic pregnancy online. I’ve never seen anyone who has experienced it.”
The incident has since fueled discussions online about cryptic pregnancies and how some women may remain unaware of their condition until the later stages.
