“Her Pregnancy Tests Were All Negative—But Her Baby Was Real”
“Her Pregnancy Tests Were All Negative—But Her Baby Was Real”
When Rachel Thompson, a 29-year-old teacher, experienced unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and back pain, she thought she was coming down with something. Her body felt off, but she dismissed it. What didn’t make sense, however, was that every pregnancy test she took came back negative. Despite the absence of a positive test, Rachel’s symptoms grew more pronounced.
A month later, Rachel had a strange dream in which she saw a baby girl. The dream felt so real that it prompted her to see a doctor, though she was still certain she wasn’t pregnant.
An ultrasound confirmed the unthinkable: she was 37 weeks pregnant. The fetus had been developing without showing the usual pregnancy symptoms, and her body had masked it entirely.
Rachel’s delivery went smoothly, and she welcomed a healthy baby girl. The tests had missed it. The symptoms had been subtle. But sometimes, the body’s mysteries run deeper than any test can detect.
