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. Lily, a support worker, from King's Lynn, Norfolk, said: "I was on the bed and I saw my belly move.
"I did a test and it was positive. "I went for a scan and they said I was 24 weeks. "I just froze.
How was I so far along? "I was surreal. "I still had my periods. They said I might not get a bump at all.
" Lily fell pregnant with her first son, now 19 months, unexpectedly when she missed a period. She gave birth to him in October 2022 weighing 8lbs 10oz. She said: "It was a shock.
"I found out early on. "I soon got over it." After splitting for her first child's ex in mid 2022, Lily met her current partner, Ashley Davis, 35, a window fitter, in April 2023.
Lily also lost her dad Wayne Somerton, 51, a window fitter, in November 2023 to throat cancer - just five days before her 21st birthday..
