Some women are initially in denial. They can't believe that they are pregnant when they had no idea before. For example, they might keep repeating that there must be some mistake. But then they start to come to terms with it. They may seek support from their families and friends.
One possible cryptic element could be the use of vivid imagery. The descriptions of the battle scene, like the 'bombs bursting in air', might be hiding a message about the chaos and yet the hope that remained during the War of 1812. Another could be the reference to the flag. The 'star - spangled banner' itself is a symbol, and in the story, the way it is described as still flying could be a cryptic way of representing American perseverance.
A young woman had been competing in sports and was very fit. She had no idea she was pregnant. One day, she fainted during a training session.

One inspiring story involves a woman who was overweight. She didn't notice the physical changes associated with pregnancy easily. She had some back pain which she thought was due to her weight. But when she visited the doctor for the back pain, she learned she was pregnant. She worked hard to have a healthy pregnancy, eating better and taking gentle exercise as advised. In the end, she had a wonderful birth experience and a healthy baby. This story emphasizes that every pregnancy is different and we should be aware of the less - obvious signs.
One common factor is irregular periods. If a woman already has an irregular menstrual cycle, it's easier to miss the signs of pregnancy. For example, in many real stories, women with irregular periods thought that the missed periods were normal for them.
One story is about a woman who continued to have her periods throughout her cryptic pregnancy. She only realized she was pregnant when she felt sudden and intense abdominal pain. It turned out she was in labor and gave birth shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Don't be too obvious with the horror elements. Let the reader piece things together.
