Major Criticism
It comes as no surprise that Erin has recently received many public backlashes and a major criticism of what happened last October. People were saying, “Surely, the pre-warning signs must have been obvious.” “There is no way she didn’t know; it’s not possible.”
Major Criticism
Pre-Warning Signs
Yes, we all know that for anyone to know, there are usually obvious pre-warning signs. But the clues were not there for Erin. There was no indication that, in the first place, the beautiful model had even guessed what would happen next.

Life-Changing
The night of October 29th was the night that the life of Erin was changed forever. Now, even though it isn’t common, you would think it’s too bizarre and utterly unrealistic, but in fact, it’s happening all over the world.

Romantic Summer Evening
The beautiful Erin, who lives with her boyfriend, Daniel Carty in Melbourne, Australia, had just finished a romantic summer dinner one Tuesday evening when Erin suddenly started to feel sick. She brushed it off, thinking it was probably something that she had just eaten.

Feeling Under The Weather
Erin still did not feel too good after a couple of hours had passed. She was turning and tossing, yet she still couldn’t sleep. Before returning to bed, Erin then walked to the kitchen to get a cold glass of water.

Nothing Was Helping
Nothing seemed to really make Erin feel better. So instead, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom. A few minutes had passed when Daniel began to worry; he knocked on the door to see if his girlfriend was okay. You’re not going to believe what happened next …
Nothing Was Helping
Total Panic
Daniel began to hear a lot of noise coming from inside after knocking on the bathroom door. Then he started to get nervous about what might be happening. He began to shout, “Erin, are you alright? What’s going on?”.
Total Panic
Burst Through The Door
There was no response from Erin at first. But then, she started screaming. It sounded like she was in a lot of pain. Daniel quickly swung open the door at that moment and was in total disbelief. What could he have seen?

Unexpected
Erin, who was crying as she was in so much pain, was there on the floor of their bathroom. Daniel was in complete shock at what he saw … repeating the words “there are two of you,” “there are two of you.”

How Amazing?
That’s right, you’ve guessed it! Indeed, Erin had just given birth to a baby. Daniel was speechless and perplexed. He could not believe what he saw in front of him. It took a couple of seconds for him to process what was going on. Wait until you see what’s going to happen next.
How Amazing?
It’s A Girl!
Erin whispered, with tears running down her cheeks, that it was a girl! Though they were both surprised, Daniel rushed over to Erin, and they were so overjoyed. Both of them looked down at their gorgeous newborn daughter, and they realized the worst.

Emergency Services
They came to realize that their newborn was not breathing properly and was starting to turn blue. Both Erin and Daniel were horrified. And then Daniel rushed immediately to call the emergency services.

Help Was On The Way
While speaking to the 911 operator, Daniel tried to remain calm. Erin and Daniel talked through the steps to help their daughter breathe and save her life as the woman was talking. In the meantime, the ambulance was on its way.

We Didn’t Even Know She Was Pregnant
Even though it seemed that their newborn daughter was doing better. Daniel was still worried about Erin, his girlfriend, and whether she was all right, as well. “How many weeks pregnant was she,” asked the operator. “We don’t know,” Daniel said. “We didn’t know she was pregnant.”
We Didn’t Even Know She Was Pregnant
Meet Isla
Erin and Daniel were so thankful that their healthy baby daughter, Isla, had been welcomed into the world. At 37 weeks, Isla was born and weighed an outstanding 7 lbs. Since Erin had no idea she was pregnant, she was still in shock.
Meet Isla
No Cravings
She immediately said that there were no signs of pregnancy, no cravings, and no morning sickness. “I was on contraceptives, I just thought I had put on some Christmas season weight, but I never thought I was pregnant.”
No Cravings
No Baby Bump
On Langmaid’s Instagram, none of the photographs show her with a baby bump. Erin posed in her usual outfits and enjoyed nights out with the petite size 8, saying she had no trouble fitting into her clothes and felt absolutely fine until the day before.
No Baby Bump
Since then, by posting two pictures, she has updated her followers-one of their newborn daughter and the other of her new family, which she captioned: “The hardest week of our lives. You are my rock, and now you’re Isla’s”. This was not all for the couple…
Social Media
New dad, Daniel, also took a long message to his social media posting about their exciting news, “We want to share with you our new little family member, Isla May was brought into the world on Tuesday night, she lived in mummy’s tummy for 9 months without letting us know”.
Social Media
Tough Few Days
“After an extremely tough few days, both mother and daughter are perfectly well and ready to go home, ” he added. The support of our family and friends is something we will never be able to thank them enough for”. But that’s not all…

With a tribute to his stunning girlfriend, the emotional message continued, “To Erin, the courage you have shown is something I didn’t think possible; you are an incredible person and will be an amazing mum.”

The couple had more to say; being thankful didn’t mean they were done …

Baby Spa
Baby Isla had her first baby spa treatment at only 3 months old. Mom, Erin, was so excited to have a small “pamper day” with her daughter. The two of them went to Baby Spa Australia, where Isla enjoyed hydrotherapy and a baby massage. She seems to be really enjoying it!

Wedding Plans?
We know that all of you are following the wedding rumors. But there seem to be no plans for the couple to tie the knot any time soon. This was just for Erin’s recent photoshoot. But who knows what the future of Erin and Daniel is going to hold? It’s best to keep your fingers crossed!
Wedding Plans?
Unbelievable
We can all agree, and I’m sure that a full-term surprise baby is quite unreal, right? Soon after arriving at the hospital, it was later discovered that Erin had, in fact, what experts call a ‘cryptic’ pregnancy.
Unbelievable
What Is A Cryptic Pregnancy?
What’s a cryptic pregnancy, then? It is described as a pregnancy that may not be detected by conventional medical testing methods. One study estimates that 1 out of about 2,500 women do not realize that they are carrying a child until they go into labor. How amazing is that?
What Is A Cryptic Pregnancy?
Going Into Labor
Cryptic pregnancies often go undiscovered until the mother is about 20 weeks old, according to medical experts. Still, many women may only learn when the baby arrives that they have been pregnant.

No Typical Symptoms
Studies have also shown that, although cryptic pregnancies are very difficult to come by, they are believed to occur more often than doctors might think. Women often do not experience the typical symptoms of pregnancy, just like Erin.
No Typical Symptoms
What Are The Risks?
Doctors have also stated that many babies born out of a cryptic pregnancy are usually underweight, and their development may be affected by the lack of prenatal care. Luckily for women like Erin, even then, she gave birth to a healthy baby.
What Are The Risks?
There Are More
As we mentioned before, Erin wasn’t the first woman to have a cryptic pregnancy, and we’re pretty sure she won’t be the last. Katie Kropas, from Massachusetts, had a somewhat similar case back in 2015. Wait until you read her story…
There Are More
Katie Kropas
Well, after complaining about intense back pain, Katie went to her local emergency room and gave birth to a whopping 10-pound baby girl about an hour later. Can you believe it? She was informed at 10:15 pm that she had a full-term baby inside her, and she had given birth by 11:06 pm.

What Are The Facts?
Medical experts have also said that in cryptic pregnancies, multiple variables may play a significant role. Some people have mild symptoms and perhaps shrug it off as the flu. They might have abnormal menstrual periods like other women. They might also experience menstruation during a pregnancy, which may cause them to think they are not pregnant. Weight gain during pregnancy is another issue. It would then be less noticeable for women who are either overweight or gain a few extra pounds in their pregnancy. A factor may also be the effects of stress and denial.
