And their husbands will do DNA test one day find out they are not the child's father and start war against infidelity.
Women use your brain. Don't fall for this BS. That is why I insist on double checking all those women who claim to have given birth after 30 yrs of marriage.
I know that many of these failed paternity tests can be traced to these backyard miracle baby workers.
If as a wife you were faithful to your husband and your husband does DNA test that shows your child is not his. Shouldn't you suspect that the child is not yours either, and do your own DNA test to prove that you're not the biological mother? In that case you might be suspicious of baby swapping.
But unfortunately the cheating lady would not have the boldness to do her own DNA test because she was unfaithful and there is that possibility that the child is not the husband's.

She might know the source and know the implication of what she did. We ain't talking baby swapping here by the way. We talking baby snatching/buying. If I am a wife that did this cryptic thing and my husband finds out I will not do any DNA on myself.... I will not want to lose bothways. I have bonded with the baby and will not want to lose it totally. If I am the husband tho, I will insist and if the child is found not to be my wife's, I may report the case and then be ready to face whatever consequence that may follow or I weightings and keep the shut cos I don't know if it will be loved as much as I will if push comes to shove and the child is taken from me or if the psychological effect will not be heavy on the child in question.

So you'll rather have your husband think you cheated on him than to think that both of you were cheated?
Mind you the people who do this cryptic pregnancy thing, like the lady mentioned in the discourse do genuinely think they are pregnant, they are unsuspecting of any foul play.
And knowing that the child neither belongs to you biologically does not make the child any less your child, especially if time has passed and you have bonded with each other.
Finally, if I find out that my daughter is not mine, the onus rests on my wife to explain how that happened, it shouldn't be my headache. Moreover the mother of the child is the one who really knows who the father is or could be.

It's a tricky one but I will keep off the DNA thing and think it deeply. Esp if my husband is the Peper body type.

Hmmmm. I see why stealing of new born babies and news of sales of new born babies are rampant in South eastern and South-southern part of Nigeria.

This things these people do for money.... Only God almighty could save this country from the impending disaster that will follow all these evils being committed in a bid to get rich quick.

I heard about this 2 years ago, infact ,twins is 1.5- 2 million depends , while one baby is between 500- 800k

So I ask ,if you have this kind of money why not go for IVF? What is wrong with some people?

It's really bad how these people prey on desperate women but unfortunately, IVF success is not automatic; A batch of 10 women can undergo IVF in a clinic and only 2 would succeed or even none. A lucky few succeed at their 1st attempt while some do only on their 6th/7th attempt! This is why every IVF baby is also a 'miracle' baby.

Sterope:
I am not getting anything twisted. I am considering a desperate woman point of view

1) Cryptic pregnancy is cheaper and certain. IVF is never certain and it can be very expensive. Some are lucky, some aren't, some will never be lucky

2) Some of those who have their suspicions can convince themselves until it becomes the truth. They are certain if getting a baby at the end of it all. IVF requires a lot of faith and hope. The emotional cost of anxiety and depression may not be worth it

3) People overestimate the whole mini-me idea and all other blood related arguments. It is pure sentiment. It is an unpopular opinion but it doesn't make it less true. A child is always going to be a child so far you have dedicated so much to that child.

Once desperation to be called mummy and daddy sets in, biko forget the argument about having a child with your DNA. It beats going through that loop of disappointment for the unlucky and hopeless ones and the financial cost of going through it all.

My point of view is about the women out there who are desperate to have a child. It is not about myself or you.

Hey guys I need to draw your attention to a CRYPTIC PREGNANCY scam that’s going on in Nigeria for some time now.

What Is Even Cryptic Pregnancy?
A cryptic pregnancy is a pregnancy that regular medical testing systems may not detect. Cryptic pregnancies are also known as stealth Pregnancy, they are not so common.

IT’S A CRIMINAL GANG:
This is a money spinning criminal racket, they have group of young girls they pay to have babies and another group of young boys that get these young girls pregnant, they also have criminal gangs that go to hospitals and other places to steal babies.

THE RING LEADER:
The ring leader is usually a criminally minded woman who claims to posses powers to make any woman pregnant in a cryptic way which is absolute rubbish.

THE VICTIMS:
The victims are usually married women who have been married for years but cannot make babies. Because of their desperation to have children they are easily brainwashed. It’s on record that lots of these desperate women do sleep with pastors, herbalists etc just to get pregnant. They just want to have a baby and don’t care about anything else.

THEIR FEES AND CHARGES:
This scam is not for the poor because these criminals charge anything between 700k up to 2m naira.

HOW THEY OPERATE THIS SCAM
Like every other business, whether legitimate or otherwise, someone must introduce you. It could be a friend, family member, colleague etc.

They tell you about a woman that can make any woman pregnant. They tell you how this woman imports some powerful drugs or pills from India or wherever. There are many different versions of story they will tell you just to convince you.

Some of these criminals have whatsapp groups and Facebook groups where they post different fake stories just to make their scam look real and deceive gullible people.

So You pay whatever fees you guys agreed on and then the job begins.

They will give you some injections that will bloat you and make you big like a pregnant woman. All your organs, breast, abdomen will bloat like you are truly pregnant.

From my research I found out that they inject these unsuspecting women with oestrogen and sometimes progesterone hormones that cause the abdomen to bloat/enlarge, formation of cysts and appearance of being pregnant.

While you are “pregnant” they will arrange a fresh baby for you. Remember I said it’s a criminal gang, it’s a huge racket. They have group of poor, desperate young girls who they pay some money to get pregnant, they also have boys that impregnate these girls. If there is no baby in their baby factory they steal babies from hospitals, churches, homes etc.

They warn these women never to go to the hospital for antenatal or for pregnancy tests because the baby won’t show in scan. They claim no medical equipment will be able to detect the baby but somehow it is only these fraudsters that have spiritual eyes and techniques to detect your imaginary Cryptic baby in your abdomen. Pure nonsense.

By the 9th month, once they arrange a baby for you, they will admit you into their office/facility, they inject you with anesthetics so you won’t see the arrival of the magical baby, but you will wake up and find a baby by your side. Hallelujah somebody.

If you run a DNA test you will discover that this baby is neither yours nor your husband’s.

How can you deliver a baby and the umbilical cord has already dried? There is no way these women won’t notice or suspect something and I wonder why they don’t ask questions? Even me that is a man I know a fresh baby and one that is few days old.

I posted this on my Facebook page few days ago and so far 4 people contacted me on Facebook messenger to share their story with me. First Lady said she knew from the beginning that it was scam but she had to play along because she desperately wanted to have a baby. She said she went to many different churches and spiritual homes but nothing worked. Till date her husband doesn’t know but she knew everything.

Another woman said she didn’t know anything initially but when she woke up and saw her baby she had doubts because the baby umbilical cord was already dry which is not normal for a freshly born baby. And the fact that she couldn’t breastfeed her baby.

WHY THIS SCAM IS SO UNSUCCESSFUL
culture and Desperation

Culture: In the western world having a husband or child is not a do or die affair but in Africa especially Nigeria people will look down on you if you have no husband or children. But in some cases it’s the husbands fault, such as low sperm count etc but we still blame the wife?
Desperation: Desperation can make you loose your senses of reasoning. There are so many cryptic pregnancy groups on Facebook where some delusional or shall I say mentality unstable women talk about weird stuffs such as being pregnant for 3 years without any medical proof. This is not a joke, check some Facebook groups some of these women claim they are pregnant for 3 years and counting. Each time I tell them it’s not possible they invade my dm to raise insults and abuses.
This is not a copy and paste story, my name is iyk, and it took me 9months to uncover this Cryptic pregnancy fraud in Nigeria. If you are a victim or know someone who is, or you suspect something similar to this, please talk to me, I promise to keep our discussion CONFIDENTIAL
