Historically concealed pregnancy is associated with oppressive religious cultures where premarital pregnancy was shunned.

Women with a history of controlling and oppressive relationships characterized by fear respond to a crisis pregnancy by keeping it secret. Many women's relationships were characterized by emotional, mental, sexual, or physical violence.
