[Opinions] Re: that's what I don't get ...

There are three possibilities:
One, that she continued to have light periods throughout her pregnancy, at the time her periods would normally have come, and just thought her periods were lighter. This can happen.
Two, that she had always had irregular and/or infrequent periods anyway and so thought nothing of it. Women with infrequent and/or irregular periods are usually less fertile than women who have regular periods, and sometimes they are stubbornly infertile, but it can happen that they do get pregnant.
Third possibility is that she's as obtuse as you say.
You can believe it. I saw a couple of episodes of a television show all about it.

I had a friend who didn't know she was pregnant until she was three weeks away from her due date. Her periods had always been wonky and she was using a new method of birth control, so she chalked it up to that. It happens.
