Mary believes that she is having a cryptic pregnancy, but her doctor and her boyfriend don?t believe her. After she gives birth at home her child is taken from her by mysterious government organization, Mary has to fight her own self doubt to recover her child and prove her sanity.
The phrase "cryptic pregnancy" can have two meanings. In mainstream medicine it means the woman is not aware she is pregnant, but medical tests, if performed, would prove she is pregnant.

The phrase “cryptic pregnancy” can have two meanings. In mainstream medicine it means the woman is not aware she is pregnant, but medical tests, if performed, would prove she is pregnant. In alternative medicine it refers to a pregnancy that cannot be detected by medical tests. Needless to say, mainstream doctors consider the second definition bogus as there is no scientific basis for such a claim. Anyone who believes in alternative medicine would understand the second definition when reading your logline, while anyone adhering to science based medicine would understand the first definition and be baffled by your premise.
Once the woman has given birth she no longer needs to overcome “self doubts”. Any competent doctor can detect the telltale signs of childbirth. And the aftermath of a home birth would be enough to convince the police who, we would think, would start looking for the baby themselves.
Though you tell us she has a boyfriend, you do not tell us if he helps her get the baby back. If not, he is not important enough to the story to be mentioned in the logline.
Since it is a “mysterious government organization” that kidnaps the baby, this sounds more like a thriller than a horror film. Government organizations are often the antagonist in thrillers, but less so in horror. You don’t tell us why the Government wants the baby, so I assume this is the big reveal, but it might help the logline if you give us a hint.
