Phantom Pregnancy

September 18, 2008

Well! Phantom Pregnancy is a term that makes most of the doctors completely confused. Phantom Pregnancy is also called as psedocyesis that means false pregnancy. It is practically uncommon condition that is usually triggered in females when they have strong desire for motherhood. Such desire makes them feel like pregnant woman and then, slowly they become a victim of Phantom Pregnancy.

Women who suffer from pesdocyesis under go through all the common symptoms that are totally mimicked to general pregnancy like morning sickness, menstruation cease, enlargement of abdomen, swollen breasts etc. In addition, it may also happen that the cervix as well as uterus show symptom of genuine pregnancy as well as urine test may possibly be false positive. Thus, if some of the women who do their pregnancy test at home and find it false positive may easily have wrong calculation that they are pregnant. Even in some cases of Phantom Pregnancy, women feel foetal movements and consequently, they consider that they are going to have a baby in few months.

Hence, women who suffer from Phantom Pregnancy completely believe that they are really pregnant while doctors often become totally baffled when they saw such cases. Actually, all the conditions are completely alike genuine pregnancy in psedocyesis. Doctors can detect it easily but they also become wordless and mystified when they see such cases.

This type of pregnancy can also be noticed in animals easily. However, in women the cases of such fairly uncommon condition is reduced dramatically. The reduction of such incidences has only happened due to the improvement and development of diagnosis as well as prenatal care.

It is a fact that this condition can affect both genders and all races, around the world. However, it seems to be quite common within those women who are histrionic, dependant and immature. In addition, women who are suffering from relationship difficulties, infertility or miscarriage are also affected by the Phantom Pregnancy.
