Swelling of the breasts, nausea,weight gain sounds a lot like pregnancy right?
Well, not always.
This isn’t a miscarriage either.
There isnoconception involved, yet the side effects exist and lead some women to believe they are expecting.
This is called a sympathetic pregnancy.
It’s still largely unknown why these symptoms occur in men and women.
Pseudocyesis may happen after a miscarriage,infertility, loss of a child, or a mental breakdown.
Symptoms from a false pregnancy can last a few weeks, nine months, or several years.
It’s important to realize that phantom pregnancies are very rare, but they do happen.
Emotional support is necessary for any person dealing with the aftermath.
