With many of the physical conditions and symptoms of pregnancy present, and a strong belief she is actually pregnant, a woman of childbearing age may experience the strange phenomenon of pseudocyesis, more commonly called pseudo-pregnancy.
Several signs of being pregnant are present with a pseudo-pregnancy, and the most prevalent are sore breasts, lack of a period, nausea and vomiting, and stomach expansion.
While a missed period can be the first indication of pregnancy, it can also lead to false conclusions when a woman does not regularly track her cycle. In pseudocyesis, a lack of menstrual cycle can be attributed to the emotional and psychological stress of wanting to be pregnant or the fear of being pregnant.
A woman naturally has breast tenderness and even mild pain in relation to the menstrual cycle. This is yet another symptom that those suffering from pseudo-pregnancy will believe is a sign of pregnancy. Fluctuations in hormones are responsible for many symptoms including delayed or missed periods and nausea. While these can be signs of early pregnancy, they are not definitive.
Certain females who go through a pseudo-pregnancy, might even see their stomach region get bigger. However, this increase in size is probably a result of eating too much because she thinks she is pregnant, of retaining excess water in advance of a period, or the accumulation of gas because of extreme anxiousness and stress.
Among women who have lost a child or who have suffered from a miscarriage, pseudo pregnancy tends to be most common. Also it is most often found in women who are experiencing fertility struggles, are having trouble conceiving, and who are already in their thirties and forties. These false pregnancy symptoms are not surprisingly often associated with emotional conflict.
The hormonal balance is directly affected when a woman has an overwhelming desire to become pregnant or a consuming fear of becoming pregnant. The stress caused by these emotional conditions can change the menses of a woman.
Use a home pregnancy kit if you are emotionally affected by either fear or hope and find out for sure what the situation is. You can of course also consult with your gynecologist for an assessment of the situation.
