Indicators Which Causes You To Believe You Might Be Actually Expecting

June 15, 2010   Filed under pregnancy

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.

Women often mistakenly associate a missed menses and associated breast sensitivity with pregnancy. These false pregnancy symptoms can also include nausea in the morning and a noticeable thickening of the abdominal area.

It is easy to not keep proper track of your menstrual cycles and believe you have missed a period when you haven’t, but in this condition a missed period is often the first and most common symptom. Other influences which might bring on a false pregnancy are an actual fear of getting pregnant or a strong desire to become pregnant, both of which can bring on stress.

When the breasts become tender to the touch, you could be getting your period; however, a female with psuedocyesis is going to think this discomfort is due to being pregnant. Nausea and vomiting are typically the result of hormones being out of balance, which can also lead to your period being late, but mostly, they are indicative of the first trimester of pregnancy.

Enlargement of the abdomen is a physical symptom which some women suffering from pseudocyesis develop. There are many explanations for a widening of the waistline during this time. Women begin to eat more believing they are pregnant; bloat associated with hormonal water gain; or simple gastrointestinal distress due to anxiety and stress can all account for this.

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.

A female who strongly wishes to get pregnant, or the reverse, one who is extremely scared of getting pregnant develops inner turmoil which then causes the endocrine system to get out of balance and is directly responsible for changing the period cycle.

If you want to find out for sure whether or not you are pregnant so you can be free from stress, take a pregnancy test in your home. Even better, talk to your OBGYN doctor to determine exactly what is going on with your body as you experience these symptoms.
