Pseudo pregnancy? what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pseudo pregnancy: False pregnancy, or pseudocyesis, is the belief that one is pregnant although one is not truly carrying a child. Many of the symptoms of pregnancy may be present, even though an actual fetus is not. It happens in 1-6 out of every 22, 000 live births. Even men may experience sympathetic pregnancy, or "couvade." http://tinyurl.Com/k4p2225 they develop nausea, weight gain, etc, like their partners.
