Cause of phantom pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
False pregnancy?: Phantom or false pregnancy is more common in veterinary circles. False pregnancy in humans is less common, and may sometimes be purely psychological. It is generally estimated that false pregnancy is caused due to changes in the endocrine system of the body, leading to the secretion of hormones which translate into physical changes similar to those during pregnancy.
