I actually went thru this myself. Was feeling sick every morning and just not myself,took 2 home test that were both positive. I didn't have a period my stomach was growing I had morning sickness and weird cravings,every sign of pregnancy, finally have a Dr appointment about two months later and found out not pregnant. I was in shock and disbelief and then sad and embarrassed since I had already told so many people. Dr said pseudocyesis was what it's called when a woman has a lot of stress and hormones are all going crazy that can come up as pregnancy symptoms. I can tell you this is something that can really be devastating to someone and try not to judge them because it is a real thing

I think the hard part is you kind of put a pressure on yourself that you aren't allowed to mourn. But your belief that there was a pregnancy was real, and the loss of that belief is real.

Dr. Reese only said hysterical pregnancy because that’s what it’s commonly known as. People in daily life don’t use medical terms so dr’s often say medical terms and also give the common terms at the same time so they could relate to what the patient might hear in everyday life. Dr. Reese wasn’t actually referring to the woman as hysterical or crazy it’s just the woman’s emotions were already heightened so therefore anything Reese said to her her brain would’ve took it as an insult because she really didn’t want to hear anything the dr’s were saying anyways!

Dr Charles may have felt that the woman was more likely to accept the information coming from another woman rather than a man - a shared empathy/trust kind of thing. Women are generally dismissed and treated with condescension by male doctors anyway when it comes to reproductive/gynaelogical issues - trust me, I'm speaking from experience! - so there's a loss of trust to start with. Add to that being told the last thing you'd ever want to hear in that situation, with everything physically happening to your own body completely contradicting what some male doctor dude is telling you... it's just unfortunate that Dr Reece wasn't professionally equipped enough yet to do that.

Not really. There is no good way to tell someone they were never pregnant in the first place. And she did explain it basically as well as anyone could have. The medical condition isn't that complex and would require some follow up to ensure proper hormone balance and recovery. But the entire malady can be explained in a few sentences. And when asked directly she told them directly. The body is complex and does strange things. Unfortunately you are not pregnant even though you are showing the signs. There is no baby inside of you. This is called a hysterical pregnancy. This means your body acts like it is pregnant without ever having been pregnant. Just how exactly was this news supposed to make them feel? Cause I don't see any scenario where they are not upset. And of all the pieces of bad news someone is going to need to deliver in a hospital, a miscarriage is pretty common.

It's like somatic pain from trauma, in a way. My psychpathologies 350 professor in college was a licensed practicing psychiatrist and with his former patient's permission, he gave us the example of the anonymous patient, a teen at the time of treatment, coming to see to him after several other specialists ruled out all possible physical causes for the severe pain in his hand. When they got to the root of the issue, they discovered that he was having somatic hand pain as a result of physical and religious trauma. His family was very devout in their religion and being a teen boy he was curious and had touched himself with the hand that was causing him so much physical pain. his parents caught him and beat him for it. about a week later, after getting in a fight at school, thus triggering the parent-inflicted physical and religious abuse trama, he began having the hand pain. his family assumed it was an injury from the fight at school, but it was the trauma and the severe religious guilt causing somatic pain. he made a full recovery, and after leaving home at 18 he declared himself an atheist.

Hi, future LMHC here, and the per the American Psychological Association states that, “hysteria is defined as an emotionally charged state of behavior that seems excessive”, she was NOT having a psychological break, which is defined as “loosing touch with reality due to decline in mental health”. She is not exhibiting symptoms from a mental break. She believed she was pregnant due to physical aspects relating to pregnancy, hysterical pregnancy is rightly defined as she went on emotions NOT science to determine if she was truly pregnant. Her doula could not tell she was not pregnant because she typically doesn’t believe in western medicine to test (hence the no ultrasound speech”. Society believes “hysterical” means “crazy” or “mental”, when it truly just means an extreme case of emotion or behavior.

@collegekid8609 right, the APA also says that hysteria is technically an out of date term, and it's referred to now as conversion disorder. Explaining what hysteria means clinically doesn't change the fact that the root of the word hysteria, womb, was a general way to diagnose women in distress because having a womb meant your health was taken less seriously. If hysterical meant crazy in the general English lexicon for hundreds of years, then that's what the word means. Meanings can change.

I dont get this drama. Why it may be sad you where not pregnant when you wanted to be, nothing actualy died or was lost. And you can just get pregnant for real right after. if anything this condition would be a perfect test run to see if your actualy serious about having a kid. If this happend when you where believed to be infertile then I can understand the pain more. However even then we have this lovely process called adoption where kids who need loving parents much more then some x and y cells who yet have to build one, can be adopted into a loving home. Children dont need to come out of your body for them to truly be your children. All that is required is love, commitment and care. If you need kids to be homebred it's an ego thing, not a love or motherhood/fatherhood thing. No pregnancies required.

Correct, you have to remember that all things related to pregnancy are the result of hormone triggers. Feeling the baby move is the one that likely was more in her own head but could have just been muscles twitching. The rest though is just how the body reacts to its own chemical signals. The brain is a very powerful thing

I had an ultrasound at one point and they found a placenta and sac but they said there was no baby. I told them no dnc. I gave birth to my daughter 8 months later. Turned out there was two. If I’d allowed the dnc I would not have had my daughter. I was pregnant with two babies six weeks apart. The first one had been absorbed and the second one was too soon to see or even tell at the time. Yes it is possible for a woman to ovulate more than once and also get pregnant with other babies in the first three months of an existing pregnancy. To all who have gotten pregnant with multiples and lost any, and for those who have had pseudo pregnancies I am so sorry. Big hugs to all who have gone thru this. ❤

If there are no significant risk factors, most places don't want to see you until 12 weeks. The rate of miscarriage in the first few weeks is very high (like, starts at 40% and gradually decreases every week), and most miscarriages are not life-threatening. You can't typically detect a pulse until around 6-7 weeks, and even then, if you don't see one on an untrasound, it doesn't necessarily mean the pregnancy isn't viable.

Once you think you are pregnant, a lot of hospitals will tell you to go get “proof of pregnancy” by getting a pregnancy test at a women’s clinic, and then the doctor will schedule you for an intake around 10 weeks. A lot of women don’t know they are pregnant until at least about 5 weeks. You would probably have your first ultrasound between 14-16 weeks, but the important anatomy ultrasound happens around 20 weeks.

Birth control caused 2 chemical pregnancies in my late teens. Wasn’t even SA. Had full on placenta come out of me while working a night shift. What do the doctors suggest, just try another form of birth control so I do, same thing happens, they suggest another birth control…. At that point I was done with birth control, the effects were horrible. I gained 30 pounds and was constantly depressed, sick constantly. Ended up having cervical cancer and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia at 29yrs old. After the doctors kept trying to get me on birth control. I refused. They said i had to, told me I wouldn’t be able to conceive any ways…. I went for my cancer screening after multiple surgeries…. Guess what I’m actually pregnant. Baby is healthy.. almost 6months!

BEST advice I got early on in cancer care was, "we can't force our patients to do anything." It is beautiful to be able to get a patient to trust you and we get better and better at it. But at the end of the day, that woman needed to go home and think. She knew what was true. The more they pushed it, the more she was going to get defensive. And the student doctor 100% needed that safe experience of a patient taking news poorly.

@Alex Chaudhari technically her sister did have the miscarriage after an amniocentesis, a procedure that involves taking a sample of amniotic fluid from the womb usually for genetic testing. While very very low, it does run the risk of miscarriage (less than 1%). Typically though such a procedure is only done in cases that there is concern for trisomy 13, 18, or 21 and even then it's not done often any more since newer blood tests have been developed that are nearly 100% accurate that only involve taking a blood sample from the mother.
