Feeling tired and feeling nauseous as we accumulate a late period is a common phenomenon. In some cases, this impression of pregnancy intensifies and becomes so realistic that the woman is persuaded to expect a baby for nine months or more, even in the absence of a fetus. This is called nervous pregnancy, also called phantom pregnancy or pseudocyesis

Symptoms of Nervous Pregnancy

Unlike pregnancy denial where the woman is unaware of her condition, sometimes until term, a woman suffering from a nervous pregnancy is convinced that she is pregnant even if she is given proof to the contrary. She then develops many symptoms:

  • Lack of rules
  • Nausea
  • Rising hormone levels
  • Stomach pain
  • Tiredness
  • Weight gain
  • Swollen belly (abdomen), sometimes as in the 8th month of pregnancy
  • Sore breasts (sometimes they even release colostrum)

What are the causes of a nervous pregnancy?

In most cases, the cause of nervous pregnancy is primarily psychosomatic. The woman wants to get pregnant so badly that her brain triggers changes in her body. It can also be women who have an excessive fear of being pregnant. This is why it is especially young girls or older women who suffer from this phenomenon.

A traumatic episode can also lead to a nervous pregnancy: repeated miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, death of the spouse, abortion...

Finally, certain physical or psychological disorders can cause pregnancy symptoms. For example, severe depression or an ovarian tumor can upset a woman's hormone levels and stop her period.

In-depth and multidisciplinary treatment

Diagnosing a nervous pregnancy is simple. It is enough to carry out pregnancy tests and an ultrasound to demonstrate that the woman is not pregnant. However, treating the disease itself is much more complicated.

As a psychological disorder, nervous pregnancy requires the support of professionals in order to allow the woman to exteriorize her emotions, her feelings and to become aware of her body. It is recommended to call on multidisciplinary professionals: psychiatrists, doctors and gynecologists to better understand the disease and its origin. Buy Online!
