The Woman During Pregnancy: Possible Problems and Complications

False Pregnancy
There are some very rare cases where a woman who is not pregnant develops symptoms quite similar to those of pregnancy. She may stop menstruating for months and experience morning sickness, a weight gain, an enlargement of the abdomen, indeed even labor, and all this in spite of the fact that there is no fetus that could be delivered. Quite obviously, this condition can be recognized by the absence of reliable signs of pregnancy (fetal movements, fetal heartbeat, and image of fetus on ultrasound screen).
