Some women may feel fetal movement or other symptoms caused by psychological factors or physical illnesses, thinking they are pregnant. However, this is not possible through blood tests and early pregnancy tests. This is what is called false pregnancy, which is different from real pregnancy. Below are the differences between real pregnancy and false pregnancy.
1、 How to distinguish between false pregnancy and pregnancy
1. What is the phenomenon of false pregnancy
The phenomenon of false pregnancy refers to the occurrence of symptoms similar to pregnancy, such as morning sickness, conscious fetal movement, abdominal distension, etc., but the woman is not actually pregnant. The reason for the occurrence of false pregnancy may be related to psychological suggestion or certain diseases. It is most appropriate for women to go to the hospital for examination when their condition is unclear.
2. 5 details to tell you that you are pregnant
A. Auntie didn't report for duty
Although false pregnancy may also cause this symptom, if a woman is actually pregnant, she will definitely face amenorrhea. If the menstrual period has not arrived for more than 2 weeks, going to the hospital for examination can roughly detect the signs of pregnancy. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some women may have 1-2 menstrual cycles during pregnancy, but their menstrual blood may be less than usual.
B. Significant changes in appetite
A significant change in appetite is also one of the early symptoms of pregnancy, such as sudden loss of appetite after menstruation, or feeling nauseous and nauseous when smelling a certain odor. It is also possible to suddenly crave a certain flavor of food, the most common of which is sour food. These changes in taste can also be a sign of pregnancy.
C. Pain in the breasts
Generally, in the early stages of pregnancy, women's breasts become more solid and heavy, and there is a feeling of fullness and pain. The small particles around the nipple in the areola also appear particularly prominent.
D. Always not getting enough sleep
In the early stages of pregnancy, drowsiness is also a significant change in women. In early pregnancy, due to changes in progesterone, women may feel mentally fatigued. Even though they haven't done anything, they always feel tired and can't sleep enough.
E. Increased vaginal discharge
One of the common early pregnancy symptoms is an increase in vaginal secretions due to the implantation of fertilized eggs and the effects of hormone elevation. Normal vaginal discharge is an odorless milky white mucus. If the discharge appears dull or bloody, seek medical attention promptly.
The above is about the difference between fake pregnancy and real pregnancy. In fact, there should be no psychological burden. Generally, pregnancy has at least two or more symptoms, and the absence of a single menstrual period cannot be determined. Testing with test strips and other methods should be used, but attention should be paid to the timing to avoid testing errors. Loss of appetite and drowsiness are usually typical symptoms.
