The medical term "spurious pregnancy" can also be described as pseudocyesis or false pregnancy. This condition occurs when a woman experiences many of the physical symptoms of pregnancy, such as missed periods, nausea, and weight gain, even though she is not actually pregnant. Other synonyms include phantom pregnancy, hysterical pregnancy, and non-existent pregnancy. Spurious pregnancy can be caused by a variety of factors, including psychological stress, hormonal imbalances, or even a strong desire to become pregnant. While rare, this condition can be emotionally and mentally taxing for those experiencing it, making it important to seek medical and psychological support if diagnosed.
