sometimes a person wants to be pregnant so desperately that their brain creates a false-pregnancy. i had one patient who had a complete hysterectomy that even sent out birth announcements and started wearing pregnancy clothes. she wanted a miracle birth where none could exist. could it be that this person was experiencing a similar false-pregancy and a "loss" of that pregnancy? this person may have lost a "child" that never really existed except in her own mind. i do not know any of the details of this case as you know so i can only speculate. if there is medical evidence like ultrasound results pregnancy tests etc. only she has the right to reveal it. or not. she may need some psychological help not trouble her for documentation to prove or disprove her story. she has experienced a loss but perhaps the loss was her inability to ever have a child because of the hysterectomy. this can be very very difficult for a woman who wanted a child so desperately that her mind may have created one. i trust that you will approach this with sensitivity and understanding. my heart goes out to all of you.
i have another question for rod moser pa phd re: partial hysterectomy question previously posted. the person who presented the story about the 40 yr old woman w partial hysterectomy is very distraught over losing this child they even named her. he never was at any appts with her she said she had an ultrasound but there was no pic he has seen no pregnancy test or labs. he says she has 2 small incisions one by the belly button and one on her left side. is there any medical documentation he could ask for to prove her story? .
