Pseudopregnancy is a condition in which there is a firm belief of a non-pregnant woman in her pregnancy [1-3]. It is a cluster of many signs and symptoms which includes rare and strange phenomena like pseducyesis, delusion of pregnancy, false pregnancy, phantom pregnancy, historical pregnancy, simulated pregnancy etc [2,3]. This case study along with the literature review will follow the scientific explanations and the strong societal pressure on women that precipitate and maintain this disease process [1-3].
