Yes it is. I've worked in a clinic for expectant mothers and we had a case where a young lady came in with all the symptoms and appearance of being visible pregnant, but she wasn't. Her desire to have a baby was so strong, that her body mimicked the symptoms. We had to refer her to physiological counselling for help.

Yes, our minds play tricks on us all the time. If a woman wants a baby really bad she may emotionally cause herself to get the physical symptoms of pregnancy. Even to the point she'll miss periods and her abdomen will noticeably swell. Not only women who want a child will experience this, women who don't want, or are afraid to get pregnant will emotionally cause this to happen to them.

I know exactly how you feel because I go thru the same thing every month. And I try not to think about it  but its so hard. Everytime I go in stores and see the baby section I just want to cry so bad. And every month I think I'm pregnant. I sleep a lot,I feel nausea etc, and me and my husband get excited but its never what we expect it to be. I know what you go thru 100%. But we'll keep trying and you should too. Good luck

First, let me say how sorry I am that you lost your baby. It must have been devastating. Your symptoms could be psychosomatic. Our minds can create physical symptoms in our bodies. Those symptoms are very real, not imagined. Another possibility, from some of the symptoms you describe, could be depression. I'm not talking about "I feel sad, I can buck up" depression. I'm talking about clinical depression which is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Pregnancy does all kinds of things to the body. Maybe you're experiencing some residual effects. At any rate, you should see a doctor and describe your symptoms to him, particularly the headaches, crying and sleeping a lot. They are some of the typical symptoms of depression. Don't worry about the song making you cry. Certain associations can evoke emotions in many people. I hope you'll consider what I've said, and I wish you luck. You've got to take care of yourself.

I completely understand what your going through. I almost always feel pregnant and I know it's just because I want to be. It's so depressing to find out each month that I'm not. I look through baby photos every week, I look at baby clothes a lot. I just want to have a baby with the man I love so much and I can't.

Yes, you can have symptoms and not be pregnant. If your unsure just take a test and if its positive go to the doct and get it confirmed.
