 Stillbirth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pregnancy loss is often emotionally devastating to the parents, particularly the mother.
If a pregnancy is terminated deliberately, this is termed induced abortion, which may be medical or surgical in nature.
If a pregnancy ends without a live birth because of natural causes, this is called stillbirth, pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion.

 Phantom pregnancy
Phantom pregnancy or pseudocyesis cannot just be dealt with from a medical or gynaecological perspective without taking due consideration of the severe underlying emotional distress and turmoil which has led to the diagnosis of such a condition in the first place.
A phantom, or false pregnancy, is a condition in which a non-pregnant woman exhibits all the classic symptoms of pregnancy and is firmly convinced that she is pregnant even when clear medical evidence shows that she is not.
The first thing a woman with a phantom pregnancy will probably do is visit her GP or antenatal clinic complaining of all the usual symptoms and minor discomforts of early pregnancy such as absence of periods; breast enlargement; nausea and vomiting; weight gain and abdominal distension.

 Chapter 1 -- Phantom Risk
Phantom risk is a manifestation of the confusion and uncertainty that invariably accompany risk research, a science that in all respects is in its early stages of development.
Phantom risk is not lung cancer from smoking, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) from one intrauterine contraceptive device, the Dalkon Shield.
Phantom risk is a problem at the interface of science and the law.

 An Immaculate Conception?
Phantom Pregnancy - or Pseudocyesis - is a fairly uncommon condition, usually triggered by a strong desire or need for motherhood.
Phantom Pregnancies are still often seen in animals, but in women, the incidence of this once fairly common condition has been dramatically reduced.
She was ecstatic when she started experiencing the usual symptoms of pregnancy: missed periods, morning sickness, weight gain and tenderness in her breasts.

 phantom pregnancy.what should i do?
Phantom pregnancies are not an illness and are often a lot more distressing for the owners than the bitch who just carries on in her own sweet way.
If this is her first phantom and she has never had one before I would want at least to talk to a vet, particularly if she is drinking a lot.
If the phantom is very severe your vet may give her a drug called something like Galastop which is expensive but does not always work (with the Dobe owners I have spoken to anyway).

 tonevendor.com :. Phantom Pregnancies - The Compilation That Should Have Been a Contender LP
The Phantom Pregnancies are in the least a British cult band that trashy garage punk and riot grrl fans will value in their record collection.
The Phantom Pregnancies who were around from 1994-1996 based out of London, UK were released on 11 records in that short period of time.
This is the most definitive anthology to the mysterious punk band that raided shows, played in pajamas, recorded their releases on boom-boxes and had stage names.

she might have a hormonal imbalance.I've had dogs that had maybe one phantom pregnancy in their whole life but once or twice a year is alot.
Our kelpie bitch had phantom pregnancies fairly regularly too, thought not necessarily when she is on heat (she has one now but was on heat over a month ago).
Hi, it sounds like she's having what they call phantom pregnancies every time she's in heat.

 P - Pregnancy, False
False pregnancy symptoms are normal in dogs that have an estrus and do not get bred, due to the way in which they cycle.
It is not usually necessary to treat for symptoms of false pregnancy but they can be so close to those of a real pregnancy that the two can be very confusing.
It is usually possible to feel distinct lumps in the uterus representing individual embryos from about the 28th day of pregnancy to about the 35th day of pregnancy.

 Many Mastectomy Patients Report 'phantom' Pain - Your Womens Health Community™
Phantom pain, often experienced by amputees, is likely the body's response to the trauma, researchers explain.
The investigators found that the biggest predictor of which women would have postoperative phantom pain and sensations was pain before mastectomy.
Surprisingly, reconstruction after a mastectomy did not reduce the phantom pain or sensations, noted study author Dr. Srinivasa N. Raja of Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, Maryland, who presented his study at the American Society of Anesthesiologists meeting.

 phantom
It was a well planned pregnancy, hopes were high, the intention being to keep the pick bitch for showing and possible future breeding.
Having been through two previous pregnancies with her, I already had a good idea of what to expect, and things were definitely different.
It was five weeks since the mating, and as expected she started to put on weight, the waist line expanded, the rib cage pushing out, the appetite out of control, the boobs enlarged.

 Salon.com Life What are we fighting for?
Having just scrutinized a pregnancy that ended at the point when most stem cells are collected, I've decided to push away the microscope to look at the problem as a mother.
Doctors now rely on the new term "chemical pregnancy" for very early pregnancy loss because pregnancies are being detected earlier and earlier -- both due to infertility treatments and the availability of sophisticated over-the-counter ovulation and pregnancy tests.
Many women these days refer to their loss of very early pregnancies as "having a child in heaven." The first time I saw this term was on an electronic bulletin board for women trying to conceive.

 Castration
A phantom pregnancy is not to be considered a neurotic tendency, but should be considered as normal behavior due to an abnormality of the ovaries.
Having a phantom pregnancy does not mean that the bitch is sterile and unable to be mated and bear a litter.
Answer: A phantom pregnancy is when a female imagines and goes through all the symptoms of believing she is pregnant.

 Neutering
The signs of a phantom pregnancy usually occur one or two months after a season has finished, your dog may become moody and depressed, go off her food and may even start to produce milk from her teats, these signs normally last for a few weeks.
Even a bitch that has not been mated can often suffer from having phantom pregnancies, which are caused by hormonal changes.
Bitches that have not been speyed very commonly get womb infections (pyometra) later in life - this is frequently fatal.

 MRSA infection in pets and animals forum, MRSA message board
Thank you Anon Vet and yes i know a phantom pregnancy wouldn't make it more or less likely for her to have contracted MRSA it was just to get a view on whether perhaps she should have been left until she was over it.
My dog was spayed 3 weeks ago and unbeknown to me was having a phantom pregnancy, the vet realised she had milk in her teets before he operated.
I myself had no idea that she was having a phantom pregnancy, she hadn't behaved any different.

False positive or phantom hCG tests have led to the misdiagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, or to the erroneous assumption of post-gestational choriocarcinoma.
Patients are today have been needlessly treated with chemotherapy and received a hysterectomy or other surgical procedures based solely on false positive or phantom hCG levels (references 7-8, below) ( click here to see potential sources of hCG in and outside of pregnancy).

 International Society for the Study of Trophoblastic Diseases
Twin pregnancy with mole and viable fetus as two separate conceptuses is observed less often (about 1 in 200) in molar pregnancies than twin viable fetuses occur in normal pregnancies (about 1 in 110).
A twin pregnancy consisting of a complete hydatidiform mole and a coexisting normal fetus is estimated to occur once in every 22,000 to100,000 pregnancies.
Such pregnancies are often diagnosed late, are associated with a reduced live birth rate of around 25% and are at risk from complications such as preeclampsia and hemorrhage.

 Limerick Leader - June 23rd, 2001 - News - Family say it's like a chemical pishogue
In the years that followed, calves were born only to die shortly after birth, abortions were regular and phantom pregnancies began - cows springing to calf, and then, no calf.
They've seen cows go infertile for no reason or give birth to dead or deformed calves, and phantom pregnancies are nothing unusual in herds.
These are the farmers who, for the past 15 years or so have watched their animals suffer strange illnesses and die mysteriously from time to time.

 Your Place - In Calf or Not? - Cow Question
I haven't heard of a cow having a phantom pregnancy but I've had young heifers have a swollen quarter which has turned out to be a blocked duct or dry mastitis.
If you want to keep and breed her over the longer term, get her checked and aborted (if necessary) now, or her growth and development will be affected by the pregnancy and she'll not be a good long-term prospect anyway.
There is a small possibility that her teats have changed with puberty, but if you're noticing a significant udder development, then pregnancy is most likely.

 PBA_NUM2
The Phantom Procedure AKA the so called 'partial birth abortion' IF it is supposed to be the IDandX, is performed as early as 18 weeks and on rare occasions slightly earlier.
Once we get to the 16-18 week stage of the pregnancy there really is a great deal of physical similarity between the fetus and the born infant.
IDandX in these circumstances is just another abortion method, and depending on the skill, geographic location, and gestational timing of the pregnancy, may be the best choice available for a particular termination.

 iBeth: "Safe Havens": Terrible Idea
In fact, it repeatedly argues that the safe haven laws are making *no* difference to those women who would previously have concealed their pregnancies and abandoned their babies unsafely, and it points out that unsafe abandonments have been continuing at the same (low) rate since the adoption of these laws.
But it seems that our society would rather settle for the bare minimum (let's try to keep babies alive without ever considering why they're dying in the first place) rather than for the ideal (let's try to have resources available so no women are ever so desperate that they abandon their babies).
But it does not support your argument that safe haven laws are positively encouraging women (who would not have done so otherwise) to conceal their pregnancies; it briefly suggests this but gives no supporting evidence for it.

 False pregnancy Vicky Corcoran petchat vlcpost56@hotmail.com
One of my previous rabbits used to suffer a great deal with phantom pregnancies and the only effective way to deal with it is to get her spayed.
The only way to prevent this is to spay females and it also reduces the risk of hormonal problems such as phantom pregnancies.
Neutering rabbits is more common now and research has shown that a very high proportion of female rabbits suffer from uterine cancer by the age of 5.
