Tunis: A Tunisian health official says a woman who claimed she was pregnant with 12 babies underwent a medical examination that showed she is not pregnant.

The official says the 30-year-old teacher from central Tunisia had agreed to the ultrasound exam after initially refusing.

Doctors concluded she is experiencing a mental condition called a "phantom pregnancy" by which women can believe they are pregnant and develop some symptoms.

The woman had claimed she was expecting six girls and six boys.

Health experts say a 12-baby pregnancy is next to impossible.

experts are now saying that this pregnancy is next to impossible
wow after she got all medical facilities and govt allowances for babies
are those experts were out of mind before?

lol.I heard on tv last week and be so hapy for her and now this....

Can a man experience a phantom pregnancy?

Can a 70 yr old woman experience a phantom pregnancy?

Just curious.

I'm either pregnant or I ate way too much Burger King last month. Does that count?

Phantom pregnancy is a well known condition, although not common in women now that women in general have a better knowledge of the working of their bodies. The only people that suffer it now I think are men or women that have some psychologial disorder, like the women in the OP.

Female dogs experience it very often though. And that's true.

Nobody with the remotest medical, or even general knowledge should ever believe they could be carrying 12 babies, she was plainly delusional!

how could a man even think that he is pregnant ?
