Upgrade: Certainly, as some of you have already commented, this news is false. A joke that we wanted to publish yesterday on the occasion of April Fools' Day. I hope you took it with humor.
We often tell you news of those that you say “this only happens in America,” as is the case, and others in which we also say that health professionals sometimes, instead of helping, seem to spoil the issue more.
This is what happened at the Mountainside Hospital in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, where 5 days ago a woman came with a psychological pregnancy, explaining that he had clear symptoms of childbirth, and the doctors ended up doing a cesarean because he did not dilate.
Now, as is logical, the case is being investigated because the non-mother's family has reported to the hospital after having performed an unnecessary caesarean section, since there was no baby to remove from the uterus.
Psychological pregnancy, strange but possible
Psychological pregnancy is a strange psychological disorder, but that It may occur in some women whose desire to have a child is very high, and that is usually associated with states of depression and infertility (take several years trying to have children).
It is said that a woman suffers a psychological pregnancy, also called a utopian pregnancy, when the woman has all or several symptoms of pregnancy, including the growth of the uterus or the production of milk, without really having a pregnancy.
In this specific case, the disorder became so obvious that the woman actually came to believe that she was pregnant, even going to the hospital to give birth, showing the typical symptoms (or explaining them) of when you are going to give birth.
However, it did not dilate
However, despite thinking she was pregnant and making everyone believe she was, his cervix must not have believed that of pregnancy and childbirth, because he flatly refused to dilate.
The doctors made several touches while the woman waited for the moment of giving birth and seeing that the delivery was not progressing and that the woman became increasingly nervous they decided to perform a caesarean section.
The doctors' face, realizing that there was no baby, must have been a poem, something like a "swallow land", adding to the (stupid insurance) feeling of having done something easily avoidable with a simple ultrasound.
Inexplicable
So it is a totally inexplicable case. During pregnancy they sew you to tests, ultrasounds and controls, looking at the millimeter the grams you have taken and measuring at the millimeter the kilos that your baby will weigh. Then you get to give birth and it turns out that there are doctors who are not capable, perhaps due to lack of time, perhaps due to lack of desire, to do an ultrasound to see how the matter is.
As we have said, they opened the uterus to a woman who was not pregnant and, as usually happens in America, the family denounced the Hospital for not having realized that the pregnancy was psychological, that the caesarean section was not necessary and that now it is woman He will carry a scar on the belly of a son who was never born and never gestured for the rest of his life.
