Brazilian doctor performs C-section on woman with a phantom pregnancy. The most common symptom in a phantom pregnancy is an extended belly. This month an unnamed 37-year-old woman showed up at a womenâs clinic outside Rio de Janeiro with a melon-size belly and signs of labor, according to the Daily Mail. She was groaning and writhing in pain.
These symptoms can last for just a few weeks, for nine months, or even for several years. A very small percentage of patients with false pregnancy will arrive at the doctor's office or hospital with what feels like labor pains.omen with pseudocyesis have many of the same symptoms as those who are actually pregnant, including: 1  Interruption of the menstrual period. 2  Swollen belly. 3  Enlarged and tender breasts, changes in the nipples, and possibly milk production. 4  Feeling of fetal movements.
