I was wondering the same thing. I hope that all these meanies haven't discouraged her from telling us whats going on. Don't worry us! How did it all go? How are the baby/ies?

I never said she was lieing about being pregnant... I just think that its kinds strange. I honestly belive she really thinks she is pregnant but I also belive that it's all a mental pregnancy that she has taken way over board.

I agree with rubmybuddahbelly, I did very much believe fatfamily but its been how long and still no answer on what it is.. If they did an us I think she they would find something by now and especially if there were two babies and for how far along she supposedly is..

Yes, at 6-7 months along in a pregnancy with twins, you can easily see the babies. You can see them at 5 weeks, like my sister in law did. When fatfamily says that they (the medical professionals) dont see her babies, I believe what she means is that god, is not allowing them to see the babies.

Well, I have read up on your "false pregnancy" theory and I do not match that criterior(sp) either--not at all. And why if I was imagining this pregnancy--why would I imagine pains, and so much gut wrenching agony??? I do still feel 2 different bodies, 2 different masses(if you will) in my abdomen--they still move although it is gettin really hard for them to move as freely now. I told the "unbelieveing " .Dr that if she didnt get to the bottom of this I was gonna call a lawyer. Just because they were lookin inside my abdomen doesnt mean they found everything that was in there. They were .N.E.V.E.R lookin for a baby--so how could they find it. And in my pelvic u/s there is a lot of stuff in there that wasnt there before--but they wouldnt look at my old u/s to verify changes although I asked them to 3 different times. So how do they know, what has changed--they dont???




Every morning when I get up one baby is pushing so hard up into my ribcage that it makes my heart beat in my head. The one on the back side can hardly move now, because he is pressed between my ribs and my back bone. Feels like it will bust out anyday.

I told her this is very dangerous and she had better get to it really soon. She did do the progestrone, and maternal alpha fetoprotein tests, which I have asked for, for 4 months. I asked for a single body shot .M.R.I, or a single shot x-ray, she is awaiting the hormone test results.



So believe what you want, I understand it makes no sense to the "unspiritual" person. But it is still just as real as it was before, undenyable if you lived in my body. Believe me you would know too. And I still believe .God is preventing them from knowing.

Hello
Ok, fat- family I here what you say... But as far along as you are and your almost due with these twins, what is going to happen in the end when it time to deliver, your almost there, and what is going to become of this matter. I hope these doctors are not ginney pigging you, their are out there they will do it , if their saying to you their not seeing anything . Its very strange and im really worried for you . I dont know what they have in mind, but it seems like their doing something with you , but not in the right way. Its seeks very unlikley here that they have told you that your not, I think they are exsperimenting on you, it sounds crazy but I think its true. What do you think ladies? Is possibly true? Im really scared for her. :cry:

It's unlikely that a doctor will perform an mri on a pregnant woman. Especially during the first trimester. Which it's obvious you are not, but the point is that it's not common practice to expose the baby to an mri.
It's very unlikely that a doctor would do an xray on a pregnant woman in any stage of her pregnancy. Xrays are known to cause miscarriages, birth defects, and early childhood cancers when performed on a pregnant woman.

What did you mean when you said during your pelvic ultrasound there was a lot of "stuff" that wasn't there before? There is no better way of viewing the contents of the uterus than a pelvic u/s. I think if you were having twins, and you were 6-7 months along (which is usually when you start preparing for delivery with twins because it's almost inevitable that twins are born early), they would certainly know with a pelvic.

Do you watch when they perform the ultrasounds?

The day of the u/s the baby's were so far up in my rib cage I was in severe pains. There is no uterus, so they are not in my uterus. So pelvic dont neccessarily mean anything. Only 16-32% of u/s confirms abdominal pregnancy--quoted from medical journals on the internet.




And what about this woman--is this x-ray or mri--(it was a full body u/s, but I did not get that kind at all--it was totally different than that)
go down view pictures!


This lady had 3 u/s never knew until labor started that she had baby in abdomen--instead of uterus.

Ok fat family I really really dont try to be mean to you when I post things. But to find an actuall baby in a woman you really dont have to look that hard exspecially when there are 2 growing in there. I honestly think you should really get some help cause your only hurting yourself. Its wonderful you have so much faith in god but you really need to open your eyes to reality. Your at least 35 to 37 weeks right now ( which normally is due time for most to all twins). So its really to full grown ( almost ) babies in ur belly. For one I saw your pics and you should be alot bigger then what you are, not saying im fully going on that. But also there should be some sort of sign that theres something in there. Something could be life threatning going on in there you never know. Dont go in and tell the doctors they dont know what they are talking about and they just cant see it cause god dosent want them to. Cause it really makes you sound a little crazy. I think you should maybe go to a different doctor explain your situation to him/her and see a phsycatrist ( excuse the spelling please. ) I really hope all the best for you and dont think im bashing on you or talking down on your belifes or anything. I just really hope you take what I say into consideration. Another thing dont read storys on the internet and try to make that what your going threw cause thats adding on to your mental umm episode so be it.

Hey joanna,

sorry if i'm sounding like a broken record, but when is your next appointment? If I were you, I would absolutely demand and mri or x-ray. Yes, they normally don't want to do any type of scans on pregnant women, but since the doctors don't believe you, I don't see why they would have any problems doing them.

All the best.

Strange Things
Although all of this is really hard to swallow, strange things happen. The story I am going to relate is by no means meant to imply drug use. My best friend's sister got pregnant in college about three years back. Her bf was a drug dealer, we found out later, and she had gotten involved with some harsh drugs. Anyway, she had no idea she was pregnant for eleven months! Due to the drug use, the baby had only developed to the equlivalent of a 12 week embryo. She was having stomach cramps and went to the doctor. She had to go out of state to get a abortion as they had to induce labor and deliver the unborn baby which was alive but not at all developed. Our state does not allow partial birt abortions even in this type of circumstance. She had to go to kansas, I believe. No one could believe that a baby could be in there for 11 months and not develope. She was devestated. So, strange things do happen. Even though I find this all extremely hard to imagine I do hope you get the help you need no matter what is going on. Since the type of pregnancy you are suggesting is very very rare and usually does not have a happy ending I wish you the best of luck.

Speakin of carrying over due. I heard this story one time from a christian lady from china. I dont remember her name, but she got a promise from .God to have her baby in free china, not behind the wall. And she carried her baby either 11 or 12 months. She did prison time for her husband--something about being a spy--so she waited til they set her free to have her baby. The story was made into a movie and aired on .T.B.N. She also went before a firing squad some time during this ordeal and all of the bullets missed her. When they went to fire on her a "light" shined out of the heavens and blinded them all. She was never put up to the firing squad again.

You said you have no uterus? It's physically impossible to carry a baby without a uterus. Maybe i'm misunderstanding? You said "there is no uterus". What?!?!
