A WOMB OF ILLUSION

This client of mine strolled into my office the other day, looking big Infront,not giving that happy pregnant vibes I was expecting 🙂. So I got into a conversation with her . " They have finally succeeded 🥺,they keep eating all my babies,It has always been a miscarriage and now a protruded stomach without a baby in it 😭😭😭". Hmmmmm, earnestly I didn't know how to start comforting her because the pains of loosing a child 🤦🤦. " You just said you had a series of miscarriages,test strip proves positive but scan proves negative?", I asked to confirm my instincts. " Yes😭😭😭.What on earth can explain that rather than the hand work of my wicked mother inlaw ",she wailed . Then it dawned on me, She was suffering from PSEUDOCYTOSIS. A psychological sickness that happens to women ,most especially those who suffer a series of miscarriages. It comes as a result of overthinking and imagining that you are pregnant therefore causing the brain to trigger the release of Pregnancy hormones which leads to pregnancy symptoms like protruded belly, early morning sickness ,etc. How do I tell this client of mine whose is deeply rooted in African culture and believes that there's no witch eating her children without hot slap ?😭😭😭😭😭
