Pregnancy denial: what are the symptoms?

Pregnancy denial: a phenomenon that is still poorly explained, yet very real. Are there any signs that can be used to detect it?


Some women who are in pregnancy denial have no symptoms at all. Sometimes they even continue to have their periods every month, but psychologically they are convinced that they are not pregnant.


We know that there is partial and total denial.


  • In the first case, women eventually admit the reality.
  • In the second case, some women may go so far as to justify the swelling of the belly by saying they have renal colitis or even gastroenteritis.
