CSI & False Pregnancy
Published Friday, October 14, 2005 by the Stewart | E-mail this post
Instead of doing my homework this afternoon, I was watching some old re-runs of CSI -- Season 3, to be exact. I started watching one episode, number 312, called "Got Murder?" and right away I remembered seeing it on TV. And I also remember it being one of the more disturbing ones. In the end, we find out that this teenage girl was in love with her dad (her mom had left some years ago and she sort of "took over" the job) and had been showing signs of being pregnant. She was telling them that her dad had done it. So they checked it out. And she turned out to be a virgin. They figured out that she had "
Pseudocyesis" - False Pregnancy. Apparently, or so they said, the person would give off the
signs of pregnancy without actually
being pregnant. So, being the curious fellow I am, I looked it up. Turns out it's
a real condition. Like I said, messed up.
Just thought I'd share...
