Q&A for How to Fake Pregnancy

I wouldn't recommend using a pillow at all because it will look lumpy and unreal.

What happens when anyone gets caught will vary. A young, mentally unstable girl of 14 will be treated differently than a 35-year-old woman who knew exactly what she she was doing. If you fake a pregnancy as a form of fraud, you may be prosecuted. If your life is such that faking pregnancy seems like a good idea, you most definitely shouldn't adopt a child.

Be there for her. She needs your support.

Some people want attention, or they want themselves to feel like it's happening to them when it is really not. They might need to know for a play or movie, if they're acting. Or, perhaps it's just something for fun between a couple, who might want to know what it feels like one day.

This is more likely to happen than many people think. If your partner assumes you are pregnant, he may want to have sex without using contraception. If you refuse, you'll be found out, so you take a chance, and you get pregnant. You can claim that you went into labor late if your baby is born after your fake baby would have been. You also could say you were mistaken previously, but now you really are pregnant. Or, say that you wanted a baby so much you faked it, but, are now thrilled to be pregnant.

I hate to ruin your plans, but faking a pregnancy is a terrible way to try to get a boyfriend. Most men are not looking to start a relationship with a newly pregnant woman.

Say you felt twinges, and that you had a period really bad but the baby wasn't moving. You could say that you fell over because that stimulates miscarriages. Lastly, you could also say that you went to the doctor, and she or he said you've lost the baby.

You could, but you shouldn't. Not only would it be unrealistic and unbelievable, but you shouldn't try to grow up so quickly. Enjoy being a kid before you worry about making more kids!

It's time to come clean. Having a miscarriage at 8 months is incredibly rare and a bit dangerous, so just saying you had a miscarriage isn't going to work, especially if you're going out drinking the next day and don't have the post-pregnancy stomach. Time to come clean and admit to your lies.

Yes. A miscarriage can happen at any stage in pregnancy, and for some women, it's very common to miscarry in the first trimester.

No. That would be violating state law. But you can find a squirrel ultrasound online and use that instead.

Tell him the truth, obviously. You won't do him, your relationship, or yourself any favors by continuing to lie. Come clean and tell him why you lied and face the consequences.

Then call it off, or maybe say that you think you are, and if you have a guy friend, have them play the 'father' figure and tell your parents he will fully support the baby. But if they take you to the doctor, call it off, and say it was fake, that you just wanted to see what they would do if you really were pregnant.

It may, though you might have trouble keeping the ball in the right place.

If you have any valid reason for faking a pregnancy to your partner, and that person still wants to have sex with you, there isn't anything you should do besides tell the truth. Your only other option is to have sex anyway and hope they don't notice. If having sex will reveal your lack of baby bump, simply tell your partner you're too tired or too nauseous to have sex.

You could, but it seems a pretty immature thing to do. If you're over 40, you should know better.

Several online stores sell silicone models, or try a Halloween store. Do not necessarily go for the cheapest one though. People might suspect that you're faking if the belly looks lumpy or unnatural.

Sure, but why would you?

Some people fake a pregnancy as a prank, such as for April Fool's Day, or as a joke. Some others may do it as revenge for a prank played on them.

Usually falling can stimulate a miscarriage. Then you just need to say that the doctor confirmed that you lost the baby.

You can't. At that point, it's time to come clean or adopt a baby.

For a theatrical production, a video or an extremely elaborate prank, possibly.

Usually, you do not find out you are pregnant within three weeks. You would miss a period the week after that, and being "late" is usually the first sign to suspect a pregnancy. If you say you are pregnant too early, people may suspect you're faking. It is much easier to wait until about 8-10 weeks and then describe a miscarriage: bleeding, doc said you lost the baby.

Put more layers on under your clothes and do your best to wear jackets.

Usually you should start showing symptoms in 8 weeks. That's when most pregnant woman show vomiting and fatigue.

The only solution is to come clean. Your boyfriend will still be upset, but there's no getting around that at this point. And if he wants to cheat on you over this, you should probably just break up. It sounds like this is a very dysfunctional relationship that isn't good for either one of you.

Yes, you can.

No one should fake a pregnancy, especially not someone so young. Please do not do this.

The Lina Medina case is a medical marvel - an extremely rare case. If the "you" in question is not menstruating (has not gotten her first period), she cannot get pregnant.

It's bad. Abortion is a very sensitive topic for many people, and you would risk upsetting a lot of people severely with this "joke."
