    I agree with dn mommy. I would take her to the hospital with or without her co operation. If she really won't go I would call out someone to see her. I agree somehting really doesn't seem right, and I would tell the dr/hospital staff you are concerned if she actually is pregnant or is going through some kind of episode.

    I miscarried at 12 weeks and the er sent me home and I had to go back because I had lost too much blood and my doc told me I should never have left. Also I work in a mental health clinic and this sounds a little odd. I would take her to the er as soon as possible its for her mental well being as well as you and your kids.

    That is nuts. Either your friend is on drugs or the doctor is. I delivered a baby at 20 weeks. He was not alive, but he was fully formed and we held him. There is no way this is OK.

    Makes no sense she needs to be seen. I had a stillborn at 23 weeks and the baby actually hasto be delivered.theres no way around it.its about the size of a pound of cheese you can't just pass that at home and I was kept in hospital until next day. Please convince her to see someone else.that can kill her if it goes untreated.best wishes!

    I think you have the right idea about her lying.

    I lost a baby at 19 weeks and
    It required hospital stay (among other things).

    At 23 weeks a D&C is not possible and
    You don't just simply pass and discard a developed dead baby at home.

    I agree, I think there is something wrong with your girlfriend mentaly and especially if she has a habit of lying... I just hope it all works out for you

    That is crap I hate Drs ever since I had a miscarriage with my son at 25.6 weeks. The nurse was going to send me to Brisbane hospital but the DR came in and said don't bother. She left him inside of me with no water inside over night. Every contraction I got squished his lungs. When I first arrived his heartbeat was perfect I had to give birth to him for 12h all to have him to take his last breaths in my arms.

    Are you for 100% she was really pregnant? No to make it seem like she would makes such a thing up but none of this sounds right at all.
