A woman rushed to the hospital thinking she was about to give birth — but what doctors removed wasn’t a baby. It was a 10-pound ovarian cyst.
She had no idea it had been growing inside her. The symptoms were nearly identical to pregnancy: a swollen belly, missed periods, and even labor-like pains.
Cases like this aren’t as rare as you’d think. Across the U.S., women have shown up expecting to deliver a baby—only to discover a large tumor instead.
The takeaway? Never skip your checkups. What seems like pregnancy could be something far more serious. Always listen to your body — and let a doctor confirm what’s really going on.
