An ambassador had been sent to tell the Pope that Mary could feel the new life within her, and the people rushed to St.Paul's Cathedral to listen to the venerable Archbishop of Canterbury describe the baby-prince and give thanks for his deliverance.

The spurious labor pains passed away, and after being assured that no real pregnancy existed in her case, Mary went into violent hysterics, and Philip, disgusted with the whole affair, deserted her; then commenced the persecution of the Protestants, which blighted the reign.
Putnam cites the case of a healthy brunet, aged forty, the mother of three children.

She had abrupt vertical abdominal movements, so strong as to cause her to plunge and sway from side to side.

Her breasts were enlarged, the areolae dark, and the uterus contained an elastic tumor, heavy and rolling under the hand.

Her abdomen progressively enlarged to the regular size of matured gestation; but the extrauterine pregnancy, which was supposed to have existed, was not seen at the autopsy, nothing more than an enlarged liver being found.
