Author's Note:
There's no pictures but read it. Its interesting info.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

since I THINK that my hamster is pregnant, i went and read stuff about it online.
and this are the stuffs i found...
-
Try to handle her less often if you suspect a pregnancy.
You should change her wood shavings and give her some table scraps in the form of cooked chicken, fish or other sources of protein (not fried).
If your female is noticeably large around the abdomen, she is probably past her 11th day and will give birth within the week.
The gestation of the syrian hamster is one of the shortest of all mammals - 16 days.
The gestation of that of dwarfs is from 18-22 days.
-
She begins hoarding more food than usual
She begins reconditioning her nest (lining it with fresh, soft padding)
She may seem more nervous or jumpy
She may build a second nest -- a birthing area outside the enclosed sleeping area
Her growth increases quickly
Her stomach looks lumpy
-
And this is the most shocking info I found:-
-
Sometimes, a female hamster may show signs of being pregnant but never give birth.
This may happen for one of two reasons:
it may be a phantom pregnancy (not an actual pregnancy) or she may be unable to give birth.
A hamster who is unable to give birth will normally
reabsorb!!! the babies back into her system with no ill effects.
A female hamster who has either a phantom pregnancy
or reabsorbs a litter may go on to successfully bear a litter in the future.
-
wtf!! reabsorb??!!
-
-
Phantom pregnancies(Pseudocyesis) can actually happen to people as well
-
They will have pregnancy signs and symptoms.
These would include lethargy, nausea and vomiting, breast engorgement, increasing abdominal size(maybe bo pangsai. LOL) and absence of menstrual periods.
This usually happens to women who are absolutely convinced that they are pregnant.
-
Even a negative pregnancy test and a negative ultrasound scan are not sufficient to shake their belief. They will describe all the common experiences of a pregnant woman including fetal movements.
-
Pseudocyesis is uncommon but it is a condition that can affect a woman of any age even though it is more common for women in their 30s and 40s
-
there's a chinese phrase for it
'Xin Li Zuo Yong'
which means something like acting on what the heart wants
-
Example: if you keep thinking about it (usually a disesase) you may show the signs and symptoms of it.
-
you know how people are always get scared after they watch a ghost movie and if they're in the dark their imagination runs wild and their imagination could cause them to see or feel 'ghosts'
