Pseudopregnancy detection is significant while as the false pregnancy may show all symptoms. It is important to differentiate it. This is a case report of a pseudopregnancy which led to an emergency cesarean section. A 28-year-old woman who claimed to 7-month pregnancy was brought to the rural health center by husband families complaining of vaginal bleeding. The woman refers to an urban hospital by Emergency Medical Service with the diagnosis of placenta previa. In the hospital, she underwent an emergency cesarean section due to a severe deceleration of fetal heart rate, prior to assessing by sonography. No fetus or signs of uterine or abdominal pregnancy were found. Wrong auscultation of the mother's heart rate instead of fetal heart rate seems to be the main error. It is required to pay more attention to the methods of differentiation of fetal heart rate from the mother's heart rate. This report enlightens false pregnancy and early differentiation.

New Perspective

Building on Fielding’s idea of escalator regions as places where young people migrate (often temporarily) to get rapid career advancement, this paper proposes a new perspective on 'escalator migration' as it applies to frontier or remote regions in particular. Life events, their timing and iterations have changed in the thirty years since Fielding first coined the term ‘escalator region’, with delayed adulthood, multiple career working lives, population ageing and different dynamics between men and women in the work and family sphere. The object of this paper is to examine recent migration trends to Australia's Northern Territory for evidence of new or emerging 'escalator migrants'.
