A Jacksonville mom said her daughter, age 11, was the target of a nasty rumor in school after her tummy kept getting bigger. But it wasn't a baby, reports First Coast News in Jacksonville.

Even though pregnancy test results had ruled out that possibility, Janet Roberts' daughter's tummy kept getting bigger and bigger.

The 'pregnancy' turned out to be a 19-pound tumor growing inside her body, her mom told First Coast news.
