Boyfriend devastated by 'phantom' quintuplet pregnancy
A Quebec woman had her entire town believing she was pregnant and expecting quintuplets, convincing many to open their hearts -- and wallets -- to help her but problem was, not only were there no quintuplets, there was no pregnancy at all, reported Canada-based ctvnews.ca.
CTV news reported that the woman had told her boyfriend she was pregnant about a month after they met on an online dating site. At first, she said she was expecting twins. Then it changed to triplets and then quadruplets.
The community of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu rallied around the expectant couple and the expecting father created a Facebook page to keep family and community members up to date.
But the whole story fell apart Tuesday when the woman's boyfriend took her to hospital for her delivery at 34 weeks. Paul was informed his girlfriend was not pregnant at all and had either faked or imagined the whole thing.
The woman is currently undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, which is why CTV News has decided not to identify her.
Medical specialists say “phantom pregnancies” are not unheard of. Dr. Haim Abenhaim, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital, says there are two types of so-called phantom pregnancies documented in medical literature, the report said.
