Barbara Bienvenue, 37, announced her new boyfriend, Paul Servat (35), that she is pregnant and he was in ninth heaven. He was more than ready to start his own family.
The two live in Canada and were both very happy, but then, a few months later, returning from the hospital where she said she had just had an ultrasound, the woman announced to her life partner that they would have 5 twins. The man could not be happier.
The families of both were announced, they were all delighted with the big family they will have, they made her pregnancy even an event on Facebook, they also made her a page where everyone interested in her multiple pregnancies could receive the latest information. . Soon people started donating money and objects needed to the children to prepare the two for their 5 lives.
The woman told the man to choose the 5 names of the children.
When she was 34 weeks old, Servat took the woman to give birth, but there they received the terrible news: Bienvenue will not give birth to 5 children because she was not even pregnant. Servat was shocked, how could she falsify her own pregnancy?
It turned out that she was not registered at the hospital with even a visit related to the pregnancy and it seems that everything was a simple fantasy on the part of the woman. The doctors explained to the man that his partner suffers from pseudocyesis, or phantom pregnancy, which has many of the symptoms of normal pregnancy.
Even more shocking was Servat when a relative of the woman announced that she had done the same thing with her ex-boyfriend, a few years ago. The man, desperate, confessed in an interview: “I lost everything, it was my whole life.”
