and other stuff for the kung tuplets it's not every day we encounter someone pregnant with five babies therefore barbara and paul's story caught the community's eye the entire quebec was excited for

joy the day they had been waiting for was finally here on arriving at the hospital barbara was rushed to the delivery room it was there that the couple was hoping to hold their five children for the first time unfortunately what they received was terrible news barbara and paul were not prepared for what was about to happen on arrival at the hospital barbara had one last scan the staff had some shocking news for the couple a nurse called paul aside and broke the news it turns out that there wasn't any record of barbara's pregnancy the nurse showed him the blood test that confirmed barbara was never pregnant from the onset paul was extremely distressed by the information how come barbara was never pregnant none of this made sense to paul for the last nine months his girlfriend had shown all the signs of a pregnant woman from gaining weight to lactation and morning sickness everything pointed toward pregnancy could it be that barbara had convinced herself that she was pregnant barbara might have had a condition known as phantom pregnancy or pseudocyesis it occurs when women show symptoms of an actual pregnancy that even doctors can mistake for a real pregnancy was this the case or had she lied about expecting babies paul was unaware of the truth at this point he was devastated to find out that he wouldn't be receiving even one baby let alone five he contacted the friend that had helped the couple set up the facebook page the friend narrates that paul was crying when he called her she says that paul was confused and couldn't believe that he had been building upon a lie for all these months his life had changed in the blink of an eye he had lost everything and didn't know how to move forward his hopes of becoming a loving dad to five kids were nothing more than a dream to make matters worse paul now was required to return the donations the couple had received from well-wishers a local policeman by the name sergeant luke togas said that nobody had filed a criminal complaint yet sergeant luke explained that while there are monetary losses they cannot charge the couple because paul is returning the donation he said that once paul returned everything and barbara was established to have a mental illness he would expect that the well-wishers would let go when the friend received the call from paul she updated on the facebook donations page about the phantom pregnancy she assured everyone that they would be sending back the gifts so that the well-wishers can send them to other worthy causes during an interview on the qmi agency paul defended himself saying that he was a good man and had nothing to do with the lies he couldn't understand why someone he loved deeply would make a fool out of him what paul didn't know was that more surprises were on the way after the entire ordeal barbara stayed in the hospital and underwent a psychological evaluation after a few tests she started receiving psychiatric care it was evident that barbara was suffering from a mental related condition according to ctv news paul said that he had broken up with barbara the entire community was in shock after discovering the quintuplet story was a lie they couldn't believe that barbara was not pregnant at all the town was eager to welcome a set of quintuplets and sadly their hopes were crushed doctors suspected that barbara had experienced phantom pregnancy the condition occurs when a woman displays the symptoms of pregnancy because she has a strong desire to be pregnant the symptoms include missing periods weight gain morning sickness and the perception of fetal movements barbara showed many of these symptoms during her pregnancy what paul couldn't understand was whether his girlfriend made this up or she was a rare case of phantom pregnancy when the story exploded more facts about barbara started coming up qmi interviewed her previous boyfriend and he talked about how barbara had made him believe that she was pregnant with twins while she wasn't the boyfriend explained how barbara took extreme measures to raise money for non-existent babies barbara's relatives confessed that this wasn't the first time their kin was claiming to be pregnant while she wasn't however they didn't think she would do it again because every time it ended badly the family revealed that barbara once claimed to have leukemia among many other false afflictions barbara did not only fool her boyfriend but she also made fun of the entire quebec community who gave her countless donations genevieve love flamet was from the district and she had given birth to triplets when she heard about barbara's story genevieve befriended barbara because she wanted to help a fellow mom that was expecting multiple babies miss laflamme gave her tips on how to handle the pregnancy she even told her where she could receive financial support and sponsors for diapers and other essentials however genevieve laflamme admits that she realized a few strange things as barbara and genevieve's friendship grew stronger she noticed that barbara's ultrasounds picked up on the quintuplets quite late she found this odd because doctors picked up on such things early in the pregnancy genevieve couldn't comprehend how come barbara didn't feel the need to rest during her final trimester genevieve revealed these things to paul after the news broke out the two continue to look for clues that would bring the truth closer for instance how come paul never accompanied barbara to the doctor's checkups also why did the baby's count get to five with every checkup every discussion brought the truth closer before they knew it evidence pointing toward barbara faking the pregnancy was piling up paul admitted that he never met the family during an interview with qmi agency barbara's relatives said that she had cut ties with them in the past months considering what she was up to it was clear that barbara didn't want her relatives to find out she was playing her favorite game barbara's family was glad that she was getting psychiatric care paul loved barbara a lot but there was no way he was going to trust her enough to start a new life together paul remained a good man through the entire experience and continued returning the donations after returning all the gifts paul now lives a quiet life by himself all paul wants is to move on with his life he wants to get over the hurt that barbara put him through everyone agreed that they shouldn't blame paul we wish him all the happiness that life has to offer
