Super Freakin' Creepy (kinda long)
I'm so freaked out right now. I have a friend at work who's sister is expecting her first baby. Throughout my pregnancy I've talked to the sister several times (she's due a week after me, also having a boy, and goes to the same doc, she even had her baby shower the same day as mine....so we have a lot in common). At any rate, I'm at work yesterday and my coworker comes to me and says she found out something about her sister that will blow my mind. She then proceeds to tell me that her sister is faking her pregnancy.
Apparently, this crazy woman has made the whole thing up. Her mother got suspicious when she found out the girl hadn't been to the doctor since August (she said it was because the doc's mom had been sick) and started digging around. She took the falsified U/S that this chick had made (yes...she even made a false u/s) to the doctor's office and found out that she hadn't been seen there since July '09. This woman has a mood disorder and her family talked to her counselor who said not to confront her about it because she may try to do something to herself. She's been lying to everyone (her DH included).
So, like I said, I'm totally freaked the fvck out. This is the stuff pregnant lady snatchers are made of. This woman knows where I work, hell, she even invited me to her shower, so she has my dang address. I told DH last night and all he could say was "Well, at least if she shows up with a baby everyone will know its not hers." I guess that's comforting and all, but jeez. I'm carrying my pepper spray from now on.

That's very creepy! If I were you, I would never answer my door if I were home alone. People are crazy!
I'm wondering though, if the family didn't confront her, what are they doing? Just waiting until her "due date" to see what happens?
I asked the same question. Are they just gonna wait until she shows up with someone else's kid? I'd think one would be proactive in a situation as such, but I'm no expert on crazy, so who knows?
Whoa! This is crazy!! Please, please be careful.
This may be a dumb question....but how does her DH not know that she isn't really pregnant?! My DH isn't always super savvy when it comes to pregnancy and such, but I am pretty sure he would realize if I was lying.
yikes, yeah the good news is even tho nobody is confronting her everybody knows the situation so I'm sure everybody will be on the lookout.
She's kind of a big girl anyway, but she told me her uterus is tilted back and that's why she isn't showing. This girl thought of everything.
Her DH MUST have known, I mean, you have to realize when you are married to a compulsive liar. And I don't care how far your uterus is "tilted" back, it pops out in front at about 12 weeks. No baby grows inside the body. People like this are seriously ill, I have known many compulsive liars and they will stop at nothing. I bet she was waiting till the end to tell everyone that her baby died, to soak up the sympathy.
I knew a girl who did this, she was pregnant with "twins" and one of the babies "died". Turns out, there was only one all along, according to her boyfriend, who was there for the birth and all. Seriously F'd up.
Sorry if this sounds crass... but wouldn't it be better to do something to herself than to some pregnant woman or possibly someone's baby?
That's what I thought about as I was reading. There are some sick, sick people out there.
I totally agree. I'd much rather her off herself!
That's insane! How do you hide that from your husband? Aren't these people tuned in?? My husband has come to every appointment and ultrasound and hears the heartbeat and can FEEL the baby moving around.
This just makes NO sense to me. We had a girl in our city who faked having cancer and she scammed people out of all this money. She did it to get attention but it 'went too far' and she even starved herself and shaved her head...at what point do you not say 'hmm...this is really wrong and effed up'.???
Seriously- that is a LONG time to hide such a big secret....are they that disconnected?
Seems like telling her mom not to confront her is a bad idea. Someone, a medical professional even should do something. Her counselor should be doing something too. I am pretty sure you should have to report that shiit to someone and lock the crazy lady up.
At some point she is going to get to the end of the pregnancy...how is she going to explain? If she is that mentally ill that she has concocted this big story she is going to get to the end of this and freak out and need a new plan. She could a) snatch a kid b) kill a woman for her kid (it does happen) c) tell another lie about the baby dying. Obviously the last option is not as bad as the first two, but these are the people that you see on Nancy Grace where the family knew but no one did anything and then some poor innocent family elsewhere had to suffer from it.
Not to mention is she so seriously ill that she herself actually believes she is truly pregnant? As in not coherent enough mentally to know that she is lying and planning and thinking up all this crazy stuff? Because if that is the case, that is a whole bag of really bad ticking time bomb crazy.
I would lock your door and stay away from this chick. She is clearly nuts.
