She is 19. I talked to her dad and told what all she had told me when I asked her these questions. Needless to say he was CRUSHED... How can somebody go this long and let the ones that are closest to her think that in 9 months they will be holding 2 babies let alone 1!!! It makes me sick! She knows that ppl are thinking she is lying but instead of telling the truth she digs her hole even deeper! I told her dad that she needs to be watched very carefully in hopes that she doesn't do something to make her lie true! I feel for all the preg women anywhere near her. I don't think she would hurt anybody but then again I never dreamed she would do what she is doing! She was asked yesterday when she was having them and again she says THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE. As far as the BIG ol belly goes she had one of those to start with but has LOST weight so she says!!!!! Thanks for the replies!
I'm with most of the above. It's time for an intervention before she does something dangerous. Like specialmom said 36 weeks is considered full term for twins...40 weeks is usually a blessing. (I had twins at 36 weeks 1 day)
I had u/s's once a month starting at 13 weeks, monthly appointments till 24 weeks, bi weekly appointments until 28 weeks than weekly appointments with weekly baby stress tests weekly. Not to mention the weight gain. Women pregnant with twins are supposed to gain 30-50 lbs if your not underweight or overweight. So it's a BIG ol' belly.
Talk to your parent related to hers and have them stop this before she does do something crazy.
Yeah, this sounds way past the get attention phase to me. Sounds downright dangerous! I am not sure who, but someone needs to be monitoring the situation. OMG, what if she did try to steal a baby? She sounds desperate.
I agree with SpecialMom.
This is the kind of woman who abducts someone else's baby or worse cuts it out of their uterus.
It sounds to me that this is a grown woman, seeking alot of attention. Even though she is your cousin, I would not get involved. You know the truth. I'm sure alot of other people are thinking the same. You don't want to start a family war by opening your mouth. So, just sit back and watch it unfold naturally. Like specialmom said, you can address your concerns to your parents, but that's as far as you should go. This way, your parents can consult her father, who like you said, will be extremely crushed about the situation when the truth comes out. It's obvious that this woman is looking for some sort of justification for her own unhappiness. The best thing you can do, is stand by her and offer support, because she is definitely going to need it when this all blows up.
Good grief. How old is this girl? Yes, to be honest---------- she sounds dangerous. I'd speak to your parent that is related to her parent. Whether it is your mom or dad----- they need to speak to her parents. The charade is over to most I am sure and everyone is probably wondering what to do. Gestation is 40 weeks and some women will go to 42 but that is highly unlikely with twins-------- 36 weeks is considered full term for twins.
The complete charade with showers and continuous fake doctor's appointments and hospital visits does sound delusional. I am guessing a psychiatric issue. She is enjoying the attention and will do anything to get it. If she actually had a child----- beware of a syndrome in which someone intentionally hurts or sickens their child to get attention.
I don't know how involved you should get but her parents need to address this with her husband and then her. She needs help.
