Thank you for your question, I will be glad to assist you.
I would like to verify some information, and get some new information if you do not mind.
Do you know how far along she is?
How long ago did one twin die?(how far along was she?)
When is she supposed to be put into labor for removal of the deceased? (or has this procedure supposedly been completed?)
Has anyone accompanied her to the doctor for prenatal visits?
Has anyone seen sonogram pics, or know for sure she was really pregnant with twins?
Has she had trouuble with lying before she became pregnant?
Is she on any medications?
Does she have any illnesses?
I await your response. Thank you
Do you know how far along she is? she dhould be due NOW it was Nov 2007 when she first said she's pregnant
How long ago did one twin die?(how far along was she?)about a month ago maybe a month and a half
When is she supposed to be put into labor for removal of the deceased? (or has this procedure supposedly been completed?) within a couple of days after being told one died
my son has went with her but I don't know if he actually got to talk to the doctor. She refers to it as "MY baby"
Has anyone seen sonogram pics, or know for sure she was really pregnant with twins? no, I don't think so
nothing that we could prove to be a lie - several things that we do still have questions about.
Is she on any medications? no
Does she have any illnesses? she says she is diabetic but the sugar she uses in coffee and tea as well as the sweet junk food constantly says not diabetic to me
On Friday she said she went to doctor - he told her she needed to be on bed rest but Saturday things were back to 'her' normal. This has been the latest (this past Friday the 22nd) She is driving me mad with the things she says and we all just need to know what is the truth. I don't know what to beleive - please help. Thank you
Hello again, and thankyou for the additional information.
No labor is not started and then stopped to remove the twin that is deceased. The twin will be delivered when labor begins for the live baby. It is usually considered unsafe to remove one fetus, because the risk of bacteria entering and causing an infection is very high. Then this will pose risks for the mother and the live fetus as well. Sometimes when one fetus dies, it could trigger labor, and the mother may miscarry both babies, or deliver the live one early. Depending on how early, the live twin may survive. It is possible to surgically remove the deceased fetus, however if there are no problems, the dead fetus will remain with the live until delivery of both.

Pregnancy is not going to cause her to lie compulsively. Moods change when one becomes pregnant due to hormones, but it will not cause one to lie. It is likely you are being lied to , but it may also simply be that not everyone has all of the facts straight, and there may be some mis communication going on here. If she is a frequent liar, it may have become a habit for her. Also sometimes people tell one lie, then the lie becomes bigger, and they feel they have to keep it going. She may also be lacking attention, and makes these stories up to get attention she may need . It is hard to say why she is lying, but the best thing may be to confront her about her lies, in a nice manner, and find out if there is something else going on here. She likely has anxiety and maybe even depression from the pregnancy, and this may make her more likely to lie or be accepted. I feel you need to calmly and openly discuss this with her. Be a support system, that may be what she needs. She may benefit from seeking help with a psychologist as well. Here is another article you may find useful about telling lies. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A996942 Thank you, and best wishes.
