Woman faked being pregnant with quins
A Chinese woman has admitted she faked being pregnant with quintuplets to please her husband.
Qiao Yubo, 23, of Songyuan city, Jilin province, became quite a star in the Chinese media for her pregnancy.
But she was exposed as a fake when a doctor called at her home to do a check-up and she ran away, reports Xinhua News.
“The pregnant mom jumped from a window and ran away,” says Mr Li, president of Changchun Puji Hospital.
Qiao later admitted she had stuffed clothes under her dress to fake her pregnancy to please her husband, Liu Defu, who had been in a car crash.
“I miscarried my twins after I fell down on the way to my mom’s home, and I dared not tell this to my husband, who had had his leg fractured in a car accident,” she said.
Before the truth emerged, Liu said he had believed his wife really was pregnant with quintuplets.
“An old lady on the street volunteered to feel my wife’s pulse, and told me that she was pregnant with quins. Since I knew she had twins, I assumed she’d gotten three more,” he said.
“Since I knew she was pregnant with multiples, I dared not touch her, even in sleep.”
Liu has now forgiven his wife: “She was taking care of me when I was injured, and she didn’t want me to get hurt again by learning about the miscarriage,” he said.
