Paul Servat, soon-to-be father, was a bundle of nerves as he took his pregnant girlfriend Barbara to the hospital as she was about to give birth.
Paul wasn’t just thrilled to welcome his first child, it turned out to be 5! His girlfriend was 9 months pregnant and her belly was ready to explode. Or so he thought.
When Paul finally met the midwife, the 35-year-old man was told that he was a victim of a cruel hoax.
“She let me pick the names,” Paul told The Daily Mail.
“I lost everything, it was my whole life.”
Paul Servat met his wife online. The two had an immediate connection that blossomed into a loving relationship.
After knowing each other for two months, Barbara revealed that she was pregnant. Paul was thrilled, he was finally going to be a dad!
Father of Quintuplets
When Barbara told Paul he was going to be a father of twins, his excitement doubled. But as her belly kept growing every day, a twin became a triplet, then a quadruplet, and finally even a quintuplet.
Paul was overwhelmed by this news, he couldn’t wait to see his children. He told his parents that they would be grandparents to five grandchildren. They were also overjoyed. Paul was so happy that he shared the news on social media.
A Montreal man who believed for months that he was going to be the father of quintuplets has spoken out about the moment…

Preparations
Paul set up the nursery with five beds. He received donations from local businesses that were more than happy to help the family prepare for the arrival of their quintuplets.
When it was finally time for his wife to give birth, he rushed her to the hospital.
Phantom Pregnancy
But all this anticipation would be replaced by a true shock. When the midwife came to take blood samples, she had a horrific message: There were no children. Even worse, it wasn’t that they had died or anything, no, there simply had never been any babies.
On the other hand, Barbara underwent a medical checkup to find out what had happened.
“She let me pick the names,” Paul told The Daily Mail.
“I lost everything, it was my whole life.”
How someone can do something so terrible to someone else is beyond imagination. According to some sources, some people suffer from the so-called “phantom pregnancy” syndrome, where they believe they are pregnant because they exhibit symptoms.
We can’t imagine how broken Paul must have been after hearing the truth. We hope he can find happiness again.
