Canadian woman deceives doulas with fake pregnancies, exposing the pitfalls of ‘believing women’.
Samantha’s First Client: A Tale of Deception and Betrayal
Samantha, a newly minted doula, received an intriguing message on Instagram. It was from Kaitlyn Braun, a 24-year-old woman who believed she was going into labor. The contractions were coming closer together, and Samantha knew she had to act fast.
Doulas, typically not formally trained in obstetrics, provide guidance and support to pregnant women during labor. It was unusual for Samantha to be called in so early, but Braun’s circumstances were unique. She had discovered her pregnancy late and it was the result of a sexual assault. Sensing Braun’s fear and reluctance to ask for help, Samantha immediately rushed to her aid.
Braun hesitated, feeling guilty for inconveniencing Samantha. But Samantha reassured her and drove straight to Braun’s home. The evidence seemed to support Braun’s claims of pregnancy – baby clothes, a car seat, and other essentials were scattered throughout her apartment.
As hours passed, Braun’s condition worsened. Samantha suspected her water had broken and urged her to go to the hospital. However, Braun’s mother resisted. Worried about a potential infection, Samantha sought advice from the hospital and was instructed to bring Braun in immediately. Despite Braun’s protests, Samantha convinced her to go.
But the journey to the hospital was far from smooth. Braun broke down, pleading with Samantha to abandon her. Samantha reached out to her mentor for guidance, who managed to persuade Braun to continue to the hospital. However, once there, Braun refused to leave the car, forcing Samantha to involve the hospital staff.
Braun’s situation became increasingly perplexing. She questioned whether her water had truly broken or if it was something else entirely. Samantha complied with Braun’s wishes and drove her back home. Braun then asked Samantha to be present at the hospital when she eventually went into labor.
Days later, Braun contacted Samantha again, claiming to be in labor. Samantha repeated the process of driving Braun to the hospital and convincing her to seek medical attention. However, an obstetrician quickly shattered Braun’s pregnancy illusion – there was no baby, only an IUD in her uterus.
Braun’s deceit didn’t end there. She continued to manipulate and deceive numerous doulas, spinning elaborate tales of stillbirths, sexual assault, and life-threatening illnesses. The doulas, who had their identities protected, offered support and guidance, unaware of the web of lies they were entangled in.
Eventually, Braun’s fabrications began to unravel. Doulas started sharing their stories online, helping others realize they too had been deceived. Braun’s actions left a trail of trauma and devastation in her wake.
In March, Braun was charged with multiple counts of fraud, sexual assault, and harassment. The doulas who fell victim to her schemes were left traumatized, their trust shattered. Justice is now being sought for the pain and suffering inflicted by Braun’s elaborate charade.
The story of Samantha’s first client serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the lengths some individuals will go to deceive and manipulate others. It also highlights the resilience and strength of the doula community, who continue to support and empower pregnant women despite the actions of a few.
