According to reports the Tunisian woman who claimed to be pregnant with 12 babies has been exposed as a fraud and has gone into hiding.

Health officials from the Ministry of Public Health in Tunisia have investigated the woman’s claims and have reported that she is a fraud. A spokesperson says that the woman has “psychological problems and “is unlikely to even be pregnant.”

“Our staff interviewed her at length, but even her pregnancy appears to be in her imagination.” the spokesperson added. “She’s claiming to be nine months pregnant with six boys and six girls, but there’s absolute nothing about her appearance which indicates this. The woman has refused point blank to undergo a medical examination. Now we can’t even contact her. She’s gone into hiding.”

The 34-year-old woman, who is only identified as A.F. announced the pregnancy with her husband earlier this week, calling it an “absolute miracle.”

Doctors around the world showed skepticism and signs of concern for the woman’s life. Experts said that there was less than a 1 in 100 chance that she could give birth naturally to the babies and have at least one of the survive.
