Guy at my work might be lying about his girlfriend being pregnant

So this temp at my job started recently. He lies a lot about random stuff. He's a sketchy dude. When he started, he told us that his girlfriend is 9 months pregnant. He talks about it regularly, just like any person who is expecting soon would. He takes time off work to go to the doctor with her. He even made a note on his calendar on the due date.
Well, I don't talk to him, because he's shady and weird, but he initiates conversation with a couple of girls in the office and tells them all about it. Recently, these girls have begun questioning whether or not the whole story is made up. He makes, what these women believe, are very weird claims. Tell me if you think this stuff is legit or if he's lying.
He claims that her doctor told her to take a lot of warm baths at 9 months pregnant (bacteria could apparently get into her vagina and kill the baby?). He claims that his doctor told his girlfriend to drink a lot of coffee to keep her energy levels up? He said her water broke last week (wtf?)? He said that four mucus plugs have come out of her vagina (that's apparently not possible?). I forget what else he has said, but it doesn't add up. We think that maybe he used the baby on the way card for sympathy in his interview and also to protect him from getting fired to some degree. Or his girlfriend is a pathological liar and just tells him this stuff and he just believes it. From the limited info I've given you about him and this story, do you think he's telling the truth?

Yeah, why would you say these things to women who have had multiple children. If he is lying and were smart, he'd say as little as possible. But he just makes these claims without anyone even asking.

I guess it's possible that they're seeing Doctor Nick from the Upstairs Medical University or something, but I doubt it.

My GF gave birth 6 months ago so I know a little something.
I actually find the mucus plugs least unlikely. That actually happens (not 4 but 1 most of the times, but it could have broken up or something).
No baths because of the bacteria for sure! No cafeine either, but maybe its okay at the last stage as the baby is fully developed anyway?
If the water breaks the baby will have come out in 48 hours max if I remember correctly. If it doesnt come out by itself they will make it come out. So the kid should have been born by now.

Wait, sorry my mistake. You were saying goodnight to somebody (in lnc) because they said they were going to bed; I thought it was you saying that to the pub.
Carry on.

There are two possibilities.
- 1: He's got the mental capacity of a 5-year-old, and lies about random things as such, for a miniscule ego boost.
- 2: He's a master troll and is laughing about how everybody falls for his absurd stories

Yeah he is an idiot. I've known too many people like this, and the few times I called them out it was pointless. I just say, "wow, really? wow, crazy." to those people. Maybe report to the boss? I don't understand how people can be so stupid to think others are so stupid. But I guess him being so ignorant on the subject is why he thinks these statements can be said.
Oh and I love the two pictures Leary. Good luck, ignore the dumb ass.

>He claims that her doctor told her to take a lot of warm baths at 9 months pregnant
Warm baths could be for sore joints, which is common. Bacteria will not penetrate the amniotic fluid however.
> He claims that his doctor told his girlfriend to drink a lot of coffee to keep her energy levels up?
Unlikely, caffeine has been shown to lower birth weight and could possibly lead to other complications. While it may not be overly harmful to consume it I doubt a doctor would actually recommend it. You never know with doctors though.
>He said her water broke last week It is possible for a premature rupture of the amniotic sac, called a PROM.
This often requires immediate treatment as the baby can risk infection. In fact, that would explain the first comment about "preventing infection" though I don't know if a warm bath would do the trick.
In conclusion it's possible that the dude is telling the truth but just doesn't understand the details of what is happening. Misunderstanding PPROM might lead to his remarks but it does sound suspicious none the less. Especially the caffeine thing.
Whatever
