Kaitlyn Braun spun an elaborate web of lies, convincing over 50 doulas she was pregnant after a traumatic assault. Her deception confused and shattered trust in the doula community, leaving many unsure if they could continue their work. Journalist Sarah Treleaven spent over eighteen months investigating Kaitlyn’s unusual story and the motives behind it. She brought these stories to life in her podcast, The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby , where she details speaking to the doulas who were tricked, lied to and left disturbed by Kaitlyn's actions. The question remains: why did Kaitlyn do it — and is her deception finally over? Listen to The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby here. Warning. This story and this opening scene feature descriptions of pregnancy loss and stillbirth.
