Changing 175 nappies and making up 80 bottles of milk each week is no easy task But that’s just the start of new mother Sarah Ward’s to-do list.
She gave birth to four babies in the space of nine months – despite fearing that she would never conceive.
Her son Freddie was nine months old when she had triplets, now aged 19 weeks, in March. All were conceived naturally.
Miss
Ward had tried to conceive for more than a year and was due to see a GP
for tests when she became pregnant with Freddie. So after he was born
in June last year, the couple did not use birth control.
Miss Ward said: ‘We
wanted to have at least two children. Because it had taken so long with
Freddie, we assumed it would take the same time again, if not longer.’
In fact, Freddie was only eight weeks old when she learned she was expecting.
She said: ‘I started
shaking. I had barely recovered from having Freddie. I was still wearing
maternity clothing. I was wondering how on earth I was going to cope.’A scan at 12 weeks revealed Miss Ward was expecting fraternal triplets.
She said: ‘The
sonographer paused and asked if we knew how many babies we were having.
Our mouths fell open because we thought she was telling us it was twins.
‘When she said triplets I
nearly fell off the bed in shock. Neither of us could speak as she
turned the screen to us and pointed out three little wriggling shapes. I
just started crying when I realised they would be born before Freddie
was one.’
The couple, from
Crayford in south-east London, were warned the pregnancy was high risk
and offered a selective termination – aborting one baby to give the
other two a better chance. They decided against the procedure.
At 33 weeks, one of the
babies showed signs of distress, so surgeons at Medway Hospital, in
Kent, had to perform an emergency caesarean section.culled
They are not planning to have another baby anytime soon.
*just when she had lost hope!.....baba God,please do it for all the childless couples believing you for a miracle!
