Young Mom Gives Birth To Triplets Only To Be Blindsided By The Doctors’ News
When single mom Becki-Jo started to experience those familiar early pregnancy symptoms, she had her suspicions that she was expecting her second child. A visit to the doctors confirmed that yes, she was — but this time, with triplets. And as if that news wasn’t shocking enough, it was nothing compared to what Becki-Jo would discover once the babies had been born.
Single mom
Becki-Jo Allen was a 23-year-old single mother living in a suburb of Liverpool, England, known as Gateacre. Her three-year-old daughter, Indiana, was her pride and joy, but soon their family would take a dramatic turn.
Familiar feeling
Becki-Jo began feeling nauseous and uncomfortable in the mornings. This led to a slight suspicion that she was pregnant again. So, she went to her doctor's office to see — completely unprepared for what the sonogram would reveal.
Three times the surprise
The doctor told Becki-Jo that she was, indeed, pregnant... with triplets! She could hardly believe it. The young mom suspected she may have been carrying one child, but three? Becki-Jo had no choice but to take it in her stride, but it wasn't easy. And she’d have to brace herself for more shocking news further down the line.
Rocco, Roman, and Rohan
At 31 weeks, Becki-Jo was taken into hospital where doctors worked quickly and carefully to deliver the three babies safely via Cesarean section. All three were boys, and she named them Rocco, Roman, and Rohan. The newborns, however, had a number of medical issues because they were so premature.
