The miracle Mum Has Given Birth To Four Babies In ᴊᴜsᴛ 11 Months. Becky John, of Swansea, thought it would be nice for her baby daughter Mya to have a similarly aged sibling to play with and decided to conceive another child with her partner Jason Evans. But she hadn’t bargained for falling pregnantwith not one, but three, babies.
The triplets were born in January ᴊᴜsᴛ 11 months after Miss Johns had given birth to Mya. Johns said: ” We had decided to try for ᴊᴜsᴛ one more baby. Kayla was older, so I wanted Mya to have company as she grew older. We thought it may take a while for me to get pregnant, so we started trying straight away. But then ᴊᴜsᴛ a couple of weeks later I did a test and the two blue lines came up on the test. It must have only taken a week for me to fall pregnant. I had to stare at the screen ᴊᴜsᴛ to make sure for myself. And I counted the heartbeats one by one. It was true I was actually pregnant with triplets. They were all naturally conceivedand they were each from a separate egg, which is really rare. Doctors told us it was the healthiest way to have triplets, because they all had a placenta each, it meant there was ɴᴏ risks associated with any one of them sharing a placenta. When we told our friends and family, people thought we were joking. Jason’s a bit of a joker, so no one took him seriously when he told them. Even when he showed his sister the scan picture of all three triplets together, she still wasn’t convinced.”
John’s pregnancy progressed smoothly and she had regular scans to check the babies were growing well. She said: “We nicknamed them Snap, Crackle and Pop. It was lovely to feel them all moving around. Everyone kept asking us what they were going to be called and we didn’t have any idea, so Jason nicknamed them, and the names stuck!”. The triplets were delivered by cesarean at the end of January when Miss Johns was 34 weeks pregnant. She said: “I was so huge by that time I could barely move and doctors wanted to get them out in case I went into labour early. If I went into labour naturally, then it could increase the risk of things going wrong. And we didn’t want that to happen, so I was booked in for my cesarean operation. I was nervous when I went in, but desperate to meet my three new arrivals.”
Ryan weighed 4lb 12oz, Raya weighed in at 4lb 3oz, and Phoebe at 4lb 11oz – all healthy weights. John’s was ᴊᴜsᴛ so relieved they were all healthy and well. They were only in hospital for about six weeks and were allowed home. John was worried how she would manage with so many babies, but now she couldn’t be happier with her newest additions. She had to get a four seater pram because Mya had her first birthday when the triplets were only two weeks old. When strangers stop to see the four of them, they can’t believe that I had four babies in less than a year.
John’s said :”Kayla is thrilled with her three new brothers and sisters and its lovely to think that Mya and the triplets will grow up so close in age.”
