HYPEROVULATION: Woman Had One Baby, Then Twins, Now She’s Expecting Triplets | Watch Video

It all began 10 years ago when Robert and Nia Tolbert of Waldorf, Maryland ran into each other while visiting their friends at work. From that moment, they were in love.

That love turned into a union when they married on August 31, 2014. At this time the couple had a 3-year-old son, Shai, and would be soon expecting twin boys.

Robert, a 31-year-old project manager with the federal government said;

“We joked about having a big family, but we never thought it would happen to us. We thought we were good with one or two, but here we are.”

Here we are indeed. Currently, the couple has a 6-year-old son, 2-year-old twin boys, Riley and Alexander, and now the family is about to double. Let’s just say you can call her the 1-2-3 mom.

Nia knew she was pregnant for the third time, but she had no idea what was in store for her. She went to the doctor to get an ultrasound the same day she had a girls’ trip planned to Tampa, Florida.

The 28-year-old mom knew it had to be twins because the nurse began asking if multiples ran in her family. The nurse confirmed her thoughts,

“Yes, it’s twins, there are two babies.”

Nia got up to use the bathroom. When she came back, Nia got her sonogram and the nurse had a surprise for her. The nurse told her,

“There’s three. Baby A. Baby B. Baby C.”

Nia reacted and then quickly asked the nurse,

“Can you check and make sure it’s not four?”

Nia was completely in shock, and according to Dr. Rami Tabbarah, an OBGYN at Inova Women’s Hospital, this is extremely rare for a natural pregnancy. He has only seen one other case like this in his 10 years as a doctor.

“It’s extremely rare. We’re talking less than one in 1,000 [births]. That’s a very low chance for it happening to anyone in general.”

“It’s very rare to have to twins then triplets [naturally] in the same life time.”

Dr. Tabbarah said there are several factors that play a role in producing multiples – a woman’s height, heredity, ethnicity and age.

Both Nia and Rob have multiples in their families, and Nia also learned she hyperovulates which means more than one egg is ovulating at the same time.

Dr Tabbarah said this about Hyperovulation;

“Hyperovulation is very rare,

Eight people out of 1,000 [in the U.S.] might be hyperovulators and those will be the people that get the twins.”

“I don’t know how we’re going to do it, but I have to be grateful because we know so many people who struggle with having children,” Nia said.

“I know it was a blessing and it wasn’t an opportunity for me to be afraid.”

But on that day, she was still apprehensive and had to share the news with her husband, just hours before her flight.

When Robert came home from work, he found a note on the bed in a gift bag.

In the gift bag, there were three onesies marked 1, 2 and 3 with a sonogram. He couldn’t believe it.

“Oh I passed out, I hit the bed.

I blinked twice, when I woke up I saw that some time had elapsed on the clock.”

At this time, Nia had arrived safely in Tampa, but still hadn’t heard a word from Robert, so she began to tell her college girlfriends the news.

Seven hours later, Nia finally hears from Rob. She knew he would eventually be okay.

“We live by the mantra of being impeccable with our words. Words have power.

The more positivity you speak into your life, the more positivity you’ll get out of it.

So we don’t have time to be negative or woe is me or be nervous,” Robert said.

Now, the family eagerly awaits three new bundles of joy due early in March.

At a gender reveal party, the family learned they’ll be adding three new baby girls to their household. The house is officially balanced.

And if you’re wondering if the couple will test the theory of getting pregnant for a fourth time and having four babies, their response is, “the shop is closed.”
