Mother gives birth to 4 babies under one year

A 29-year-old mother and her partner, Benn Smith, 31, got more than what they bargained for by having four babies in one year.

Barely two months after having her first child who she had waited for more than a year to have her son, Freddie became pregnant again.

On discovering she was going to have triplets after a scan, Miss Ward 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. 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.’ 

An emergency  Cesarean Section was necessary to deliver the babies at 33 weeks when they showed signs of distress.

It’s naturally exhausting to cater to the constant needs of a child let alone 4 but they feel so blessed. Miss Ward said : ‘At times it feels more like running a nursery than a home, but we feel so blessed.

‘I was stunned when I found out I was pregnant again so soon. When we learned it was triplets we went into shock. At times it’s utter chaos but we just laugh and get stuck in.

‘It takes two hours to prepare to leave the house but we don’t dwell on the hard work. I love babies so I feel like the luckiest mum in the world.’She also said that they won’t be trying for another baby any time soon.
