Woman Who Sustained Severe Burns as a Child & Was Told She Couldn’t Have Kids… Now She Has 3!

When she was only five months old, Trina Flowers sustained severe burns when her father, who was “extremely” drunk attempted to give her a bath in water that was too hot.

Flowers’ mother had agreed to let her spend the night in the house he shared with his sister and mother. He had then decided to give Trina a bath at 4 am even though he was too drunk to realise that the water was extremely hot.

He couldn’t figure out why she was crying after he placed her in the hot water. He then left the crying baby in the sink filled with hot water to fetch his sister from the bedroom for what might have been an eternity. He didn’t realise what he had done until he returned with his sister to find Trina limp and gasping for breath in the sink.

She was later flown with a helicopter to  UCLA Medical Centre but because of the severity of burns she had sustained on her body, she was told that she would never be able to have children. But now she has three children.

She shared the above photo of her baby bump with burns alongside this touching story on Instagram:
