Photos: How Mum-Of-3 Who Mistakenly Got Pregnant Ended Up Doubling The Size Of Her Family

A 32-year-old mother of three Vimla Patel from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, thought her family was complete with two sons and a daughter.

Already, she was planning to start a new job as a care assistant when she received the shock of her life after she mistakenly got pregnant and ended up giving birth to triplets, TheSun reports.

Narrating her story, she said she started experiencing morning sickness and then did a home test which revealed she was pregnant.

The mother of 6 and her 36-year-old partner Keith Monroe, were then left stunned after scans revealed they had beaten odds of 200 million-to-one by conceiving identical triplet boys.

“We didn’t want to rule anything out so we went in for a scan to see what our options were,” Vimla recalled.

“When the nurse doing the scan left the room I felt a wave of relief wash over me at the thought it might all have been a big mistake. But then she came back in and said it was triplets. Keith was gobsmacked. He couldn’t talk.

“We knew immediately that we were going through with the pregnancy. We never really thought we could have a termination anyway. But knowing I was carrying three babies just confirmed it for us.”
