Doctor Can’t Believe What He Sees When Mom Births Triplets

Generally, a normal pregnancy can be a difficult experience for a woman, even when things go right. However, if you give birth to triplets, everything shifts to a new level, especially when a woman goes through with it without the father.

Everyone expects that things happening afterward are fine, but that didn’t happen for Cynthia. Before she saw her babies, the doctor had some upsetting news for her.

What did the doctor tell this poor woman? Was something wrong with her babies? Why was the father not there, and could the news affect their relationship? Find out below!

Difficult Birth

Cynthia had been anticipating this moment for the last nine months – her triplets were being born. She realized that the pain was likely to be severe, but her life could be forever changed once it was over. She was rushed to the delivery room to start the process!

The News

It took about four hours, but then her three children were born. They were taken for a check-up before Cynthia even saw them. However, the doctor then came in, and she knew something was wrong by the look in his eyes. “I’m not sure how to say this,” he started…

Meet Johnny and Cynthia

Johnny and Cynthia Carlton were the dream couple. They dated throughout high school and college, getting married later. In fact, they had been in a relationship for 10 years and married for five years. Even Naomi thought they were perfect for each other!

Their Daughter Naomi

Naomi was Johnny’s and Cynthia’s 3-year-old daughter. She looked like her mom and had brown eyes and hair. Recently, she started kindergarten, enjoying her time with her friends. While they all wanted dresses and toys, she wanted something else more than anything.

A Younger Sibling

Naomi just wanted to have a younger sibling. It was a dream that she told everyone about. She even pretended with her dolls and always talked about babies. Johnny and Cynthia considered having another child, but they wondered if now was the time.

Fate

The young parents thought Naomi was a blessing and enjoyed spending time with her. However, another child could complicate things because of the shaky economy. Still, the couple decided to let fate happen without worrying about the future. If they had a child, it would be loved.

The Next Step

Though they decided to let fate happen, they didn’t actively conceive because they were still hesitant. Instead, they decided to compromise, with Cynthia going off birth control. It could still take a few months for everything to go back to normal, and that was their decision period.

Months Later

Many months went by, so the couple thought they were safe. Cynthia had no signs of expecting a baby and was relieved by it. However, her worries focused on something other than finances. It was an issue she’d avoided for quite a while and didn’t want to bring to light.

Her Regrets

Cynthia worried about her future with Johnny. She didn’t think the marriage was stable and wondered if she still loved her husband. In fact, she had many suitors at work who gave her the spark she never felt. However, Johnny didn’t feel the same way, though things soon got more complicated.

She’s Sick

One morning, Cynthia felt nauseous, she was weak, and her body ached. She ran to the bathroom and rushed to the toilet, heaving over it. Johnny had gone to work at the construction site, so he wasn’t likely to be back for a while. She decided to call a taxi and go to the clinic.

Meeting with the Doctor

Cynthia went to the doctor and explained her symptoms. The doctor asked questions about her routine during the week, and she answered them honestly. After a few moments, her doctor asked her to lie down for a test and gave her some shocking news!

Pregnant with Triplets

Overall, Cynthia knew the doctor was likely to say she was pregnant and hoped it wasn’t true. Finally, he returned with the results and said she was. However, he told her she was expecting three babies total. The shock of triplets was more than she could take, with him saying she was about 1.5 months pregnant!

Stuck

In the weeks before she felt nauseous, she had already convinced herself that she should leave Johnny and start over. She was done with the relationship and was upset that he didn’t notice her unhappiness. However, Cynthia now felt stuck with three babies heading her way.

Her Thoughts

Cynthia finished at the doctor’s office and went home, and she was consumed with the shocking news she just got. How could she share it with her husband? What could she say? She wondered if this might spark something new for them or if all hope was lost.

Honesty and Shock

Overall, she knew she had to be honest and tell him about her unhappiness and the babies. When Johnny arrived home later, she sat him down. At first, he was excited about the triplets, but she went further to say she was unhappy. Their dreams were falling apart!

Saving the Marriage

Johnny begged his wife to reconsider and fix their marriage. While he had made mistakes, he felt certain they could work through them because they trusted each other. However, Cynthia then revealed one more secret she had been hiding. It was too much for him to handle!

Her Cheating

Cynthia told Johnny that she’d been seeing another man on the side for a couple of months. She was embarrassed but thought the fact might help her husband see that the marriage was over so that he could move on. He was dumbfounded by the news!

She Gets Custody

Johnny was mad but decided to give her the divorce. However, they wanted custody over the unborn babies and Naomi. It was a long and ugly process, but she got custody of Naomi. The judge couldn’t rule on the triplets, so they had to go back to court later.

Scared and Satisfied

Cynthia was happy that she got Naomi, but she was scared. Johnny threw a fit because Naomi asked to stay with her mom, so he had other requests. Her lawyer said that she might not get custody of her soon-to-be-born triplets.

Custody Questions

There were a few reasons why she might not get custody. The main issue was her financial situation. While it was enough to take care of her daughter, it might not be sufficient for four children. Therefore, she had to find a good job in a few months.

Not Easy

Johnny could provide financial stability and didn’t feel he should cover child support! While Cynthia had a boyfriend (Eric), he couldn’t financially support the family. Therefore, she started wondering why she cheated on her husband and felt stuck!

Feeling Weak

Most of the time, Cynthia felt too weak to do much. She tried her hardest, but her pregnancy took quite a toll. She spent much of her time with Eric, and he took care of her. Plus, her daughter was there to help, even though she should have been playing.

Stuck Situation

Months passed with no improvement in the situation. Cynthia managed her current money flow, but she couldn’t improve her finances. Eric started trying hard and stepped up, but he fell short, as well. They were quite worried about the future!

Naomi’s Life

Now, Johnny thought he could get custody of the triplets because of his promotion and better house. Plus, his new girlfriend wanted to be a mom. Naomi even asked to see her dad on weekends and enjoyed his new girlfriend. Cynthia was guilty about it all but happy they had a bond together.

Upcoming Birth

Her due date was quickly approaching. Eric took her to the hospital much earlier than normal to prepare for the triplets. It took more precautions compared to a single birth. Naomi went to her dad’s house, and Cynthia hoped he wouldn’t do something foolish.

Awkward Labor

As labor started for Cynthia, Eric was beside her. Johnny showed with Naomi and didn’t leave. Cynthia couldn’t stop him from being there because he could be the dad. The whole process was quite awkward and stressed her out, putting more strain on her body.

Challenging Birth

It was a difficult birth, taking seven hours total. Eric and Johnny waited to see the babies, and the doctors knew of the potential paternity dispute. Therefore, they were taken elsewhere for basic testing without Cynthia seeing them. It upset her and worried her, as well.

What Might Happen

In the end, Cynthia was exhausted. She wasn’t out of the woods because of the many other problems to solve. In fact, she couldn’t deal with losing her babies and giving them to Johnny. However, he was respectful enough to distance himself from them and let them cope.

Johnny’s Protest

Once Cynthia regained her strength, she asked to see and hold her babies. Johnny tried protesting, but the nurse shushed him. She was clearly the mother and had the right, even if the father’s status hasn’t been determined yet. However, the doctor had a message.

Stalls and Concerns

The doctor first said that there wasn’t information and the babies were being tested. She worried that something was wrong, and the doctor said it wasn’t life-threatening. However, he was really stalling to get the paternity test results because he noticed something and wanted to be sure.

Mind Running Wild

Even though the doctor’s words were calming, Cynthia was scared. She was afraid for her babies and their health and worried Johnny might do something. In fact, she wondered what might happen if she fell asleep and he stole them!

Waiting Room

Johnny was getting tired of waiting, too, so he took Naomi to a waiting room. That way, he could get away from the doctor. It made Cynthia more upset, so Eric went to see what was happening in case Johnny decided to take Naomi or the triplets.

Triplets

Finally, the nurses brought in the babies, putting them around their mother. The doctor asked about Johnny, leaving to find him. An hour ago, Cynthia might have been concerned, but she was so happy. Were those the only moments she might have with them?!

Surprising Results

The doctor finally came back into the room with Johnny. Everyone was shocked when they saw him crying. He couldn’t even look at the babies or Cynthia. She was confused, holding her babies tighter while the doctor explained.

The Observant Nurse

During labor, a nurse had been studying Eric and Johnny. While doing the basic tests for sight and hearing, she realized that these babies didn’t look like Johnny. In fact, she believed they looked like Eric more and this was before the paternity tests.

What about Eric

However, they had to be sure, which is why they stalled to give the paternity test enough time to show results. They realized that the triplets weren’t Johnny’s, so they had to wait for Eric’s results. That’s when they brought the babies to Cynthia, and the doctor told Johnny the bad news. In fact, Eric was the triplets’ father.

The True Father

As it turned out, Cynthia was cheating with Eric, who got her pregnant. Cynthia was so happy because now Johnny had no case to take custody of the triplets. Plus, she already had full custody of Naomi. Though he could fight, her daughter preferred her!

Leaving Angrily

When Johnny realized he wasn’t the father, he left the hospital and Naomi. He immediately called his lawyer, asking to drop the case because he could only lose. Plus, he didn’t want kids that weren’t his. Maybe he and his new girlfriend could conceive!

Best Case Scenario

Eric came into the room and hugged Cynthia, kissing his biological children. As far as she was concerned, it was the best-case scenario, and she never dreamed it was possible. Johnny made things terrible, but she hadn’t thought the babies weren’t his, either.

Time Heals All

Naomi was happy to have siblings. Throughout the next few months, everyone’s lives improved. Eric found a better job, Cynthia didn’t have to fear a custody battle, and Johnny paid child support on Naomi, allowing them to co-parent successfully.
