25yo Woman Carrying Triplets Suddenly Discovers She’s Expecting 9 Babies During Follow-Up Scan

A 25-year-old mom-to-be from Nanchang County, China, was expecting triplets after struggling to get pregnant for almost a year of marriage.

Guangzhou Daily reported how Ms. Hou went for a check-up at the hospital and discovered that she had multiple cysts and endometrial polyps in her uterus, which had made it tough for her to conceive in the first place.

She managed to get pregnant after receiving the injections

The doctor recommended an ovulation-stimulating injection to help with ovulation, and eager to become a mom, Ms. Hou followed through with the advice in early October this year and took the injection.

To her surprise, she was pregnant by the end of October.

“I was so happy when I found out I was pregnant. My dream of becoming a mom had come true. I went for a check-up, and that’s when I found out I was expecting triplets,” she said.

8 gestational sacs were found during an ultrasound

On November 5, Ms. Hou went to the hospital for a Colour Doppler ultrasound, and it showed 8 gestational sacs in her uterus. During this time, she struggled with constant morning sickness and couldn’t eat properly.

But on November 12, during a follow-up check, the results unexpectedly showed 9 gestational sacs close together in her uterus.

Her husband shared his worries about her carrying 9 babies, concerned about how she’d handle it.

“I’m feeling really nervous right now. Before this, I was worried she couldn’t get pregnant, and now we’re expecting 9 babies. I’ll follow the doctor’s advice on how to take care of the pregnancy,” he said.

Ms. Hou’s husband shared that they’ve undergone a series of tests and are now waiting for the doctor’s next steps.
