For many expecting moms, the signs of pregnancy, like missed periods and morning sickness to weight gain and a growing belly, are pretty obvious, which is why it’s so hard to believe that someone could be more than half-way through their pregnancy and have no idea that they’re pregnant at all.
As impossible as it seems, one UK mom showed no signs of pregnancy despite trying to conceive for nearly a year. 37-year-old Sarah Senior had dreamed of having another baby with her 39-year-old partner Jason Cooper, but she was crushed every time she got her period and each pregnancy test came back negative.
The two had just about given up their hope of being parents again, and accepted the fact that it wasn’t going to happen. One day, however, Sarah landed in the hospital after complaining of irritable bowel syndrome, but after getting a scan, the doctors found out she was actually 5 months pregnant. “I said I couldn’t be. I’d done two pregnancy tests and both were negative,” Sarah said.
At 5 months along, Sarah was still her typical size 10, and didn’t have the normal baby bump like she had with her previous two pregnancies, yet when she went in a week later for some scans, they found three heartbeats. “The consultant said I was definitely pregnant and it looked like twins. My jaw hit the floor.”
On December 15, Sarah gave birth to her three healthy yet small triplets through a C-section, and a year later, the family has their hands full.“They’re all walking and talking now. It’s a madhouse. Life consists of feed, change nappies, feed, repeat.” But the family is loving every minute of it. “I am so grateful that my tummy ache wasn’t IBS. It was my three beautiful daughters,” Sarah said.
