Woman figures out triplets seven months into her pregnancy

A mother described how she was in “complete shock” when she found out she was having triplets and how she “can barely recall” the exact moment she learned during an ultrasound exam.

Genevieve “Genna” Knox, a teacher from San Diego, California, claims that up until 20 weeks of her pregnancy in 2019, she believed she was carrying one baby normally. It wasn’t until that point that she discovered she was also carrying a second child.

After another nine weeks, she was incredibly informed that there were actually three babies.

Along with their six-year-old son Liam, Genna, 38, and her husband Kyle wanted to start a family, but they were also conscious of her advanced maternal age.

She claimed that while she underwent comprehensive prenatal testing, she did not get a scan after her first trimester.

“I started having kids later in life and I didn’t know if I’d even be able to have one, we were overjoyed,” she told TODAY.com, about having triplets.

She says they feel like the “luckiest people in the world”.

The first shock came when she learned she was pregnant with twins following a 20-week prenatal scan.

“She’s like, ‘Wait, you’re having twins?’ And I said, ‘No I’m not,’” Genna said. “Then I looked up and I could see clear as day that there were two babies.”

The family was contemplating getting a bigger car at that point as they wondered how they would adjust to having three kids in all.

Genna claimed that she had only seriously considered obtaining the four-dimensional scan as a memento and something to show their families after 29 weeks.

And after that, she claimed that she started to worry about the scan when the ultrasound technician spoke to her for such a long time.

“Finally he goes, ‘How far along were you when you found out you were having twins?’ And I said, ‘Oh, gosh you’re not going to believe it,’ and then I told him what happened at the 20-week scan,” Genna added.
