Monique Bertrand, a woman who believed she couldn’t conceive due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), has defied the odds by giving birth to triplets.
Monique, 38, and her partner, Monique John, 39, had explored alternative options such as fostering and adoption after years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive.
In April 2022, Monique received the incredible news that she was pregnant, bringing immense joy to the couple. However, the surprise didn’t end there.
During her eighth week of pregnancy, Monique discovered that she was not expecting just one baby, but three.
The couple shared the news of the triplet pregnancy with 200 guests at a baby shower when Monique was 27 weeks pregnant, leaving everyone delighted and amazed.
The birth of the triplets has brought immeasurable happiness to Monique and John, surpassing their expectations and defying the challenges they faced in their journey to start a family.
She said; “I waited a long time to be a mum, so when the sonographer said it was triplets, I just shouted in confusion and happiness. It’s been a blessing with so many challenges. The doctors called them miracle babies.”
