A Surprise Twin Waterbirth

❤️ A SURPRISE TWIN WATERBIRTH ❤️

A completely missed twin pregnancy.

Ultrasound did not pick up the other fetus, they only ever heard just one heartbeat and she measured right on track for carrying only 1 baby.

She birthed her first baby in the water and shortly after felt another strong contraction and another ring of fire.

As to which she yelled out “What the fuck?!”

The midwife said “Oh, it’s probably the placenta coming.”

Another midwife said “It’s a water bag, I’ve never seen that before.”

The whole room was in utter shock to see another baby come earthside and born encaul.



The likelihood of another baby hidding in the womb is extremely minuscule, but it happened.

Born at 38 weeks and 4 days, both babies weighed 6lbs 11oz, and both measured 20 inches.
