Sally Giles welcomed twin girls only two weeks after she found out she was pregnant and six months along.

Sally Giles,34, thought she may have a thyroid condition as she was feeling tired and worn down, so her doctor performed some routine test on her. To her and the doctor’s surprise, Sally was pregnant. Not only was she pregnant, but she was already six months along and was pregnant with twins!

Only 13 days after finding out she was pregnant, Sally gave birth to to her twin daughters via emergency c-section.

Giles, who is also a mum to a 13-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son, didn’t have any normal pregnancy signs. She didn’t have morning sickness, still got her period on a regular basis and was still fitting into her normal pants.

“My jeans were feeling a little bit tighter but I could still easily fasten them. My stomach still looked flat and I was taking the contraceptive pill.”

She went on to say,

“I couldn’t take in what they were saying. I had done all the things that women are not supposed to do when they are pregnant. I’d eaten soft cheese and shellfish, gone on fairground rides, drunk wine, and we’d also been decorating upstairs so I’d carried a wardrobe down the stairs - and back up again.”

Sally also explained the reason for not having a baby bump at six months with twins. “The doctors thought my uterus had been stuck in my pelvis, which is why my bump hadn’t been able to grow outwards.”

Sally delivered her twin girls, Emma and Kate, who weighed in just at 2lbs each. After 4 months in the hospital, each of the girls were allowed to come home.

Sally said, “Two weeks before, life was just normal - then suddenly I was the mum of twins. Even though they weren’t planned, they have made our family complete.”
