A trip to the doctor afterwards proved that it was real. Naturally, she had to inform her coworker as soon as possible. “You were right, I am having triplets,” she told them over the phone after leaving the doctor.

She also called the location she had reserved for her 30th birthday and informed them she would be hosting a “gender reveal” party instead.

Monique had previously given birth to twins, now six years old, so she knew what it was like to be pregnant with more than one baby at the same time. She endured numerous attacks of morning sickness this time around.

“I was very sick, so I said, ‘It’s either a girl, or I’m pregnant with multiples,’” she explained to Good Morning America.

When Monique told her three sons — she also has an 8-year-old boy — she was having triplets, they believed she was joking. Then the anticipation set in, and they kept asking, “Mommy, when are the babies coming?”

“They try to help out,” Monique said of her twins, Nasir and Sincere, to GMA.

Monique stopped working four months during her pregnancy and went to regular check-ups every two weeks till her water broke.

According to GMA, doctors stated Monique did not utilize fertility medicines to create the twins or triplets, making recurrent pregnancies even more rare.

“This phenomenon occurring naturally is so rare that it’s difficult to find statistics on its occurrence,” RRMC explained.
