Mum of twins discovers she's pregnant with triplets after trying for 1 more baby
A mum of twins was shocked to find out she is pregnant with triplets after her boyfriend convinced her to try for one more baby.
Charlotte Boon and her partner, Tyrone Sobers, both 30, are already parents to twins Lavae and Lovelle, nine.
At the end of 2021, they decided to try for another child and were delighted when they discovered Charlotte was pregnant in December 2022.
But when she attended her six-week scan, the mum was surprised to be told that she was expecting triplets.
Now, Charlotte and Tyrone are excited to welcome their new babies who are due in August.

"Then she said: 'There's more than one - there's actually three.'
"I thought she was lying. I was in shock and told Tyrone over text. He didn't believe me either.
"We can't wait now to meet them. We're so excited."
Tyrone said: "I was in disbelief when Charlotte said it was three. We're looking forward to it.

Tyrone had always wanted to grow his family and convinced Charlotte to start trying for another baby in late 2021.
Charlotte said: "We needed to get going as the twins are already nine.
"We weren't actively trying but thinking - 'if it happens, it happens.'"
Charlotte started feeling sick and developed severe migraines in December 2022 but put her symptoms down to her anxiety.

Lavae will also be welcoming three new babies in the family (Charlotte Boon / SWNS)She said: "I was chatting to the sonographer telling her I already had twins.
"I thought 'why is she staring at me?'
"I was in shock when she told me I was having triplets. I was having a meltdown."
Charlotte had to break the news to Tyrone over text.
She said: "He wouldn't believe me for ages. I sent the scan to prove it."
Charlotte will likely have a planned c-section ahead of the due date.
They broke the news to their family and friends on Christmas Day 2022.
Tyrone said: "No one believed us when we told them. They were all shocked."
The pair are now busy preparing to become a family of seven and have had to look at buying a new seven-seater car for their brood.
Charlotte said: "Tyrone is so excited. He can't wait. I'll have had five babies in two pregnancies. It's crazy."
