If you've ever been pregnant, then you might be shocked when you hear stories of women who manage to go their entire pregnancy without even realizing that they're having with child. While this phenomenon is rare, it does indeed happen. However, you've probably never heard of a woman being pregnant with triplets and not even realizing it.

Dannette Glitz woke up one day in excruciating pain. Dannette, of Sturgis, South Dakota, felt horrible pains in her back that spread to her abdomen. As she lay in bed trying not to cry, she presumed that her suffering was the result of kidney stones. Dannette did the smart thing and checked herself into the hospital, assuming that she'd need an emergency surgery to have the kidney stones removed. After doctors examined her, they discovered the shocking truth: Dannette wasn't experiencing kidney stones, she was 34 weeks pregnant with triplets!

"We’re still in shock, trust me," Dannette told a Kota TV, also speaking on behalf of her husband, Austin. Dannette added that triplets are rarely conceived naturally, which makes her story all the more bizarre.

Dannette was rushed into surgery for an emergency C-section. Miraculously, all three babies were able to be brought into the world. Although each baby is only about four pounds, their prognosis is good and doctors believe that they will be able to develop normally.

Although the couple certainly didn't have names picked out, they quickly landed on Nikki and Gypsy for their two new daughters and Blaze for their newborn son. This couple is going to need all the help they can get and have established a Facebook page to solicit donations from their community.
