However, as the medical team was about to close her surgical incision following the procedure, the new mother asked for a delay as she felt an unexpected movement inside her abdomen.
The surgeon and the team conducted a further examination which revealed a hidden third baby.
It is learnt that the foetus was hidden from the initial scans due to its unusual positioning, blocking it from being scanned.
The medical team and its lead surgeon quickly prepared for the additional procedure and thankfully delivered the third baby safely.
The arrival of a third baby stunned the family, as they had expressed both concern and extreme joy following the unexpected addition.
