Magret Muthoki is now a proud mother of four after successfully giving birth to healthy triplets at Kibwezi Sub-County Hospital.
Her delivery was nothing short of a miracle, as she welcomed the three bundles of joy following a life-threatening complication.
The 30-year-old, who gave birth through a Caesarean section, had developed eclampsia, a serious condition involving seizures that occur in pregnant women with preeclampsia, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

“My water had broken, and I was not even ready to give birth. I came to the hospital, and they did a scan, which showed that I was carrying two babies. However, during delivery, I gave birth to three babies. When I was told I was pregnant with twins, I prepared myself for two babies and bought clothes for them. After giving birth, I had to shop for more clothes for the third baby,” she said.
