SHE WAS IN IMMENSE PAIN

Austin and Dannette Giltz were happy as a family of four, living in Sturgis, South Dakota, and they had no idea that their lives were about to change drastically.

Dannette was concerned when she fell ill and immediately thought it was kidney stones. She said:

"I started getting pains in my back and side. It felt like kidney stones [because] I've had them once before. I was in so much pain all I could do was lay in bed and cry. It hurt to move and breathe."

THE WOMAN WAS IN LABOR

The mother went to the urgent care when the pain was too much to bear, and after testing, doctors delivered shocking news. Dannette was pregnant—and she was carrying twins!

The pain the mother experienced was actually contractions, and the medical staff moved quickly because the babies were on the way. Dannette had a c-section without any time to process the ordeal, and her husband was equally stunned.

MORE SHOCKING NEWS FROM THE DOCTOR

The mom explained that the hospital room was quiet—until the doctor suddenly asked for another blanket. Dannette said: "[My husband's] reaction is like excuse me, put it back, no, I was told I have twins, I'm not doing triplets."

However, the doctor wasn't joking, and another baby was ready to be delivered. The family and the rest of the world were stunned that Dannette carried triplets without knowing. The mom of five stated:

THEIR SON WAS WAITING FOR THIS DAY

Dannette welcomed one boy and two girls and shared that there was no morning sickness or movement in her stomach throughout the pregnancy.

In the couple's 12 years together, they had never imagined something so unbelievable would happen to them. They were unprepared and in disbelief, but their son Ronnie Giltz wasn't.

The youngster revealed that he had been waiting for the day his mother would bring home his new siblings. He recalled:

THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED THEM

Austin said his head was exploding, and he was "overwhelmed honestly," but the father was grateful for his growing brood. He was primarily concerned about the health of his babies and delighted when doctors gave them the all-clear.

Having a family of seven might have come as an absolute shock, but what was even more surprising to see was the support from community members. Friends, family, and total strangers assisted the couple, bringing much-needed supplies.
