Becoming a parent signifies a profound shift in perspective and an entirely fresh way of looking at one’s life. When new life is ushered into the world, parents dedicate themselves to ensuring the best possible upbringing for their son or daughter.
That said, within the nine months a mother carries her child, the unexpected can unfold.
Ange Wakeling, already a mother to daughter Dottie, found herself in an unforeseen situation upon discovering she was pregnant once again. Little did she know that her journey was about to take an astonishing tur
As the days passed, Ange and her husband faced an unimaginable choice — one that would shatter their hearts…
Deep within us all resides an innate sense of right and wrong. Our conscience guides us, acting as a compass, if you will, indicating when to stand firm and when to yield in various situations.
For Ange Wakeling, a mother from Weston-super-Mare, England, this gut feeling would prove to be a saving grace in more ways than one.
In 2022, Ange’s world was flipped upside down when she learned that she was pregnant once again. She and her husband had yearned to expand their family for years – but with no results.
”It wasn’t as easy as when I fell pregnant with Dottie and every month we were faced with disappointment. I had thought I was pregnant at Christmas in 2020, but then we had a negative pregnancy test result and it was devastating,” Ange told The Sun.
But finally, they got the news that they would be able to give their daughter a beloved sibling. All of a sudden, Dottie was on her way to becoming a big sister, and the small family was set to grow.
But the unexpected occurred during one of the first ultrasounds: Ange wasn’t carrying just one child in her belly. Instead, the ultrasound technician said that there were three precious babies inside.
The news was enough to shake any expectant parent, and Ange was no exception. Her thoughts raced as she grappled with the magnitude of this impending expansion of her family.
