A couple in the United States got the shock of their lives when they found out that they were expecting a baby, and just 48 hours later gave birth to their first child.
23-year-old Peyton Stover, who is a first-year teacher in Omaha, visited the doctor after experiencing symptoms, including fatigue, that she assumed were related to job stress. “I just thought it was normal to be tired all the time,” she told KETV. However, when she started noticing changes in her body, such as swelling in her legs, her doctor told her a baby was on the way.

Further, the 23-year-old said that the news of her baby also came with other medical concerns. Speaking to the outlet, Ms Stover said that her kidneys and liver stopped functioning properly, following which the doctors sprung into action. “They said she needs to be admitted and then she had the baby that night,” her boyfriend, Tavis Koesters, told KETV, as per New York Post.
Doctors revealed that Ms Stover had preeclampsia – a pregnancy condition that can cause serious complications and is characterised by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system.

The couple said that they wanted kids one day, so they are just thrilled that the day came sooner than they had planned. “Now that I’ve actually held him, fed him and things like that, it’s real. He’s actually mine,” Ms Stover said.
