Labor Pain Mistaken For Kidney Stone Pain
When Dannette Giltz of South Dakota started experiencing pain and cramping, she chalked it up to kidney stones.
“I started getting pains, I figured it was kidney stones because I’ve went [sic] through them before,” she said.
As the pain increased, Dannette headed to the hospital. She was expecting doctors to suggest surgery to remove kidney stones. So, it came as a complete shock when they told Dannette she was experiencing labor pain because she was about to give birth to twins!

Dannette gave birth to two girls and a boy, naming them Gypsy, Nikki, and Blaze.
She and her husband, Austin, are still in shock over growing from a family of four to a family of seven overnight. But for their 10-year-old son, Ronnie, the unexpected triplets are an answered prayer.
