After giving birth, her husband disappeared — unable to handle the pressure — leaving behind only a cold message posted on social media:
“I’m gone. Not coming back.”
For any woman, pregnancy is a journey filled with hope, excitement, and challenge. From the first moment a heartbeat is heard, a mother’s soul connects to her child’s every breath, dreaming of the day she’ll cradle them in her arms. But for Priya Sharma, from a small farming family in Uttar Pradesh, the joy of expecting quadruplets soon gave way to unimaginable trials.
A Pregnancy Full of Trials
Priya, raised in hardship, married Rakesh Verma, her former high school classmate. Their marriage was simple but filled with love and dreams. After years of waiting, Priya finally became pregnant. The initial ultrasound revealed three fetuses — but the second scan confirmed something even rarer: she was carrying four babies.
Her mother-in-law celebrated the news as a divine blessing, calling it “God’s gift of fortune.” But doctors warned of the extreme risks: anemia, high blood pressure, premature labor, and potential complications for both mother and babies.
Despite medical advice to consider fetal reduction, Priya refused.
“They are all a part of me. How could I choose between my own children?” she said through tears.
Her Fight to Carry Four Lives
Carrying four babies was far from easy. Her belly grew rapidly, placing immense strain on her spine and organs. Sleepless nights, shortness of breath, swelling, and fatigue became her new normal. But she endured it all, holding on to the hope that she would bring all four of her babies safely into the world.
But her body gave out before the due date. Priya went into premature labor and was rushed to the hospital.
A Father’s Abandonment and a Mother-in-Law’s Cruel Suggestion
The birth of four premature baby boys shocked the entire hospital. While rare and miraculous, their survival was uncertain. They were whisked into neonatal intensive care.
Priya, still weak from labor, hadn’t even held her babies when the doctor delivered devastating news — their total medical costs would amount to over ₹15 lakhs (approx. $18,000 USD).
Rakesh couldn’t bear it. He fled the hospital and left a single message:
“I’m leaving. I won’t come back.”
Days later, Priya’s mother-in-law came to her bedside with a harsh suggestion:
“Give three of the babies up for adoption. Keep one. A few families are interested if you agree.”
Priya, broken yet defiant, shook her head:
“They are all my flesh and blood. I cannot part with any of them.”
She dropped to her knees, pleading with folded hands, begging them not to force her to choose.
A Mother’s Plea and the Power of Compassion
Desperate, Priya reached out to the media. Her story spread rapidly across social platforms. The nation listened. Tears were shed. Donations poured in. NGOs, kind-hearted individuals, and foundations rallied together.
Within weeks, enough funds were raised to cover every rupee of the babies’ hospital bills.
After two grueling months in neonatal care, the four boys recovered and were finally discharged into their mother’s waiting arms.
Healing and Reunion
Rakesh, guilt-ridden, returned a few weeks later — humbled by the public backlash and shamed by his own actions. Though trust wasn’t easily restored, Priya let him return — for the sake of their children.
Life remained tough. But together, they began to rebuild — one day, one bottle, one lullaby at a time.
What It Meant to Carry Four Lives
Pregnancy with quadruplets meant Priya faced:
Immense physical stress: Severe back pain, swollen limbs, and difficulty breathing were constant.
Nutritional strain: Her body required two to three times the usual intake, yet nausea and fatigue made it hard to eat.
Medical risks: Anemia, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and early labor posed life-threatening complications.
Mental pressure: Beyond the physical toll, societal pressure and family conflict made her journey even more isolating.
But she prevailed.
Because the love of a mother doesn’t count sacrifices.
It counts heartbeats.
And Priya heard all four.
