A mother identified as Chervonne Magaoa, has died just hours after giving birth to healthy triplet boys.
According to Metro UK, Chervonne Magaoa conceived the boys through IVF and had a smooth pregnancy until five days before her due date when she was told she needed an emergency caesarean.
The 34-year-old, who was born in New Zealand, gave birth to three healthy boys but started experiencing complications almost immediately after the operation.
Just a few hours later, Chervonne died from an extremely rare medical condition, called ‘amniotic fluid embolism’.
This occurs when amniotic fluid enters the mother’s bloodstream causing a severe reaction.
Her father Bishop Hyran told the New Zealand Herald: ‘By 5.30pm, the babies were born. Everything was fine and then she got a complication.
‘She had an amniotic fluid embolism and that was her cause of death.
‘The doctor said statistics-wise, it only happens to one in 100,000 [women], so it was a rare event.’
One of the triplets
The babies, who were named Aayden, Blaise and Carson, are now with their father Martin Magaoa, who will have to raise the triplets alone along with the couple’s six-year-old daughter, Tanner.
The couple married in 2007 and had difficulty having children so tried IVF to conceive the triplets.
A GoFundMe page has now been set up by family friends Jan Lesuma and Billy Racule to help with funeral and
Ms Lesuma wrote: ‘With a heavy heart, it pains us to announce that Chervonne sadly passed away Thursday evening while giving birth to her triplet sons.
‘She is survived by her loving husband Martin, beautiful six-year old son Tanner and thankfully, her three new baby boys.
‘Everyone that knows Chervonne can attest to her witty humor, her true friendship and her fierce love and devotion to her family.
‘We ask that you please donate what you can to help Chervonne’s family at this truly devastating time.’
