But an "urgent" trip to the emergency room resulted in the surprise of their lives!
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!
