25-year-old Ukrainian woman Elena Sedova from Marhanets became famous when she gave birth to triplets who are aged 5 weeks apart. Baby Likeria was born 38 days earlier than her sisters, Stephaniya and Zlata, KP.ua reported.
The Father of the Kids Walked Off and Never Showed Up
The doctors predicted that Elena’s pregnancy wouldn’t not be easy, but it turned out to be unique. One of the triplets was born 5 weeks earlier than the other two. The baby’s weight at birth was only 900 grams (2 lb) and was born on the 27th week of pregnancy in April 2015. The mother’s waters broke when she was at home. After Likeria was born, the labour stopped, KP reported. Doctors thought that the other two kids would be born within days but they managed to prolong the pregnancy for another 5 weeks, which allowed the other two babies to grow and become stronger.
The other two baby girls were born healthy 38 days later. Doctors were monitoring the pregnant mother for the whole time.
The mother of unusual triplets said that the father of her children, Dmitry, left them when she was pregnant.
Elena met the father of her kids in Dnipropetrovsk. She had just graduated from the university as an engineer, rented an apartment, and found a job. Dmitry used to give her large bouquets of flowers telling how much he loved her. He wanted to have children. The couple decided to live together after two months of dating and courtship. The young lovers decided to wait with the wedding because of the expense. When Elena discovered that she was pregnant, at first Dmitry seemed happy and brought her a big bunch of flowers.
However, when he found out that Elena was pregnant with triplets, his enthusiasm vanished. He became gloomy and kept telling Elena that he would not be able to provide for three kids. Then he stopped answering her messages and phone calls. When the company Elena was working for found out about her pregnancy, they didn’t extend her contract. She was unable to pay rent and had to go to her home town Marhanets to live with her family.
After the birth of her unusual triplets, Elena became famous, and the mother of her ex-boyfriend contacted her during a TV program. Dmitry’s mother disclosed that Elena’s former lover already had a child from his first marriage. She also said that Dmitry had a problem with illegal drugs.
Local authorities assisted Elena in getting a home for herself and her daughters. Previously she and the kids lived with her mom and a brother in a small house. The new 5-bedroom house gifted by the Ukrainian government will allow each of the girls to have her own room.
Elena receives only 2500 hryvnia (USD $98) as a child support payment from the government. Now that the girls turned one, she plans to return to work, while the kids are in a child care.
Elena admits that she feels absolutely happy today. She sounds optimistic and believes that the most important thing is the health of her children.
The father of the children never contacted Elena after his departure.

He’s not a man. He’s just not, doesnt deserve to be called a man. Sperm donor, maybe. Coward, little boy, invertebrate, pussy, yelllow belly, narcissist, incompetent, immoral, woman hater and momma’s boy all work. Guys like this truly anger and disgust me. To me its another sign of how far downhill we’ve come in the training of boys in the ideals of manhood in the last 150 years. Masculinity and pride in being a man isnt instilled in boys as it once was. Boys arent taught that self esteem and happiness come from bearing the burden of manly roles and… Read more »
Ukraine has had a lot of hardship over the last decades, including 2 revolutions, a loss of a large part of its territory and a civil war, which is still ongoing. Over 3 millions of Ukrainians (total country’s population is 42 million) moved to work abroad (2.6 million in Russia, over 1 million in Poland). Think Syria just with white Christian population. People of Ukraine are not used to living democratically and look to the government to solve all their problems.
i see. Turmoil like that definitely leads to a moral breakdown, i understand better now. I was writing some thoughts on the international marriage business yesterday, mostly answering common criticisms leveled against men who seek foreigm brides by fellow westerners with no experience or kniowledge of it. Since they dont really know what gies on they create criticism of men like me from an unwarranted and false set of underlying assumptions that needs to be verbalized so they can see that their arguments reek with bias and arent fair or true. For instance, “Shes a girl from a country wracked… Read more »
Well, it’s kind of sums it up 🙂

The father’s behavior isn’t so unusual. Unfortunately some men are afraid of being responsible for only one kid, let alone three children. But it is happiness for Elena to have three healthy daughters anyway. I believe she will meet a better man one day.
