Follow OK! on Threads here: https://www.threads.net/@ok_mag My husband Rob and I gazed at each other in utter disbelief.Triplets!

What? That’s ridiculous – I couldn’t possibly be pregnant with three babies. Rob turned to the gynaecologist and said, “It’s April 10th not April Fool’s Day – don’t joke.” But he replied, “I never joke about triplets.” Even one baby would have been a shock.

I was paraplegic after a car accident and my life-changing spinal injuries meant I had no feeling from the waist down. Doctors had told me I wouldn’t be able to have children.

Rob and I had been astonished when I fell pregnant naturally with our first child, Scarlett. But triplets? Wow! As the news started to sink in, we felt nervous – but excited, too.Then one morning, when I was 26 weeks pregnant, I woke up feeling exhausted.
