I'd been warned, you know, you're having triplets, they'll be born early.

I thought that just meant, you know, maybe five or six weeks early, maybe they'd have to spend a couple of weeks in hospital to fatten up.

But this, you know, I never considered that this was going to happen to me.

And so when I was told,

Suddenly, it was like being hit by a truck.

I was suddenly told, your babies are going to die.

And I could... I just remember... I remember the doctor leaving the room, and I was on my own.

in just, I mean, it was, I can't even, there aren't even any words to describe.

And I rang Ash and said, you have to come quickly.

Anyway, they told us, you know, 24 hours, the babies are coming.

And then that didn't actually happen.

And so we were kept in, I think, in the delivery suite.

And, or maybe we were taken to the antenatal ward, but anyway, they took us to some bed somewhere and said, okay, you know, you'll start to have contractions at some stage.

Anyway, that day came and went and the next day came and went.

And by this stage, I had stopped leaking as well.

There was no more water coming out.

And so they took me for a scan.

And that was also, I remember we went for this scan, you know, in the department of the hospital.

And there they were, the three little babies on the screen of the scan.

And you could see them, they each had their own sac.
