SUMMER LISTENING: The Mum Whose Spontaneous Triplets Arrived All at Once
About this episode
Silje Andersen-Cooke shares her unexpected journey of delivering spontaneous triplets while managing a high-risk pregnancy and her toddler.
This summer we've curated your Delivery Room playlist with even more birth stories from our friends at Diary Of A Birth. Enjoy! When 26-year-old Silje and her husband Jordan decided to expand their family beyond their 18-month-old son Mads, they never imagined what would happen next. In today's episode, Silje shares the breathtaking moment at her dating scan when the sonographer counted not one, not two, but three heartbeats—completely spontaneous fraternal triplets with no family history of multiples. From navigating a high-risk pregnancy while caring for a toddler and maintaining her legal career, to the extraordinary cesarean birth where she'd already named each baby based on their distinct movements in utero. Silje takes us through her journey of delivering Ada, Teddy and Eric at 34 weeks, and how this unexpected blessing transformed her into an advocate for multiple birth families across Australia. Diary Of A Birth features mums telling their miraculous stories of bringing life into the world. If you’d like to share your birth story, we’d love to hear from you at podcast@mamamia.com.au or send us a voice note here . THE END…
