On December 22, 2004, at a routine ultrasound dating scan, Jackie Clune was told she was pregnant with triplets. She had not undertaken any fertility treatment:indeed the pregnancy was an accident as her daughter was under a year old at the time. She and her partner were going from one child to four in almost a single bound. Thrown headlong into the world of multiple births:a risky, scary, and unpredictable world where there are few norms, little support, and practically no dedicated literature, Jackie's first response was a profound desire to punch the radiographer. This is the story of what happened next. From the first scan to the babies' first Christmas, she charts the physical, emotional, and practical rollercoaster of bringing three lives into the world all in one go. Essential reading for all parents of multiples:there are very few books available which offer more than a passing reference to twins or more, these stories will also appeal to anyone interested in how people cope in extreme circumstances.
