On December 22, 2004, at a routine ultrasound, Jackie was told she was carrying triplets. She and her partner were going from one child to four in almost a single bound. Thrown headlong into the world of multiple births, Jackies 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, Extreme Motherhood will also also appeal to anyone interested in how people cope in extreme circumstances.
