Ready or Not

Lawyer and mother of four Silje Andersen-Cooke on raising triplets while making work, work


Listen Later

Picture this: you're a mother of one, you're newly pregnant and you're at your dating scan. The sonographer goes a little quiet. There's not one baby in your tummy, there's not even just the two. You're pregnant with triplets.

This is what happened to now mother of four and litigation lawyer Silje Andersen-Cooke.

I can physically feel the shock and worry of it all: wondering what this means for your babies, what this means for your body, what recovery might look like, and how on earth you return to work after triplets.

Here, Silje walks us through it all: the delightful and the demanding, the exhausting and exhilarating life that is raising triplets while making work, work.

Please note that this is Silje's story and that this episode is not to be taken as medical advice.
