As any mum with more than one baby under the age of four knows, juggling the demands of preschoolers is a constant challenge. 

 

Spare a thought then for Becca Johns, a Swansea woman who within weeks of giving birth to daughter Mya was pregnant again... with TRIPLETS.

 

The 30-year-old admitted that she and her partner Jason Evans was "shocked" - not to mention their wider family and friends - when told the news of her trio of impending arrivals. 

 

 

Thankfully, Raya and Phoebe and Ryan arrived safely in February this year, just 11 months after Miss Johns and Mr Evans welcomed Mya. 

 

They also have a nine-year-old daughter, Kayla.

 

Miss Johns told DailyMail.com: "They were all naturally conceived and they were each from a separate egg, which is really rare.

 

"Doctors told us it was the healthiest way to have triplets, because they all had a placenta each, it meant there was no risks associated with any one of them sharing a placenta."

 

 

Nicknaming them Snap, Crackle, and Pop Becca said that her pregnancy was largely trouble-free. The babies were born via casarean at 34 weeks gestation. 

 

Ryan weighed 4lb12oz, Raya weighed 4lb3oz, while Phoebe was 4lb11oz - all considered healthy weights for triplets. 

 

 

They spend six weeks in hospital before returning to the family's home in March.



"I’ve had to get a four seater pram because Mya had her first birthday when the triplets were only two weeks old," Becca says now. "And its a bit of a squash in our house now, but its all worth it."
