Premature triplets come home after 2 months in hospital in time for Christmas A couple whose identical triplets spent over two months in hospital said having them home is the “best Christmas present”.
At 19-weeks along, doctors told Shannon her cervix had tunneled and shortened - which meant she could give birth within two weeks.They were given a heartbreaking option to “terminate one or two babies” to help one survive if born early, but Shannon and Ace refused.
Last Thursday (19/12) Shannon and Ace were finally able to bring their boys home just in time for Christmas.
Shannon went into early labour naturally at 29 weeks and welcomed her premature triplets Cruz weighing 2Ib7oz (1.1kg), Enzo 2Ib11oz (1.2kg), and Aljo 2Ib13oz (1.2kg).
Shannon Page, 29, and husband, Ace, 28, turned to IVF treatment last year and had their first embryo implanted at the end of March 2024.
