Stacey, 18, expecting triplets

PREGNANT Stacey Thompson was stunned into silence when she discovered she is having triplets.

The 18-year-old from Cuckfield Close in Pebsham had her first scan on September 12 when the trio were discovered.

Stacey held the hand of her boyfriend James Tupper, 19, and said nothing.

"I was just in complete and utter shock! It took the whole weekend to get over it." said Stacey.

"There are no triplets or twins in my family or James' family. The nurse was very surprised - she had to get another consultant in to check.

"She said I was very special, like a miracle."

Stacey is 12 weeks into the pregnancy, with the triplets due on April Fools Day.

Stacey will travel to St Thomas's in London for her next scan and has started to look around for special triplet baby items.

A triplet pram was an idea that has been put on the side-lines in favour of a twin pram and a carry cot.

"You can't get a triplet pram through doors," said Stacey.

Stacey lives with her parents Gerald and Lynn, who are both happy and excited about becoming grandparents to triplets.
