The Truth About Triplets: Highs, Lows & Everything in Between with Nadia Thorburn
What They Don’t Tell You (but we will!)Show Notes
In this episode of "What They Don’t Tell You", we sit down with the incredible Nadia Thorburn, mum of four, including a set of spontaneous triplets, for a raw and relatable conversation about what it’s really like to go from one child to four almost overnight. From the moment she found out she was expecting triplets, to navigating a high-risk pregnancy, endless nappies, and zero sleep, Nadia shares the emotional and physical toll of raising multiples, and the unexpected joys too. She opens up about the impact on her relationship, mental health, and identity, as well as the often-overlooked reality of parenting three babies at once.
We dive into what daily life looks like, the myths people believe about triplets, and the incredible support system that keeps her going. Plus, she shares her top hacks and one golden piece of advice for any parent-to-be hearing the word "triplets" for the first time.
This is an honest, warm, and inspiring chat that pulls back the curtain on a parenting experience few truly understand, and you won’t want to miss it.
