One year ago, after being told her chances of having children naturally were slim, an identical twin mother revealed that she has become a mom-of-3 after giving birth to her second child two days after she turned one.
Emma Geairns, 34, from Poole, gave birth to her twin boys, Noah and Arthur, just two days after her daughter Harlow’s first birthday in February 2021.
Harlow (21 months) and Harlow (9 months), arrived at Emma’s home after she had been advised that Emma would be unable to get pregnant due the way her cervical and uterus align.
Jamie (32-year-old property developer) and Emma tried for one year to conceive Harlow. They were stunned when Harlow fell pregnant once more when she was only a few months.

Emma stated that they had decided to relax after one year of trying and instead spend the summer having fun drinking and eating.
“It wasn’t until then that I realized I was actually pregnant.
“Then, after Harlow it was assumed that it would again take years, particularly after all the advices from doctors.
“But, it was actually the first time that we had sex since I gave birth. I was also pregnant again.”
Emma was 25 years old when doctors told her that there was a slim chance she would conceive naturally.
It was something she discovered after an ovaries test. The doctors said that because my cervix is aligned with my uterus, it made it unlikely.
After a year-long struggle, Emma (32), who is a property developer, and Jamie (32) live in Poole in Dorset. Harlow was born to them.
“At that time I was able to take it all in stride. I decided to concentrate on my job, but I got married and we knew we had to give it a try.
“My friends always tell me that you are the friend they recommend to other friends.
“I am the one who was told that I could not have children. I then had three within a year.”
The twin pregnancy of the second child was not easy.
Harlow (21 months) and twins Harlow (9 months), arrived in Emma’s home after she was informed that there was a slim chance of her naturally having children.

She stated, “At first I assumed that it was only one baby.
“Early in my pregnancy, I began bleeding. I was told by the doctors that I’d had a miscarriage.
“I was concerned that my condition would not worsen and I should be able to go back home.
“But they said that I did not have just one healthy foetus but two!”

Emma claims Jamie believed Emma when Jamie first heard her tell him.
“Because of coronavirus he was not allowed to enter the doctors with us.
“I was stunned and overwhelmed to learn that I had twins. At first, I thought I had lost one of my babies.
He tried to console me and said we could always try again.
Double trouble! Two days and one year after the birth of their big sister, twins were born.
He thought that I was making fun of him when I explained it was twins.
Jamie and Emma don’t currently have plans for any additional children.
She stated, “It is really mad to have three children under 2 years old.”
“It’s incredible, but hard work.
“We feel very lucky to have 3 healthy children. I’m so thankful and happy.”
