NINETEEN-year-old Joanna Wiggins said she was so shocked when the doctor gave her the news she was going to have triplets that she passed out.

Months later, she is entitled to do a little jig, having given birth last month to the first triplets in Barbados in five years.

The three boys, Jaiden, Aiden and Kaiden, were born at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on August 15 at 33 weeks and a day, each weighing three pounds.

When the SUNDAY SUN visited the excited mother at her Eastbourne, St Philip home, she and proud grandmother Pauline Woodley were taking turns feeding the newborns. (MB)
