The Beloved Actress Opens up About Giving Birth to Twins
Bonnie Sveen has undertaken the role of a lifetime.
Despite barely sleeping a wink for the past month, the former Home and Away star is happier than she’s ever been before in her new a role as mum.
“How could I have possibly earned this double miracle in my life?” she gushes to New Idea.
The 29-year-old and her partner Nathan Gooley welcomed identical girls Myrtle Mae and Emerald Lois SveenGooley on Sept. 29.
While the foursome is now safely nestled in their home in rural Tasmania, it was a bumpy start for the new family.
Bonnie – who played Ricky on the long-running Seven drama – spent four days in hospital after giving birth while her newborn twins spent almost two weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Royal Hobart Hospital after being born almost a month premature.
“Because of the distance we are away from the hospital we were able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House for that amount of time,” Bonnie explains. “It made just a huge difference. It was nice being so close to the girls and getting the maximum time with them in those critical first weeks.”
Was it hard being apart from them for so long?
It had its moments towards the end, of just craving that one-onone time, and I’m sure all parents feel that way if they go through special care. We were blessed with really incredible nurses and that extended stay meant we were able to soak up lots of tricks and techniques from the midwives and the NICU staff.
We felt so much more equipped as parents of twins. They showed us so much encouragement and positivity and support and that really helped us all recover and be able to come at it confidently. It made me want to do a hospital drama!
