JANA PITTMAN ‘IT'S A MIRACLE MY TWINS ARRIVED SAFELY'

Gently cradling a suckling child under each armpit, there is no hint of the danger that precipitated the arrival of babies Quinlan and Willow on the face of their famous mum, Jana Pittman.

Just weeks ago, the Olympian turned doctor and new mum of six gave birth to her premature, button-cute twins after a fall at her Sydney home.

“I was walking up the stairs with my son, Charlie, when he fell backwards,” explains Jana, whose tummy was so large at 35 weeks pregnant, she couldn’t see her feet.

“I went to catch him and, in the process, fell backwards myself, down 7 or 8 steps.”

The normally dexterous former 400m hurdles world champ didn’t land on her stomach, but did bang her head and graze her knee.

“I tried all day to keep calm,” says 39-year-old Jana, who found the strength to fulfil a speaking gig later in the day. “But I could feel the contractions starting during the talk, so I took myself straight off to hospital after!”

Admitting that the fall probably brought on the early arrival of her much-wanted babies hours later, the popular doctor, who works at the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney, is overjoyed her new munchkins are healthy and now putting on weight.
