The title "supermum" gets thrown around a lot these days, but Jana Pittman has definitely earned it. Showing off her adorable newborn twins, Willow Jacomina and Quinlan Jay, in an exclusive interview with New Idea, the former Olympian has revealed that she went into early labour after saving her 16-month-old son Charlie from a nasty fall down the stairs.
Pittman, who is now a mum to six children, explains that she fell down seven or eight steps while trying to catch her toddler, and later that day her contractions began despite still being at just 35 weeks.
"At first I was in shock because I wasn't prepared for an early childbirth," said Pittman, who made history as the first Australian woman to compete at both the summer and winter Olympics.
