Local News Congratulations and wow
The Robertson family of Glass House Mountains doubled in size recently when mum of one Bianca gave birth to triplets born at 34 weeks, making Bianca and husband Pete parents with four children under two. Indiana, Dakota and Hendrix created plenty of excitement at the hospital as the first set of natural triplets to be born at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Neonatologist Dr Charles Kilburn describes natural triplets as very uncommon and a very special situation. It was not quite what Bianca had been planning, saying that she had been asking the universe for twins “and somewhere along the line I overshot”.

The recent expansion of the hospital’s neonatal unit means that SCUH has gone from a level four to a level five nursery. “Multiple births meant babies were often at least a few weeks premature and their blood sugar and breathing needed some monitoring,” Dr Kilburn said. “We've got additional staff and additional facilities that allow us to look after these smaller and younger babies locally rather than have them transferred away to Brisbane.” The triplets each weighed more than 2kg at birth and the hospital has advised that all three babies are doing very well. Bianca, Pete and their two-year-old son Maverick are settling into life as a family of six.
