Michella Meier-Morsi is the proud mother of both triplets and twins. But the journey to get there hasn’t been easy, especially for her body.
Becoming a mother doesn’t always come easily. And for Michella Meier-Morsi of Denmark, it took a year of In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments before finally giving birth to her twin girls, Filippa and Ophelia, in 2018.

But this is precisely the kind of sacrifice moms willingly make so they can experience the miracle of birth. And though an issue called Diastasis recti required Michella to have surgery after delivering the twins, the joy of having two beautiful daughters outweighed the hardship.

Michella and her husband, Mark, knew giving their daughters a sibling was a long shot. The odds of getting pregnant were only 12-15%. But they decided to give it a try with one more IVF treatment.
Michella wasn’t sure what to expect as she headed into her ultrasound appointment. But she received amazing news. The treatment was a success and this time, there were three babies. That meant the woman who feared she’d never had kids would be the mother of triplets and twins!

“If it were not for the extreme pain, the triplets would have to stay in the stomach for a month or three more. It all just feels so overwhelming,” she confessed.

After her boys were born, the mom of triplets and twins continued experiencing physical discomfort. But even so, Michella admits it is all “worth it” and she’s “bursting with happiness and love” over her huge family.
