Allman and her husband welcomed their twins prematurely on January 31, 2013.
They arrived 81 days before the due date and spent three months in intensive care before they were strong enough to be taken home.
Allman had a difficult pregnancy and was eventually diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She spent months on bed rest because of a shortened cervix before a bladder infection led to the premature delivery.
Her husband, who was present at the birth, fainted and fell off his chair. He started vomiting when he woke up and was ordered out of the delivery room.
“He started crawling out of the operating room on all fours,” recalled Allman.
In May 2014, the couple welcomed their third child, daughter June Joanne. They had announced that their daughter was set to arrive in June, but she came out before her due date, just like her older brothers.
