Couple Identical Triplets Birth Beat '1 in 200 Million' Odds

A couple has defied astronomical odds by welcoming not one, not two, but three identical bundles of joy into their lives. According to Daily Mail Online UK, a couple shockingly conceived three identical babies last year. The parents prematurely delivered the three bundles of joy last March 31 at the York Hospital.

According to Metro UK, the three identical girls, Marvella, Evalynn, and Harper-Gwen, were extraordinarily born, weighing 3lb 1oz, 3lb, and 2lb 13oz. At first, the young couple expected identical twins, which is quite common, with a chance rate of one in 250. However, they later learned they were dealing with something much rarer - identical triplets.

The ecstatic parents were overjoyed to find out they were expecting three babies after an ultrasound revealed that they were beating in harmony in Jenni's womb. James admits he is "speechless" upon learning they have triplets, which saw the light of day in the 12-week scan.

A couple of weeks after, or on the 20-week scan, to be exact, the couple learned that they were identical triplets. The father of the three babies recalls that Jenni sent her scan photos, which showcase "three heads together." After their birth, the triplets spent roughly six weeks in the Special Care Baby Unit at York Hospital.

How Are They Dealing With Identical Triplets

The three bundles of joy are already home with their parents, their older sisters Gabriella, a four-year-old, and Danica (10 years old).

The father of the five girls, James, says they are admittedly "overwhelmed" with the incredibly rare situation, yet he finds it "amazing" as they are now home. Meanwhile, their two older daughters are already "over the moon" and "excited" to see their three identical siblings.

Jenni and James are now trying to navigate the challenges of raising their three identical wonders. When the triplets first got home, their parents used their hospital wristbands to identify them by name.

To further avoid any confusion in dealing with the beautiful chaos, they gave them their dedicated seats and bouncing chairs, Mirror UK reports. The couple shares, "We have three different ones, and we put them in the chair so we know which one is which."

James emphasized that if someone tried to mix the three adorable babies with their eyes closed, they would have difficulty figuring out their names. The couple is now navigating uncharted waters for most parents, caring for three extraordinarily identical babies.
