Sarah Johnson, age 31, gave birth to Darcie, Macy, and Bobbie-Ann at the hospital in Ormskirk. The triplets were born naturally – without artificial insemination. This probability is approximately 1 in 25,000. Sarah, who already has two sons, stated, “It was a huge shock to discover I was expecting triplets. I’ve waited eternally for a baby girl, and now I have three.”‘
Sarah, who previously referred to the three daughters as a “,” now has five children. Each of the triplets weighed 5 pounds at birth. Their mother stated, “My husband and I feel so privileged and fortunate. I am aware that we will be knee-deep in s and tts, but we cannot wait to bring them home.”
The family has purchased a new seven-seat vehicle to transport the sisters and their five- and seven-year-old siblings. Sarah, a health care assistant at the hospital in Southport, added, “We are purchasing three of everything and have three cots prepared for the sisters. It is a time of great excitement.” The triplets were born after 33 weeks and six days of gestation. The twins weighed approximately 5 pounds each. Two of the females are an exact match.
Lynne Eastham, chief of Nursing and M at Southport and Ormskirk hospital NHS Trust, remarked, “Multiple births are rare.” But for a woman to naturally give birth to triplets, the odds become even more astounding. We extend our congratulations and best wishes for the future to the family.
