Mind blown! Mum gives birth to triplets - but then discovers THIS freaky fact about them

Awwww

July 03 2019

When mum Becki-Jo found out she was pregnant, she was shocked to discover she was expecting triplets.

“I had been being very sick and had a really bad headache, so I booked an early scan and that was when I found out I was expecting triplets. It was the biggest shock of my life!

“We haven’t got any triplets in the family, so it came completely out of the blue.”

In week 31 of her pregnancy, Becki-Jo was rushed to hospital with complications. There, she delivered her triplets via Caesarean section. Due to the premature nature of their births, they were extremely small.

But an even bigger shock was yet to come which would completely leave her doctors speechless. Tests showed there's a one in 200 million chance of having IDENTICAL triplets - but that's what happened with Rocco, Roman and Rohan.

“We don’t get anywhere fast when we are out because people are always stopping us when we’re out and asking if they are identical,” Becki explains.

“I was always convinced they weren’t, because that’s what I had been told during my pregnancy. But I really struggled to tell them apart."

Becki ordered some DNA testing and when the results came in, it was proved that the boys were genetically identical which only happens one in 200 million.

 

 

The cold mornings have struck ! Hats , gloves and scarves all on today ! It takes us about 25 minutes to walk to school , even though it's a 10 minute walk if I'm alone 😅. However it's never plain sailing with 4 kids . Got to ad time on the journey for kids to fall over , come to a stand still and refuse to walk , drop something or get a stone in the shoe 🙄 And at least one to have full blown tantrum 😑. Yes I've got my hands full , no they are much harder work than newborns and i cope because they are my babies and I'll walk to the earths ends for them 😘 #coldmorning #winterready #cold #school #snugasabug #triplets #twinsandmultiples #tierneytriplets #twinning #tripletsofinstagram #identical #multiples

The triplets are now three and Becki-Jo, who has an older daughter, Indiana Rose, looks back on the days when they were newborn with fondness because keeping up with three boys isn't easy.

'People are always curious about what is the easiest stage and believe it or not people think 3 three-year-olds are easier than three newborns!' she wrote on Instagram. 'Honestly give me the night feeds any day. These boys just run away, don't listen, they are way too big for a pram and I only have two arms so I am completely defeated by these rascals and they well and truly know it!'
