The odds are 1 in a Million

(Kerry here)

A women recently delivered BBB triplets and they were spontaneous just like us. The added surprise is they are identical. When this women was delivered the news of triplets she said, “I was smiling from ear to ear. I thought I’d won the jackpot.” Read her identical triplets story.

Our triplets could be 1 in a million too! (they are to us either way :) )

To have identical triplets you need:

Check MArk Triplets

Check MArk Same Gender

uncheck Same Genetic Matieral

We know we have met 2 out of 3 of the requirements! The funny thing is we could deliver identical triplets and not even know it. Sometimes the only way to tell is with a DNA test. Identical siblings arise where one egg is fertilized and the resulting zygote splits into more than one embryo. Another possibility is there was 2 eggs and one split twice, resulting in two identicals and one fraternal.

We are scheduled to be interviewed by the Rockford News this weekend. I told Jenell they could headline the story:

“The odds are 1 in a Million. Will this Beloit couple deliver ?”

fyi-one way to know w/o the dna test is to get the nicu nurses to give you their blood types- if they all three have different blood types, or if one is an odd man out so to say, then you will know if they are identical or not! if you get three of the same blood types & gender then you go on to the dna test! hope that helps!

I am 41 years old and I have the best story on indentical triplets. I, too are expecting indentical triplets without the assistance of any fertility/fertility pills. My brother is an RN and I can not convince him that indentical triplets is possible. My mother had male indentical triplets and I too am pregnant with indentical triplets. These babies will be our 1st, 2nd, 3rd and last. I owe all this to Almighty God, without him no of this would be possible. My story is both unique and powerful but it is my testimony of how beautiful things happen in your life when you surrender your life to Jesus.
