In England, Becki-Jo Allen and her baby daughter Indiana had secure,
peaceful lives.
But one day Becki-Jo started to feel queasy and thought she could be
expecting again.
It found out that she was definitely carrying triplets! But when it was
time to present them, a shock even greater than that revelation was in
store. Given the rarity of what occurred, the odds against it happening are
as high as 200 million to 1.
In England, Becki-Jo and her daughter Indiana reside just outside of
Liverpool. Their lives were peaceful until Becki-Jo started to wonder if
something was going on within her body one day. It started when she felt
sick to her stomach.
The Liverpool Echo quoted Becki-Jo as saying: "I had been feeling pretty
ill and had a really nasty headache so I scheduled an early scan and that
was when I found out I was having triplets. The biggest shock of my life,
that was!
Since we don't have any triplets in the family, it came as a complete
surprise.
Naturally astonished, the mother was also quite happy to hear the news.
Indiana was slated to be the older sibling of three! With the help of her
loved ones, Becki-Jo set out to psychologically be ready for the challenge
of bringing three children into the world.
Becki-Jo, however, was brought to the hospital in week 31 of her pregnancy
due to problems. There, she had a Caesarean section to deliver her triplets.
They were born quite early, and as a result, were very little.
Rocco, the tiniest, only weighed 3,3 lbs. The only somewhat heavier were
his brothers.
Due of their size, all three had to stay in intensive care for six
weeks.
Triplet pregnancies are risky, and it's uncommon for all three fetuses to
survive.
But Becki-three Jo's proved to be combative. They all made a full recovery,
put on weight steadily, and got stronger every day.
The boys were then allowed to leave the hospital after over 1.5 months and
go home.
Even though she had problems identifying her boys apart, Becki-Jo was now
certain that they weren't identical.
But as they developed, people still had trouble distinguishing between
them. Strangers would halt Becki-Jo in the middle of the street to
inquire!
The mother then made the decision to look into the situation more further
and got in touch with a lab to assist with DNA testing on the three
boys.
The outcomes demonstrated the brothers' genetic similarity. That may happen
with mind-blowingly astronomical odds of one in 200 million.
Apparently, the use of test tubes and hormone stimulation has raised the
likelihood of having triplets. Being genetically similar is still quite
uncommon.
"People often stop us while we're out and ask whether they are similar, so
we don't go anywhere quickly.
I had always believed they weren't since I had been informed that while I
was pregnant.
As one might anticipate, the family uses a lot of resources. The washing
machine is reportedly running nearly 24 hours a day, according to
Becki-Jo.
And look at how big they have become now!
