Finding out you’re having triplets can come as a big surprise to most women. When doctors told 23-year-old Becky Jo Allen she would have three children, her life took her by surprise.
But as soon as Becky gave birth to Joe, she got another message that no one was ready for. Apparently
Two years ago, Becky Joe Allen and Liam Tierney received the amazing news, which they immediately shared with their only daughter, Indiana.
The couple, who live outside of Liverpool, UK, were thinking about having more children, but when Becky Jo had an ultrasound, the parents were surprised to learn that it wasn’t one or two, but three.
Early in her pregnancy, Becky Joe was feeling unwell and had a severe headache. Doctors scheduled her for an ultrasound earlier than usual. Then they found out that they were going to have triplets.
“It was the biggest surprise of my life! We don’t have triplets in the family so we left the office completely upset,” Becky Joe told the Liverpool Echo.
The three boys, Roman, Rocco and Rohan, were born by cesarean section when Becky Jo was in her 31st week of pregnancy. Each of the boys weighed about 1.5 kg and spent the first six weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Being pregnant with triplets, the mother was closely monitored because major complications could occur, with the risk of one or more fetuses not surviving.
But fortunately, the three brothers recovered completely and gained weight, and after a month and a half of hospitalization, they were ready to know their home.
Everyone who visited the family noticed how similar the newborns are.
The mother contacted a clinic to perform a DNA test. After the samples were collected and sent to a laboratory, the answer came: Roman, Rocco and Rohan were genetically identical.
Multiple pregnancies have become more common within Vitro fertilization and other infertility treatments. But identical triplets are extremely rare cases.
Roman, Rocco, and Rohan look like they were copied in indigo, but Becki-Jo has no problem distinguishing her sons.
“It simply came to our notice then. But they all have different personalities and they all have small birthmarks between their eyebrows. Roman is a little more Creole than the others, and Rohan has a birthmark on his leg as well “, says Becki-Jo.
Triplets use about 130 diapers a week. Add to that five packets of napkins a week and you’ll see that these boys keep their parents pretty busy.
Indiana, 6, looks pretty happy with her adorable siblings. What a proud sister!
“Indiana loves them. She’s not jealous at all. I feel a little pity for her, thinking that she has to grow up with three younger brothers! ”Becki-Jo added.
These triplets will surely receive special attention for a long time to come. And it’s really worth it because it’s an adorable band.
