Woman Gives Birth To 200 Million To One Odds Identical Triplet Same Time

    Ten-month-old Roman, Rocco and Rohan Tierney are completely identical - meaning the odds of them being born were up to one in 200 million

Mum Conceived naturally and gave birth to trio so identical that they beat the odd of 200 million to One Odd of been born same time .They are the youngest of what is thought to be only a handful of naturally conceived sets of identical triplets in the UK.

But for their 23-year-old mother, tell-tale features plus the ten-month-old triplets’ emerging personalities mean she for one has no trouble telling them apart.
‘When they were newborns it was quite hard to tell which one was which, but I never got them mixed up myself,’ she said yesterday.
 They’ve all got dark birthmarks between their eyebrows, but Roman’s is slightly darker than the others’, and Rohan has got a birthmark on his leg as well.
 ‘When they were in the hospital, the doctors said they were non-identical, but since they came home lots of people have said they can’t tell them apart.’ Miss Allen Said.

According to the Multiple Births Foundation, the only way to establish for certain whether twins or triplets are identical – known as zygosity determination – is usually DNA testing.

The triplets get through around 130 nappies a week between them and four packs of baby wipes, while a pack of formula lasts about two days and the washing machine is run around three times a day



  Identical triplets are conceived when the fertilised egg splits twice. The odds against them occurring without fertility treatment have been put at between one in 60,000 and one in 200million

  The triplets' mother Becki-Jo Allen (pictured with the triplets and her daughter Indiana) was shocked to find out the three little cuties are all identical

  Sleeping beauties: The gorgeous trio are adored by their big sister Indiana who is apparently 'not jealous at all' of her baby brothers
 The triplets were delivered by caesarean section at 31 weeks. Rocco was 3lb 5oz, Roman was 3lb 6oz and Rohan was 3lb 10oz.
