She Was Pregnant, but an Ultrasound Showed Something Unxpected. No Words!

When Karen Gilbert found out that she was pregnant with extremely rare identical triplets, she was stunned and delighted. But doctors took a different view of her one-in-200 million pregnancy. They twice gave her an advise to terminate it, because of the three foetuses could take each other’s fluid and space and might not survive. But Mrs Gilbert and her husband Ian decided to save their three little girls. At last, Ffion, Maddison and Paige were born two months early on August 2. The couple from Pontypool, Wales, also have an older daughter Faye, aged three.

On this picture there are three 8-weeks-old girls. They are so tiny and weigh just six pounds - smaller than the average newborn.
"At first they didn’t look real and you could pick them up with one hand," father said.
