Apparently the chances were 1 in 500,000 or something like that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets/page/2#post-2320130 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 18:01:44 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2320130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I taught triplet boys. Two of the boys were identical and one was not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2320014 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:21:26 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2320014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: I don't take it as any diss against people who need fertility treatments. I think it was just to emphasize the shock and surprise since when you undergo fertility treatments you understand that you are increasing your risk for multiples. So it is that much more of a surprise when higher order multiples happen naturally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319753 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:07:55 +0000 CakeLady 2319753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An exec at my former job had triplets. At the time, they were applying to college! I cannot imagine paying for 3 college tuitions especially at the same time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319746 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:02:53 +0000 JennyPenny 2319746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a coworker with accidental triplets. Like they were not trying to get pregnant and had an oopsie pregnancy that turned out to be triplets! I can't even imagine. They're all healthy and happy though :)</p> <p>ETA: Wow, same story as @valentinemommy but my coworker had girls :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319738 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:57:54 +0000 78h2o 2319738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are friends with a family who has triplets. She was taking clomid. They were born at 27w and teeny tiny, but all are doing pretty well right now (almost 2 years old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319731 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:55:57 +0000 MsMini 2319731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This it a terrifying thought! We have 2 and are considering having a 3rd baby in the future but the thought that we could end up with twins or more scares the 💩 out of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319706 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:36:40 +0000 skipra 2319706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's coworker had a boy followed by triplet girls a year later. Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319698 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:33:27 +0000 Mae 2319698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg that is terrifying lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319693 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:29:03 +0000 MrsSCB 2319693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband could have been a triplet, but they lost one somewhat early on. He and his sister were conceived via IVF, though. Crazy, I can't imagine having triplets! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319670 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:21:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2319670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow that's going to be one busy family! Bring on the mini-van for sure! lol I find multiples so fascinating :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319661 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:15:56 +0000 Dandelion 2319661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!</p> <p>This is the type of thing that assures me that I'm done having babies. I don't want to chance it if I try for "just one more!" lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319503 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 12:02:37 +0000 ValentineMommy 2319503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A coworker of mine has triplet sons. They were surorise babies too - they weren't even ttc!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319287 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:50:34 +0000 Reese 2319287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I can't imagine!</p> <p>@twodoghouse: I think it is SO awesome that you and your sister both have twins! What an awesome experience to share! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319193 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:12:52 +0000 twodoghouse 2319193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Unfortunately people are super fascinated with whether or not multiples were conceived with fertility meds or not. Every time I'm out with my twins I get some variation of "which side do twins run on?" "Was it a huge surprise?" "Did you have help?" Or "are they natural?" :shocked: I try to keep my sense of humor about it, but there seems to be a serious preoccupation with this and it gets obnoxious sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319179 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:07:20 +0000 LAZB 2319179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: they are crazy odds, that's for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319167 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:04:34 +0000 MrsKoala 2319167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: My friends didn't announce that they didn't have fertility help but a family member did and tagged them in a post on social media. I think the family member was amazed at the odds (1 in 300,000!!) and that might be why they wrote the post. I wouldn't have known or cared how they got triplets without seeing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319159 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:00:34 +0000 LAZB 2319159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know three people with triplets, all have two boys and a girl. One of them also has an older son, but the other two just have the triplets.<br /> Maybe I'm just in a mood, but I find it very annoying that anyone would announce and also include that they didn't have fertility assistance. Does it make it any less amazing when babies are conceived with help?<br /> But good for them, they are going to have a crazy house full of love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319144 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 09:54:37 +0000 MrsKoala 2319144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, triplets and they were also spontaneous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319093 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 09:36:48 +0000 Mamasig 2319093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have triplet nieces conceived through IVF. Two eggs were put in and one split creating triplets. They are 4 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2319074 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 09:29:22 +0000 dagret 2319074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: one of my best friends has triplets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2318847 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 08:05:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 2318847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A former coworker of my mom's had natural triplets, she was an older mom (40) and they decided they wanted to have a child together (married later in life, both had teenagers from previous marriage) and boom they got 3! 2 girls and a boy. It was a shock to say the least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2318834 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:58:49 +0000 blackbird 2318834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dayyyyummmmm.

I hope your friend has a good support system - she's going to be in for a wild ride! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2318804 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:41:52 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2318804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My old babysitter (from when I was a kid) has triplets and an older son. I only know her from Facebook these days but it looks pretty crazy! They have a close family so I think there is a lot of support. One of my good friends has twins and I think there are great things about it but I'd be so overwhelmed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2318798 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:39:54 +0000 BandDmommy 2318798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be so scared!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2318766 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:23:14 +0000 lilteacherbee 2318766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a family with quintuplets in our neighborhood :shocked: 2 girls and 3 boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2318761 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:18:27 +0000 ShootingStar 2318761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our next door neighbors have triplet 9 year old boys. They don't seem identical so I'm guessing fertility treatments. And they have an older daughter. Must be crazy in their house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/triplets#post-2318745 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:53:53 +0000 Smurfette 2318745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin has triplets, one boy and two girls.
