Identical Triplets Born Naturally

A New Mum has defied odds of 200 million to one by having identical triplets naturally.

BABY2_1718786aChantel Pinchon, 20, was thrilled when she gave birth to her 3 baby girls  Rose, Lexi and Ruby just two minutes apart.

She and fiancé Lewis Reddie, 24, now have FOUR babies under one — the triplet girls and their son Michael who is only nine months old.

Shop worker Chantel said: “It was a huge shock, especially as the pregnancy wasn’t planned.

“But I feel so lucky now they’re all here and healthy. We keep getting asked if it was through IVF, but it wasn’t.”  it all happened so naturally.

Chantal gave birth by Caesarean section at Great Western Hospital, Swindon, Wilts.

First came Rose weighing 4lb 2oz, followed by Lexi at 2lb 13oz and Ruby at 4lb 1oz.  Because they were born seven weeks premature they are being looked after in a special care unit until they are well enough to go home.

Army reservist Lewis said: “You really can’t tell them apart, although Lexi seems to fidget the most.”

The couple will need to buy a huge 6,000 nappies in the next year which led Lewis to say:  “I’ll be doing my fair share of the changing.”  Looks like Chantal and Lewis are going to be somewhat busy for the next few years and certainly will have their hands full when they all go home!
