What is the due date? July 1 is the 40 week date. They have never provided a "triplets due date". On average, triplets are born at 34 weeks, which would be mid-May. Her doctor said they would not let her go past 36 weeks (beginning of june), but would give her the option to have them at 35 weeks (end of May). We have always planned on a may arrival.
What are the odds? This is the first thing (after cost of college in 2029) i researched after returning to work from the first ultrasound when we found out in mid-December. The odds of natural triplets are about 1 in 8000 depending on the study.
Do multiples run in the family? There have been multiple instances of twins in Courtney's family. I was not entirely aware of this. Would have been good information to share.......
Are they identical? No. They are all in separate sacs with separate placentas. I guess the two boys could still be identical, but it would be rare.
Will there be a C section? Yes. They could be born naturally, but that would be rare and they would all have to be lined up very specifically, like tiny little Germans.
How long will the babies be in the hospital? Undetermined. Depends on when they are born and if there are any issues. If born this week, we would expect weeks in the hospital....if at 36 weeks, maybe a lot shorter.
Will this be it in terms of children? Will you have more? Serious questions only please. Any future debates of this will end quickly with my trump card....."You know, you could have triplets again"
