Giving birth to triplets or more vaginally is very rare. It is not recommended because of the higher risk of labour complications and infant mortality. Since almost all triplets or more will be born prematurely, they will need special care. This may include a stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Identical twins or triplets happen when a single egg is fertilized and then later splits. These newly divided embryos are identical. Children that are identical multiples will look like each other and be the same sex. Fraternal multiples develop from separate eggs that are fertilized by a different sperm.

It won’t surprise you to learn that identical triplets are rare: Doctors frequently call these births a one in a million occurrence. They’re actually more like a 20 or 30 in a million occurrence, according to research, but that’s still pretty nifty.

Triplets can also happen when two separate eggs are fertilized by two different sperm, and one of those eggs splits into two, forming monozygotic (identical) twins. Two of the babies would be alike and the same gender, while the third could be the same or a different gender with their own unique features.
