A couple has spoken of their joy after having identical triplets – defying odds of up to 200 million to one.
Alex and Amy Lindsay were only expecting to see just one baby when they attended their 12-week appointment, but were instead told there was three instead.
The couple already had two children, four-year-old Elijah and two-year-old Zion, and received a ‘massive shock’ when they saw the babies on the scan.
Despite how happy the couple is with their new children, Amy adds: ‘The biggest challenge comes at feeding time when you’ve three babies all wanting to be fed at the same time,’ even though ‘they’re very settled babies’, while Alex claimed space is an issue.
The couple were planning for this to be their last child, and as they already had two children, they were concerned as to how they would manage another three babies.
Amy gave birth to her three sons on July 9 at the Sunderland Royal Hospital, naming them Abel, Asher, and Azariah, who were all identical.
Though estimates vary, the odds of having identical triplets are between one in 60,000 to one in 200 million, meaning the couple were very lucky.
