Johnson sisters defy the
odds!
A beaming Southport mum says the
birth of her naturally conceived triplet girls is:- "A miracle".
Sarah Johnson, 31, gave birth to Darcie, Macy and Bobbie Ann at Ormskirk
hospital on 21 January 2016.
The triplets were conceived naturally; without fertility treatment. The
chance of this is approximately 1 in 25,000.
Mum Sarah, who already has 2 boys, said:- "It was a massive shock to
learn I was pregnant with triplets. I've waited for a baby girl forever and
now I've got 3.
Me and the girls' dad feel so blessed and lucky. I know we will be knee deep
in nappies and feeding bottles, but we can't wait to get them home."
The family have now invested in a new 7 seat car to ferry the sisters with
their 2 brothers who are aged 5 and 7.
Sarah, who is a heath care assistant at Southport hospital, added:-
"We are buying three of everything and have 3 cots ready for the
sisters. It is a very exciting time."
Mum gave birth to the triplets after 33 weeks and 6 days. The girls each
weighed in at around 5lbs. 2 of the girls are identical.
Lynne Eastham, head of Nursing and Midwifery Southport and Ormskirk hospital
NHS Trust said:- "Multiple births are uncommon. But for a woman to
have triplets naturally, the odds become even more astonishing. We
wish the family congratulations and the best of luck for the future."
