Woman on Pill Conceives Identical Triplets
Posted by Hannah Tennant-Moore at 12:15 PM on October 13, 2008
The chances of getting pregnant while on the birth control
pill are about 1 to 2 percent–this is actually not an insignificant percentage, when you
consider that about 2 women out of 100 on the pill will get pregnant. But the chances of having identical triplets are laughably minuscule: 200 million to one.
So, the odds of having both of these things happen
simultaneously are, well, too tiny for me to wrap my mind around. But that is
exactly what happened to 22-year-old Kirsty Hale. Though they profess to be still in shock, Hale and her fiancé, 28-year-old Toby Wilson, quickly
adjusted to the idea of becoming an “instant family.” Lily, Gabriella, and Alicia
were born by emergency C-section a few days ago, and are all in good health.
