Becki-Jo Allen, a 23-year-old mother from England, received an astounding surprise when she found out she was expecting triplets. The shock was even greater when she learned that the chances of her having triplets were as rare as one in 200 million.
Curious about the striking similarity among her triplets, Becki-Jo Allen decided to have DNA samples tested, prompted by observations from other mothers. The test results confirmed that her adorable ten-month-old triplets, named Roman, Rocco, and Rohan, were indeed born with a probability of one in 200 million.
Not only were they physically alike, but the triplets were also genetically identical. Despite this extraordinary resemblance, Becki-Jo Allen expressed that she had no difficulty telling her children apart, as each of them had distinctive birthmarks that helped her recognize them.
Identical triplets are a result of the fertilized egg splitting into two. Without fertility treatments, this occurrence happens with a rarity of between 60,000 and one in 200 million.
In cases where twins or triplets share the same membrane in the womb, they possess identical characteristics.
However, without DNA testing, it is challenging to verify this information in other cases.
