Identical Newborn Triplets

According to the reports of Centers for Disease Control, natural triplets take birth in just 1out of each 6889 pregnancies and matching newly born triplets take birth even rarer. Mothers of Supertwins, an institute of parents of with increased order multiples, places the event of matching triplets at one in each 62,500 pregnancies

Parenting matching newly born triplets can be an exciting experience for the new parents.

Method of Formation of Identical Triplets

The matching or identical triplets take birth when a fertilized egg breaks into three different embryos, thus producing three hereditarily identical babies. This indicates that the babies are nor just similar in looks but they possess the similar hereditary information in every cell. In this situation, doctors can not ascertain the reason behind splitting of fertilized egg, but they can understand that an unfinished division can cause the conjoining of unborn babies.

Identical triplets can possess their placentas and amniotic sacs in the uterus of their mother. Two or three babies can have single placenta and amniotic sac. Babies those share placentas with each other may develop twin to twin transfusion syndrome, which may occur in multiple pregnancies of increased order.

Triplet Pregnancy Risks

The case Triplet Pregnancies is genetically risky affair and it can cause many types of problems. The three babies share a limited space in the womb of their mother so, there is a great risk that the triplets can have problem of intra-uterine growth restriction.

Shared with generally short gestation period of just 33.7 weeks (in accordance with medical survey contacted by Mothers of Supertwins) in case of complicated triplet pregnancy, IUGR can cause very low weight during birth and extended hang out in neonatal intensive care unit after the delivery. Sadly, in accordance with CDC’s birth statistics, the fear of infant mortality in case of triplet pregnancies is ten times more than the case of singleton pregnancies.

The mothers those are pregnant with multiple children are usually referred to a perinatologist as they loose weight at fast rate during pregnancy. The perinatologist or high-risk-specialist will examine a case of multiple pregnancy very closely with recurrent ultrasounds, intensive monitoring and diagnostic testing during delivery and pregnancy.

Medical Staff for Triplet Births

Most of the cases of triplet pregnancies are handled by C- section and increased number of staff members is required for cases of multiple births. A planned C-section permits the hospital to attain the required number of staff members available during birth of baby. Normally the medical staff for delivery of triplets will involve neonatologists, surgeons and nurses. The staff members may involve respiratory therapists and anesthesiologists.

Probable Complications of Identical Newborn Triplets

Normally the weight of newly born triplets remains far more less than singleton babies. The less size of identical newborn triplets usually demand their hang out in the NICU and they are put in the risk of serious complications and prematurity such as chronic lung problem, hearing and vision problems, and cerebral palsy etc. Newly born triplets are required to be kept in NICU

For several weeks or months as they learn to take milk from breast or bottle, gain weight and are provided with additional oxygen
