She Was Pregnant, but an Ultrasound Showed Something Unxpected. No Words!

Karen Gilbert, 32, said: "The pregnancy has taken its toll but now I’m taking my time to recover and get to know my three beautiful girls." 
When Karen Gilbert found out that she was pregnant with extremely rare identical triplets, she was stunned and delighted. But doctors took a different view of her one-in-200 million pregnancy. They twice gave her an advise to terminate it, because of the three foetuses could take each other’s fluid and space and might not survive. But Mrs Gilbert and her husband Ian decided to save their three little girls. At last, Ffion, Maddison and Paige were born two months early on August 2. The couple from Pontypool, Wales, also have an older daughter Faye, aged three.

Ian Gilbert, a 34-year-old business manager, said: "We couldn’t consider termination – they were our babies. They were scanned every week to make sure they were growing fine." 

They all grew and fought so quickly it was practically ripping Karen’s muscles apart. 

On this picture there are three 8-weeks-old girls. They are so tiny and weigh just six pounds - smaller than the average newborn.
