Parents Speechless over Birth of Identical Triplet Sisters, Odds Are One in 200 Million
Every child is a blessing and a miracle. Families and friends are always excited to celebrate a new life and spoil them with love.
Sometimes, on a rare occasion, a couple gets the exciting news of twins or triplets.
One couple in Cwmbran, South Wales, received the news that they were having identical triplets after conceiving naturally, beating the odds of one in 200 million.
In May 2017, 31-year-old Sian William and her 26-year-old boyfriend Aaron Palfrey welcomed their three daughters, Jorgie, Belle, and Olivia, to the world via Cesarean section.

“I was excited to be having one baby, but in the scan the doctor picked up two heart beats and then a third one,” said William. “One little egg had created three miracles.”
Jorgie was the first to be born at 2 lb 14 oz, Belle was second at 3 lb 2 oz and lastly was Olivia at 3 lb 2 oz.
Due to their babies being born at 32 weeks, William and Palfrey had to wait a few days before they could hold them.
“It was days before we were allowed to hold them but it was magical when we did. Aaron’s face was a perfect picture of pride. We couldn’t believe they were ours,” said William.
While caring for one newborn has its challenges, caring for three identical newborns certainly creates a few more.
William and Palfrey had to think creatively about how to tell the girls apart and decided on painting their toes different colors.
Jorgie wears purple on her toes, Belle has pink, and Olivia wears yellow.
“Of course its hard work but we love every minute of it,” said William. “We’ve swapped our Mercedes for a sensible family Land Rover — it is much easier to fit in three baby car seats.”
The three little miracles were born during a hard time for William, as she had lost her grandparents and her father within a year. Her three daughters brought great joy to her and her family.
The couple is able to do most of the childcare on their own, but they do have William’s loving mother and next-door neighbor Julie to help when needed. The three girls have just recently celebrated their first birthday.
