A Pennsylvania woman has given birth to triplets, but not just any triplets…but identical triplets. It is very rare to give birth to identical triplets so I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the future.

The triplets were born at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh this past Wednesday (not today).
The triplets were actually born at 33 weeks because mom, Amanda Faher, developed pre-eclampsia and this was safer. It isn’t uncommon that a woman delivers multiples sooner than the due date, normally due to the space. I believe she actually went pretty far, close to the actual birth date than most.
The triplets are all boys, the names are: Matthew Aaron, Nathan Brady and Michael Christopher. I love theses names, I wonder if they plan on getting pregnant again, who knows they could end up with all girls. The doctor that delivered the babies said that delivering all of them as identical is a one in a million shot.
