Triplets are "three offspring produced in the same pregnancy". We were excited to drive past Cook Park recently and see that triplets have been "born" there. Sweet little ones, surrounded by their elders.
Some interesting facts about triplets:
One in 8,100 natural pregnancies result in triplets.
Average duration of pregnancy with triplets is 34 weeks.
Mrs. Feodor Vassilyeva had 69 children including seven sets of triplets.
Lily, Liina, and Leina Luik were the first set of triplets to compete in the Olympics (marathoners from Estonia competing in the 2016 Rio Games).
Faith, Hope and Charity Caldwell were born in Elm, Texas on May 18, 1899, Faith was the first to die on October 2, 1994 at the age of 95 years and 137 days. That remarkable feat was surpassed recently by the Kirchner triplets, Catherine, Marguerite and Frances. Born in Brooklyn, NY on August 23, 1920, they have all lived long lives.However, Frances passed away on June 2, 2019 at the age of 98.
