Triplets
Triplets are a type of multiple birth where a woman gives birth to three babies at the same time. They can occur naturally or through assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF). Triplets can be identical, fraternal, or a combination of both. Identical triplets come from a single fertilized egg that splits into three, while fraternal triplets come from three separate eggs fertilized by three different sperm.
Caring for triplets can be challenging due to the increased demands of feeding, changing, and comforting three infants simultaneously. Families with triplets often require additional support, such as help from relatives or childcare services. The experience can be both rewarding and overwhelming, as parents navigate the joys and challenges of raising multiple children at once.
