Being pregnant during a pandemic is a significant challenge for mothers, primarily because pregnant women are at increased risk of contracting influenza A (H1N1). For Allana Allard, age 29, this moment was even more challenging. Earlier this year, she was pregnant with triplets during the lockdown. Allana Allard, 29, and her husband Tim, 31, could not believe their family had grown by three with their first pregnancy after only two weeks of trying to conceive. The new mother from Davistown, New South Wales, Australia, revealed that she and Tim had been trying to conceive for only two weeks prior to discovering a positive home pregnancy test.
Excited by the news, the couple was eager to attend their first utsu together when Allana was six weeks pregnant; however, they were rendered speechless upon learning that Allana was carrying triplets. With no history of ut ts on either side of their families, Allana and Tim couldn't believe their family was about to increase in size by three with their first pregnancy. First-time mother who delivered identical triplets while on us despite the odds of 1 in 200 million.
And after having identical triplet boys Jaxon, Zac, and Zavier in May 2020, smack dab in the middle of the, the couple wouldn't have it any other way. Allana, who was born in Falkirk, Scotland, but moved to Australia when she was 13 years old, stated, "We decided to start trying for a baby in October of last year, and we were t within two weeks. We were extremely pleased. We went together to our very first s with low expectations because it was so early. Initially, we heard two tts, and we were informed that they were twins. However, after performing an internal utsu, we learned it was triplets. Tim turned pale as a ghost and uttered a few expletives. I entered the s. There is no history of ut ts on either side of our families; therefore, it was purely coincidental. After the initial s had worn off, we were simply ecstatic."
Naturally, we were anxious, as are all new parents, but we were so happy. According to some studies, the probability of a woman having identical triplets by natural means is as low as one in two hundred million. And as if being pregnant with triplets wasn't enough, five months into Allana's pregnancy, the world was turned upside down by the C.O.V.I.D-19. With strict measures in place to stop the s, the expectant mother's husband was no longer permitted to attend important appointments with her. And after the birth of her sons, the parents were not permitted to have any family members visit the triplets in the hospital during the three weeks they spent there before returning home.
Allana added that due to the C.O.V.I.D-19 t s, her beloved 82-year-old grandmother from St had to postpone her trip to Australia to see her great-grandsons. The administrative assistant stated, "It was such a trying period with C.O.V.I.D. Tim was not permitted on any of the ss, so he would have to spend hours in his car. Our family members were unable to meet the triplets until we brought them home. They spent three weeks in the NICU. It's s for my great-grandmother, who usually visits us twice a year, but we do not know when she will be able to meet her great-grandchildren. It significantly altered the experience of our first."
Initially, the couple believed that only two of their sons were identical, while the third was a sibling, because Jaxon and Zac were growing in one s and Zavier in another. Six weeks after their birth, however, DNA testing revealed that all three of their children were genetically identical. Tim, a miner, stated, "We never imagined they would be identical, as two of them shared a s and t while the other had his own. But after they were born, it was evident that they appeared identical. People suggested that we conduct a DNA test, just to be sure. We conducted a simple s test, and the results confirmed that the triplets were identical. It was incredible to receive such confirmation. The boys were born by -st at 33 weeks weighing 1,9 kilograms, 2 kilograms, and 2,3 kilograms.
Now that the triplets are nearly six months old, the couple has established a routine and their family of five is happier than ever. Allana stated, "It still blows my mind that I gave birth to three children. I did not have any morning sss or major ts; it was a good day. It took us several months to organize everything. We required three of each item. It increases the price of everything by a factor of three. We had to order our stroller from abroad, but it was delayed by C.O.V.I.D and arrived just in time. We consume at least three cans of infant formula per week, and diapers are never-ending. Nowhere in the city can we travel without being stopped. Our stroller is so large that you cannot miss it. Being blessed with triplets was both a curse and a boon. We would have nothing different."
