It was quite the surprise
A mum has given birth to rare naturally-conceived identical triplet girls - after being told they'd all be boys. New parents Jake Hammerton, 22, and partner Caitlin Knight, 20, were thrilled when they learned Caitlin was pregnant.
Jake, an electrical engineer, said: "The triplets didn't meet until last week because of all the machines monitoring them. When they met, we could tell they definitely knew each other. They kept putting their hands on each other's faces. Two months later, on Jake's birthday, April 5, he got the best present - the news that they were having three babies. Jake explained when they went into Jessop Hospital, Sheffield, even the doctors were shocked when they spotted identical triplets, because they're so rare.
They chose Theo, Luca and Jude for their little boys and nervously awaited their arrival. Caitlin began getting back pains on August 24, and they began fearing something was wrong with the babies - until Caitlin's waters broke. Caitlin added: "Jake told me and I said 'don't joke like that, it's not funny!' but he wasn't joking."
