- In 2006 6,118 out of 4,265,555 births in the US were triplet births. That's about .15%!
- The rates of triplet birth have been declining, probably because of advances in infertility treatments.
- Less than 20% of triplets born between 1998 and 2003 are natural triplets.
- We are in a good group! 1 of every 3 triplet births happen very preterm - at less than 32 weeks of gestation. We will most likely deliver AFTER 33 weeks and 5 days based on some testing we had done.
