When doctors told Mallory Quinn she was pregnant with triplets, she couldn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were pretty shocked,\u201d Quinn tells TODAY.com. \u201cIt didn\u2019t process at first. It took a minute … actually it took a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n

But after Quinn delivered her triplets \u2014 Caden, Eliana and Rory \u2014 at Allegheny Health Network\u2019s West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on June 10, something even more surprising happened. <\/p>\n

A second set of triplets was delivered at the same hospital on June 11: Matt and Monica Wilden introduced the arrival of Dean, Charlie and Griffin. <\/p>\n

And a third set arrived on June 12: Julia and Jeff DeFrancisis with their babies, Mila, Clara and Lena.<\/p>\n

That means that the hospital welcomed three sets of triplets in three days … and all nine babies spent time together in the hospital\u2019s Level 3 NICU.<\/p>\n

Two of the three sets of triplets were conceived spontaneously (without the use of fertility medication). The odds of having spontaneous triplets<\/a> are roughly 1 in 9,000. <\/p>\n

Having three sets of triplets born in three consecutive days is a record for the hospital … but those aren\u2019t even the only triplets that the hospital has seen recently. <\/p>\n

West Penn recently helped Sydney and Grant Barnes welcome their triplets, Junie, Frankie and Teddy into the world on April 2. There have also been whispers about a fifth set of triplets on the way!<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I went for an ultrasound, (hospital staff) would be like, \u2018We have so many triplets right now,\u2019 but I had no idea that they were going to be all delivered within the same week!\u201d says Quinn.<\/p>\n

Mallory and Corri Quinn\u2019s journey to parenthood included five years of heartache, from miscarriages to IVF to a stillbirth. To now be the parents of spontaneous triplets without a family history of multiples, they say, is nothing short of \u201ca miracle.\u201d Despite the hour-long car rides to the hospital every evening, Mallory Quinn says the birth of their first babies has been \u201ca blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born at 31 weeks, the Quinn triplets have to \u201clearn how to regulate their temperature, and they have to gain weight, and they have to learn how to eat from a bottle\u201d before they\u2019ll be able to go home,\u201d says their mother.<\/p>\n

The triplet moms have all chatted at the hospital. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really nice to talk to them, and it would be nice to be able to stay in touch with them down the road,\u201d Quinn adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When doctors told Mallory Quinn she was pregnant with triplets, she couldn\u2019t believe it. \u201cWe were pretty shocked,\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-231980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
