The chances of giving birth to triplets once are more than 8,000-1
A 16-year-old Argentine girl has given birth to female triplets - for the second time.

The girl, named only as Pamela, had her first set of female triplets aged 15, having first given birth to a son when she was just 14. :wow:

All seven children were born prematurely but without any kind of fertility treatment.

While doctors say the three newborns and their mother are well, the case has sparked debate across Argentina.

2. Hmm...

8000x8000 = 16.000.000

Still much more likely than winning the lottery AFAIK ;)

4. actually, once you have had a multiple birth

the chances of having a multiple birth increase. So it wouldn't be 8,000 times 8,000.

13. Yes, that must be true. I have a friend who has two sets of twins. n/t

3. And her mom's cleaning houses to help support this brood.

Now they're wanting more from the government. Sounds like some of my neighbors, except none of them have had 7 by age 16. So far.

6. Someone needs to suggest a tubal ligation

Obviously with 7 kids by the time she's 16, she's more than "done her part"..

sheeesh..

8. Yea, it's too bad the guys can just hit and run, so to speak,

when they're just as responsible.

But I'm assuming they're also children and, well...

[Kitty Herder]

11. Yes. That would be the sensible thing. nt

[Kitty Herder]

9. OMG! I hope she has lots of help from relatives.

Otherwise those kids are going to have a hard time of it.
