A mother was surprised knowing that she would be conceiving triplets. On the other hand, she was more stunned when she found out that her triplets are genetically identical. The miracle boy triplets are named little Roman, Rocco and Rohan.

Becki-Jo Allen, 23, the mother of three baby boys has been told that her naturally conceived triplets are identical and this beat the odds of 200 million to one born exactly the same. Those who witness them cannot them which one was which. On the other hand, for Mum Becki-Jo, she for one has no trouble telling them apart. "When they were newborns it was quite hard to tell which one was which, but I never got them mixed up myself," said Becki-Jo. She added that they have all got dark birthmarks between their eyebrows. On the other hand, baby Roman's birthmark between his eyebrows is slightly darker than Rocco and Rohan. There is another birthmark on the leg of Rohan besides the birthmark on the eyebrows, according to Daily Mail. DNA testing could determine if twins or triplets are identical, according to the Multiple Births Foundation. When people told Becki that they couldn't distinguish the triplets from one another, she sent off samples of their DNAs to be tested. Then, the results showed that they are genetically identical.

According to Mirror, the three boys have a big sister. She is three years old and her name is Indiana. Her mother said that Indiana is never jealous of her three brothers.

Meanwhile, Ms. Becki-Jo said the personalities of her boy triplets are beginning to show. She described Rohan as the loud one and always shouting. On the other hand, Rocco is normally quite laid-back, yet can be feisty too. Meanwhile, Roman is usually complaining that he does not want to share. She also said that all the help and medical attention that have received has been wonderful and that she is so happy they are all doing so well now.
