TWENTY POUNDS OF TRIPLETS! I think you dodged a bullet!

A Northern California mom delivered triplets that weighed a combined record-breaking 20 pounds Someone please get this woman a prize, a drink, an extra set of hands?

“Twenty pounds is no joke,” points out CBS Sacramento. “That’s the same weight as two big bags of potatoes, or 36 onions, or 40 loaves of bread, or four gallons of milk.”

Brittany Deen gave birth to the three babies at Sacramento’s Sutter Memorial Hospital on November 8. While triplets are usually born early at about 32 weeks, Deen made it to 37, giving the infants plenty of time to grow. The average length of pregnancy is 38 weeks.

Sidney came in at 7.8 pounds; Elliott weighed 7.2 pounds; and Jenson was the smallest at 5.5 pounds. “Together they made for a Guinness World Record setting 20 pound child birth,” CBS Sacramento reported.

Deen gained 80 pounds during pregnancy and lost 50 immediately after birth. Most moms delivering one child are 12 pounds lighter after birth, according to BabyCenter.

While multiple births are often the result of infertility treatments such as IVF, Deen’s pregnancy was completely natural. Triplets occur naturally in about 1 in every 7921 pregnancies.

“We were excited. We were scared out of our minds,” Deen told CBS.
