Lorraine Roberts already thought her family was big enough when she found out she was pregnant at the age of 39. But the mother-of-six got an even bigger surprise when doctors told he she was having triplets. Mrs Roberts now has her hands full after she gave birth to three daughters by caesarean section, Daily Mail writes.
 The first to arrive on Tuesday was Ruby, weighing 4lb 10oz, then came Grace at 4lb 70z and finally Eva was born weighing 4lb 10oz. Their mother was discharged just two days later, but the little girls will have to stay in the Special Care Baby Unit at Maelor Hospital, in Wrexham, for a while longer.
Mrs Roberts learned at her 12-week scan that she was expecting triplets, and at 20 weeks doctors told her they were all girls. They now have a full house with Jessica, 16, Michael, 11, Lewis, seven, Matthew, six and Mea, four. Eldest son Dean, 18, is currently studying at Cardiff University.
Father Paul McNee, 53, a delivery driver for Barnardos, said: 'You get used to having lots of kids in the house because their friends are always around. 'I will be outvoted by women now though! Football could be in danger, although it will be a while before the triplets start speaking yet.'
Mrs Roberts, a care worker, said: 'The staff were lovely and put my mind at ease. I was a bit worried about having a c-section because all my other children have been natural births. I'm looking forward to looking after the triplets, I'm sure it will be a challenge.'
