She was shocked when she found out she was expecting triplets, especially since she had no family history of multiples.

The only exception was the babies’ paternal grandfather, who is a twin. Davaul’s triplets are named Mielle, Jerrad and Noelle. They were born at 33 weeks and spent some time in the neo-natal intensive care unit before going home with their mom.

They joined their older brothers, 8-year-old Messiah and 6-year-old twins Nasir and Sincere.

Davaul told ABC News that she was confident about raising twins, but having triplets was a different challenge.

She said:

I was like, ‘It’s easy,’ So I guess maybe God said, ‘You kept saying it was easy. I got something for you. Let’s see what you can do with three.’”

It was reported that Davaul’s case is even more unusual because she conceived both sets of multiples naturally, without any fertility treatments.
