A New York mother has given birth to her third set of natural twins, making her and her husband the parents of ten active children. On Monday, Kimberly Alarcon delivered fraternal twin daughters Kenzy and Kenzley at the Westchester Medical Center via a C-section, having previously undergone a C-section to give birth to her initial set of twin girls.
The probability of having three sets of natural twins is only one in 200,000, implying that it’s extremely unlikely.
Alarcon said to TODAY, “Our home is full of love. We have good days, we have bad days, just like any other family. We just take it one day at a time.”
Alarcon had already given birth to three other children before she became pregnant with her first set of twins. Three years after delivering her first set of twins, she became pregnant with another set. She was never expecting to get pregnant with her first set of twins. She only planned on having one or two children, but she ended up giving birth to three sets of twins after learning she was pregnant in 2021. She had always dreamed of becoming a mother, but this time it is different since she is expecting triplets.
She posted on Instagram, “Kenzy and Kenzley started their journey as a trio but unfortunately, while at the doctor’s office, I miscarried who I believe was my boy Kent. God gives us what he knows we can handle, so yes, we will love him and remember him.”
Despite the fact that she has a large family, it is nothing new to the busy mom. She was one of eighteen brothers and sisters while growing up, making her mother an extremely busy woman as she worked hard to raise healthy children.
“Having a packed house is normal for me,” Alarcon’s explained. “Not only were there eighteen of us, but then we also had our friends coming over. Sometimes we had thirty kids over at once.”
Meanwhile, Alarcon’s husband, John, was one of two children. He had a brother and always wanted to have a big family. While making a family with Alarcon, he is living his dream and creating a family of his own.
“It’s a handful, but we are grateful,” she made a joke about how John would want even more children if they had the ability to create them.
Mom said, “So far, Kenzy is our milk guzzler. She plays no games with her feedings while Kenzley is taking her place as the youngest and baby of our tribe too serious she’s our little spoiled girl loves to be held at such a young age even while she’s asleep.”
Today, according to TODAY parents, women who are “over the age of 35, (have a) higher BMI, and (have) a history of twins on the mother’s side” are more likely to give birth to twins.
Still, Alarcon’s case is exceptional.
“But three sets of twins back-to-back without medication or any intervention is highly unusual,” Dr. Angela Silber, chief of maternal-fetal medicine at Westchester Medical Center, told TODAY. “It’s pretty incredible.”
