To say the least, the Dahm Triplets had been born into interesting lives. It is already unusual to be born as a trio, but growing up with a life like theirs made things even more interesting for these sisters. However, the most fascinating thing about their lives happened after they took a DNA test together. Not a single person in the world could have figured out the result that the identical triplets received.
We are sure that you would not have suspected what they showed either. Don’t believe us? Keep reading.
Triple The Trouble
In December of 1977, the world welcomed the birth of the Dahm triplets: Nicole, Erica, and Jaclyn. Apart from the three lovely girls, there was another Dahm child, also a girl. Have you ever considered just how rare it is to give birth to triplets?
The truth is that it can be dangerous to carry more than a single child, because complications often happen. On top of that, many parents feel stress upon hearing such an unexpected development.
Tattooing The Triplets
All parents will tell you that parenthood is a challenging and daunting task. You can probably imagine how hard it must be to raise twins, but it can be even more difficult to raise triplets. A lot of people eventually tell identical siblings apart by their personalities. However, this trick will not work when you are dealing with infants. Most babies behave in the same manner!
Tattooing The Triplets
The Dahm parents had to come up with an amazing way to tell which baby girl was which, but you might think it is more than a little strange. The couple went ahead and gave the children their first tattoos! That is right, the Dahm parents placed tiny dots on the babies’ bums so that they could tell them apart. The dots were based on the order of their birth. This is the reason firstborn Nicole had one on her rear and Erica, who was born next, had two on hers. However, they decided not to give Jaclyn one since it was no longer necessary. It was a good thing they did not go for anything wild, and the tattoos could now pass off as mere freckles.
