From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A 19-year-old Baltimore woman defied odds of “one in many millions” when she gave birth to her second set of healthy triplets in 20 months, hospital officials said. Crystal Cornick and her fiance, Richard Williams, 22, found out in September that she was carrying their second set of triplets, the officials said, but the couple were still “dumbfounded” that it could have happened at all. Dr. Ira Gewolb, director of neonatology at University of Maryland Hospital for Children, said the odds of Cornick having a second set of triplets were pretty high, possibly ranging as high as one in 10 million.
