The triplets Abby, Laurel and Brin Hepner were born in Northern California on November 22 and are doing well, doctors at Sutter Memorial Hospital said.
The triplets, born to parents Hannah and Tom Hepner, were produced when a single, fertilised egg split into three, the 'Sacramento Bee' reported.
The odds of conceiving identical triplets without fertility drugs are anywhere from 1-in-1-million to 1-in-100-million, said Dr William Gilbert, director of Sutter Women's Services.
At birth, Abby weighed 3 pounds, 2 ounces; Brin was 3 pounds, 11 ounces; and Laurel tipped the scale at 4 pounds, the report said.
Doctors said those are good weights for triplets and the babies are doing well.
