An Ohio woman has given birth to her own, triplet granddaughters.
And in having her daughter’s three newborns, Jaci Dalenberg, 56, may have become the oldest surrogate mom anywhere to have had triplets, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Dalenberg, who has four adult kids of her own, carried the triplets for her daughter, Kim Coseno, a 36-year-old nurse in her second marriage, and Kim’s husband, firefighter Joe Coseno, 30.
The result? The third try to transfer eggs to Jaci turned out to be a charm.
And the triplets, though two are technically twins and the third a “singleton,” were born within two minutes of each other, nine weeks premature, on Oct. 11.
In birth order: Elizabeth, the singleton, weighed in at two pounds, 14-1/2 ounces, Carmina was two pounds even, and Gabrielle tipped the scale at two pounds, nine ounces
Dalenberg underwent hormonal therapy to strengthen her uterus and delivered at 31 weeks when one of the girls appeared to not be growing appropriately.
Coseno said in an interview Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the baby girls are doing well at Hillcrest Hospital in the Cleveland suburb Mayfield Heights. Elizabeth is expected to be the first to go home.
