3 Babies Born To 3 Sisters In 3 Days

Missouri Women Have Them In Same Hospital, With Same Doctor

(CBS/AP)  The first surprise was when three Missouri sisters discovered they were pregnant and due around the same time. But the bigger surprise came last week when their babies — Sophia, Jack and Kara — were born on three consecutive days at the same hospital in the St. Louis suburb of St. Charles.

The sisters live in Warrenton, about 40 miles away.

Tracey Mueller, 28, was the first to give birth; daughter Sophia Ann Mueller arrived at 7:07 a.m. on Dec. 28.

Labor pains next struck Trisha Duvel, 31, who delivered Jack Thomas Duvel at 9:39 p.m. on Dec. 29.

The next morning, Jamie Roden, 24, started feeling queasy. She checked into St. Joseph Health Center in St. Charles in the afternoon, and Kara Grace Roden arrived at 9:23 p.m.

"It was a complete joke the entire pregnancy that we'd have them at the same time. But none of us really thought it would ever happen," Duvel said.

"Tracey found out first" that she was pregnant, Duvel told The Early Show co-anchor Rene Syler Friday. "Then, when she found out, I found out probably a couple weeks after she did. Then, right after that, probably a couple days later, Jamie found out that she was expecting. So we were all kind of in shock for a little while."
